Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Waite Family of Malden, Mass Through Hannah (cheever) Waite, Mr. Corey traced his ascent to Rev. Thomas Cheever, the first minister of Rumney Marsh (chelsea), and his more famous son, Ezekiel Cheever, the New England schoolmaster; also to Capt. Joseph Cheever who led his company at Bunker Hill and Trenton, another Revolutionary sire having been Peter Winsor, a non-commissioned officer who was at the surrender of Burgoyne. Job Lane, the builder of the Bell Rock church, where stands Malden's memorial park and monument, was an ancestor of Mr. Corey, and he included eight passengers upon the Mayflower in various lines of ascent. Mr. Corey's childhood and youth were spent in the public schools of Malden. At the age of seventeen he became a book-keeper in the hardware business of Flint 8: Carter, of Boston, and here he remained thirteen years, becoming a partner of the concern in 1866, which, under the names of Stratton, Orton 8: Corey, and Stratton, Corey 81 Co., continued the business until the great fire of 1872. A new firm, Corey, Brooks Co., was then formed, from which he retired in 1877 on the formation of the Maverick Oil Company, of which he soon became treasurer, a position he retained when the corporation ceased and the business was merged in and continued by the Boston department of the Standard Oil Company. He retired from active business in 1898. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
