Family 2 Charlotte Elizabeth HAINES, b. 15 Sep 1833, Cheltenham Spa, Gloucestershire, England. , d. 16 Apr 1924, Ashtonleigh, Vacy, NSW, Australia (Age 90 years)

Married 17 Aug 1876 the Presbyterian Manse, East Maitland, NSW.Australia

The marriage record lists Charlotte as a Widow,her first husband William Thomas Hingston having died prior to this marriage to Gilbert.

Their six younger children were registered as Hingstons,but were always known as Cory's ,and Gilbert's children,a fact borne out in his will in which he names the children as his.The children were all born before Gilbert and Charlotte married in 1876,the first child in 1859,the youngest in 1873.

"Ashtonleigh", (the cottage on the edge of Vacy township)was built for Charlotte (2nd wife of Gilbert Cory) after her husband's death , and she and her daughters Charlotte-born1859-(Worthington,married 1883) ,Susan Annie -born1861(remained unmarried),and Gertrude Gilberta Ashwick Cory -born 1871-(later Cox ,married after Gilberts death in 1896) were the beneficiaries of all remaining property ,personal effects and personal belongings in Gilberts Will, and no property was to be sold until after wife Charlottes death - which occurred on 16th April 1924

Her unmarried daughters Susan Annie ,and Gertrude lived with Charlotte in Astonleigh, until Gertrude married in 1899, and then the unmarried Susan Annie remained there until Charlotte's death in 1924

It was in 1927 , three years after Charlottes death , that the entire Vacy estate was disposed of (this would have included Charlotte's residence,Ashtonleigh) ,comprising 60 farms, grazing areas, town allotment's, Post Office, Hotel, Butchery, Stores, and Bakery. This ended nearly 100 years association of the Cory's and the Hunter Valley

Notes

(Research):Gilbert Cory was the youngest son of John Cory and Mary Gostwick.John and his eldest son ,Edward Gostwyck Cory, and Edwards wife Frances,Nee Johnson,arrived in Sydney in 1823 on board the "Allies".In 1830 Gilbert arrived on board the "Elizabeth",and his other brother John Johnston Cory ,arrived in 1833 on the "Strathfieldsday".

Gilbert was the only member of the family to have children who remained in Australia.

Father John returned to his farm "Ashton" in Cornwall in 1827 ,and he and his wife Mary died within a month of each other in May 1855.

Gilberts brother Edward, and his wife Frances had no children, and his brother John died in Sydney in 1839,after which John's widow Elizabeth and daughter Agnes Mary returned to North Tawton in Devon ,where Agnes lived until her death in 1885,aged 46.

Gilberts funeral notice in the Maitland Mercury on Friday 19th June 1896 states the funeral would take place at "Neyarra",Vacy ,and Gilbert would be laid to rest "in the precincts of his much loved home, situated so beautifully on the banks of he Paterson River"

The western section of Cory Vale, consisting of 280 acres west of the Allyn River, was renamed Tackbeare. In due course it was owned by Gilbert Cory in his own right. After the death of his second wife, the property was subdivided into blocks to suit the existing tenants and was auctioned in 1925. Three of Gilbert's grandsons, Claude, Robert and Roland Worthington bought a small block of 2 acres 1 rood.
