I'm not sure about this but at sometime I think both Tiverton and Little
Compton RI were part of Bristol Co MA so you might check the county clerk
there. I think it's Taunton but I could be wrong on that.

Subject: [MABRISTO] Help on Tiverton


> Tivertonians:
> Please.... I need some help. I have a man named Roger Cory/Corey
who died apparently in 1799. His will was written in 1793, but proven in
Oct 1799. His death I got from the Newport Co, RI marriages from probate
records, and his Probate/Will says it was proven in S.K.which I believe is
South Kingston. The only two references I found are {Ti 5:512 and Ti
7:46} and I figured the 'Ti' meant Tiverton, so I wrote to the town clerk of
Tiverton. The town clerk said he can only find one {Ti 5:512} and it is
only one page. I'm sure Roger Corey had more than one page of probate
because I have seen information where it discussed that Roger Corey married
a widow Susannah Francis, and named her 2 children of her previous marriage
and how she filed to settle his estate.....and, Roger Corey seemed fairly
well off. If most of the probate is not in Tiverton, does anyone know
where it might be housed and/or where I should write? Down here in Texas,
all proba!
> te is kept at the county level in a county probate court. You just
order the whole probate package and you get the Will, settlement of estate,
Inventory, etc.. Things apparently aren't that simple up there in Rhode
Island :~). I could really use some help.
