Newtownbutler - Corry & More Heraldry

In July 2017 when I passed Butlersbridge, Co Fermanagh I came across two interesting eighteenth century gravestones (maybe seventeenth century). From the inscriptions and coats of arms they appear to be for Corry and More but I haven't found out much about the individuals, Goerge Corry and William More since. Any help would be welcome.

The inscription appears to read something like: Here lyeth the body of (sir?) | George Corry who de ..| ed this life ... The inscription was difficult to make out but the name George Corry seemed to appear again.
