The Oak Tree by Thomas Bewick<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFirst Generation:<\/h3>\n
(1) Emanuel Coryell (1706 – 1749) & Sarah Tunison (1706 – )<\/p>\n
The Somerset Quarterly published “Earliest American Ancestors of Somerset Families” in Vol. V p.188 et seq, which included this statement:\u00ac\u2020 “Elias, Emanuel (or John Emanuel) and David Coriell, perhaps with another brother Abraham, emigrated from the island of Corsica in 1663, and were French. Emanuel went to Lambertville and operated a ferry there in 1733.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clearly there is a problem here. The Emanuel who emigrated in 1663 must be a father or grandfather of the Emanuel who settled in Amwell and started a ferry in 1733.<\/p>\n
Sarah Tunison was the daughter of Cornelis Tunison (1652-1731) and Nelltje Bogart (1660-1740).\u00ac\u2020As is my usual practice, I include here the children of daughters but not their grandchildren. Spouses whose families have family trees published on this website have their surnames highlighted in green.<\/p>\n
I have not done a lot of research on this family, so there are many loose threads and missing branches. Please feel free to make corrections or additions in the comments section.<\/p>\n
Second Generation:<\/h3>\n(1) Emanuel Coryell & Sarah Tunison of Amwell Township
\n|\u00ac\u2020 \u00ac\u2020(2.1) Maj. John Coryell (1730 – 1799) & Elizabeth Harvey (1730 – 1799), d\/o Thomas & Tamor Harvey. He soon moved to Solebury where he ran the ferry on the Pennsylvania side of the river, and in 1774 got a tavern license there. Eventually he and Elizabeth moved to Independence Twp. in Sussex Co.<\/em>
\n|\u00ac\u2020 \u00ac\u2020(2.2) Cornelius Coryell (1732 – 1824) & Sarah Sally Shaw (c.1735 – 1830). This couple remained in Amwell Township, on their farm on Goat Hill overlooking Coryell\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Ferry.<\/em>
\n|\u00ac\u2020 \u00ac\u2020(2.3) Capt. George Coryell (1734 – 1813), active in the Revolution, lifelong resident of Coryell\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Ferry.<\/em>

Part owner of Coryell\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Ferry for a time; in later years resided in Kingwood Township. <\/em>Some trees consider Abraham Moses Coriell (1738-1828) of Middlesex County, married to Esther Heath (1738-1796) to be the same as Abraham Coryell of Coryell\u201a\u00c4\u00f4s Ferry, Hunterdon.<\/em>
