EMANUEL CORYELL of Lambertville, New Jersey and his Descendants
Being a brief history of the origin of Emanuel Coryell and the Coryell Family, with an outline of his descendants to the fourth generation.
By INGHAM CORYELL
Preface (selected, verbatim):
The purpose of the following narrative of Emanuel Coryell, and the two succeeding generations of his descendants, is to put into permanent form such facts as are known for members of the family and others who are interested. Many traditions have been passed down from one generation to the next and the original sources of many of these stories can no longer be determined. No complete records exist as they do in the case of many families more prominent during the Revolutionary period. Consequently most members of the family have very vague and incorrect ideas of the part played by their ancestors during those historic times. The only known published work with any considerable data on the Coryell Family is Sarah Gallagher's "Early History of Lambertville." Actually it contains little connected genealogical material, being principally what the title implies, a history of Lambertville. There are numerous references to and data on individual family members in county histories and similar publications.
§2 — Verbatim transcription: Origin of the Family (pp. 5-6)
Selected verbatim:
THERE are such varied and conflicting beliefs regarding the origin of the Coryell family, that it seems appropriate to start this history with an outline of these stories, so that the reader can judge for himself whether they fit in with the known facts or not. The most prevalent idea is that the Coryells were French Huguenots, so we review the history of the Huguenots briefly.
[...Huguenot context — King Henry IV 1598 Edict of Nantes; Louis XIV 1685 Revocation; mass migration of 300,000 to England, Holland, America...]
Most of the Dutch immigration was to New York, especially Long Island. Later many of these people, or their children, ventured further into the interior. A great many settled in the Raritan Valley in New Jersey. The name Coryell first appears in this vicinity as early as 1663. To go back to the Huguenot history, many of the Huguenots migrated from France long before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Thus the appearance of the name Coryell in 1663 would not necessarily rule out the possibility that they were originally Huguenots. It would, however, eliminate the idea that they left France during the great exodus of 1685.
[Page 6...] Rietstaps Armorial Guide lists three families, denoting their localities; namely—Curial (Picardie); Curel (Champagne); and Curiel (Espagne). Many present day Coryells believe they are descended from one of these old European families. [...]
A good many have heard the tradition, passed down thru their families, that the Coryells were French Huguenots but that they left France at an early date for the island of Corsica and that it was from this point that the journey to America was made.
An early Connecticut marriage record, April 9, 1764 shows an Emanuel Corriel from Portugal marrying a Hannah Williamson. This is the only direct connection of the name with any European country that we have found and this means very little as the reference may merely be to the port of embarkation, not necessarily that the person referred to was a native of that country. No descendants of this Emanuel Correll have been found, nor any suggestion of a connection with the New Jersey family who were in America many years earlier.
In Barber & Howe's Historical Sketches, published in 1844, they refer to Emanuel Coryell as being French and coming from the eastern part of the province. Data and sources of information available to them at that early date can probably be relied upon as being correct.
Little accurate or connected genealogical material has been found to cover what was probably two or three, if not four, early generations of Coriells in New Jersey. It appears probable that an Abraham Coriell living in Piscataway Township in 1702 was the father of four sons, David, Emanuel, Samuel and Abraham. All present generation Coryells can trace their ancestry back to one of these four. David and Samuel can be proved to be brothers, and it is only slightly less certain that the others were their brothers also. Most of those who have investigated these matters are satisfied on this point.
§3 — Verbatim: Sarah Tunison Coryell parentage (p. 7)
The headline brother-in-law-via-Sarah hypothesis test.
Verbatim:
The earliest actual record of Emanuel Coryell that we have found is August 24, 1727 when he witnessed the will of Cornelius Teunissen of Raritan, Somerset County. This was his wife's (or future wife's) father. Cornelius Teunissen was a descendant of a Dutch family that settled on Long Island. He came to the Raritan Valley, near Somerville, N. J., about 1683. Here the birth records of all his children, excepting his eldest son, are to be found in the Dutch Reformed Church. And it is in the records of this Dutch Reformed Church that we find the baptismal date of his daughter, Sarah, April 3, 1706. It was she who became the wife of Emanuel Coryell.
Resolution: Sarah is definitively née Tunison (Long Island Dutch descent), NOT Cooper. The brother-in-law-via-Sarah hypothesis (= Daniel Sr's sister married Emanuel = Sarah was a Cooper-sister of Daniel Sr) is DEAD.
§4 — Verbatim: Lambertville settlement (p. 8)
Selected verbatim:
EMANUEL CORYELL secured a patent from King George II of England, in 1732 to operate a ferry across the Delaware River at what is now Lambertville, N. J. The ferry franchise is among the records still on file at Trenton, N. J. As he owned considerable land in the vicinity and as the granting of the ferry charter presumably took some time it is natural to assume that he had resided in the district for some years previous. Sarah Gallagher sets the time of his arrival as between 1720 and 1730, and states that he was the first white settler in the region. He purchased the ferry tract from John Purcel on Feb. 8, 1732.
[...] Emanuel Coryell operated the Ferry and the Inn, or Ferry House, until his death in 1749. The Stone Tavern remained standing until 1855 when it was finally torn down. He was the original settler and the community's most prosperous citizen and very active in developing the section. We find his name on numerous wills and other documents. With the possible exception of his eldest son, John, his children were all born in the Ferry House where he resided.
At the time he died his estate included 1503 acres, a good part of the present city of Lambertville. An inventory lists besides the usual barns, meadows, etc., 8 negro slaves. Slaves were common during those days on estates of good size. In the final settlement of his estate a portion of his land was designated "to be a burying ground for his descendants forever." This is the lot on which the Presbyterian Church now stands, and in the church yard some of the gravestones of these early Coryells still exist. Many more have doubtless disappeared or thru neglect were never placed. No stone marks the resting place of the pioneer and the exact place of his burial is unknown.
§5 — Verbatim: Children list (p. 9)
The children of Emanuel and Sarah Coryell were:
# Child Spouse Dates 2-1 John Coryell m. Elizabeth Harvey 1730-1799 2-2 Cornelius m. Sallie Shaw 1732-1831 2-3 George m. Eleanor Pidcock 1734-1813 2-4 William (none) 1736 - d. young 2-5 Abraham m. Sarah Davis 1738-1828 2-6 Nellie (none) 1740 - d. young 2-7 Sarah m. (1) Philip Atkinson; (2) John Ely 1743-1821
Plus per p. 9 narrative: "the two youngest children were 6 and 11 years old [at Emanuel's 1748-9 death]. Thus it was not until 1760 that a final division of the estate was made. In the meantime his widow had married George Ely, of Bucks County, Penna., but no children resulted from this marriage."

§7 — Per-page narrative pp. 11-36 — split into detail files
Per-page verbatim narrative for Ingham Coryell pages 11-36 lives in two companion files (split out 2026-05-06 v187.5g for token-budget reasons; parent file exceeded the 25k-token Read cap):
- I.48-detail-pp11-23.yaml — sections §7a (p. 11) through §7m (p. 23). Covers John Coryell 2-1 conclusion + Cornelius 2-2 + George 2-3 + Abraham 2-5 + Sarah 2-7 (= all 7 of Emanuel's children) + Gen 3 narratives for John 2-1's family (Emanuel 3-1 + Sarah 3-2 + Amelia 3-4 + John 3-5 + Joseph 3-6 + Elizabeth 3-7) + start of Cornelius 2-2's family (George 3-8 Washington pallbearer narrative + 1803 Ann Hamilton Coryell letter from Alexandria VA).
- I.48-detail-pp24-36.yaml — sections §7n (p. 24) through §7x (p. 36). Covers rest of Cornelius 2-2's family (Mary 3-9 + Jacob 3-10 + John 3-12 + Cornelius 3-14 + Joseph 3-15 + Sarah 3-16) + George 2-3's family (Cornelius 3-17 + Abraham 3-18 + Jesse 3-19 + Judge John 3-21) + Abraham 2-5's family (John 3-22 prison-ship death + George 3-23 + Martha 3-25 + Mary 3-26 + Joseph 3-27 + Abraham 3-28 + Elizabeth 3-29) + back-matter blank pages.
The §7y Index of Surnames analysis + "What this source establishes" + Cross-references + Open follow-ups + Provenance all remain in this file below.
§7y — Index of Surnames (pp. 34-35) — ZERO Cooper entries
The book's Index of Surnames is alphabetical and lists every non-Coryell surname appearing in the book with page references. Surnames in the C-section:
Caldwell · Cameron · Canby · Canfield · Compton · Conard · Conrad · Conselius · Cook · Craik
No "Cooper" entry between Conselius and Cook (where Cooper would alphabetize). No Cooper-surname references anywhere in the book per OCR-confirmed sweep of all 36 page-images 2026-05-05.
This is a catalog-grade negative finding: across 4 generations of Coryell descendants documented in 1943 by a Coryell genealogist with access to family records and Sarah Gallagher's earlier Early History of Lambertville, no Cooper-Coryell intermarriages exist (or none worth recording). The Cooper-Coryell connection attested at A.18 (Daniel Cooper as Overseer of Emanuel's 1745 will) and A.8 (Elias Coriell as executor of Daniel Sr's 1791 will) does NOT trace to any Coryell-descendant marriage.
What this source establishes
1. Sarah Tunison parentage — primary-source-locked
Sarah is née Tunison (= Teunissen), baptized 3 April 1706 Reformed Dutch Church Raritan-Somerville, daughter of Cornelius Teunissen who came to Raritan Valley ~1683 from Long Island Dutch stock. Companion file (image held in the family archive) is a screenshot of The Bergen Family (Teunis G. Bergen 1876) p. 75 = independent confirmation of the Tunisen Long Island family per OCR partial read.
Implication for Daniel Sr / "brother Immanuel" research: The brother-in-law-via-Sarah hypothesis (= Sarah was a Cooper-sister of Daniel Sr who married Emanuel) is definitively DEAD. Daniel Sr's relationship to Emanuel — whatever it was — does not run through Sarah.
2. Zero Cooper-Coryell intermarriages in 4 generations — CONFIRMED at narrative level v187.5f (FULL VOLUME 2026-05-05)
Per Index of Surnames p. 34-35 + OCR-verified absence in all 36 pages + full-volume narrative-level confirmation v187.5f (2026-05-05) extending across all printed narrative pages 5-32 (= all 7 of Emanuel's children's families + ALL 21 surviving Gen 3 grandchildren + ALL 95 Gen 4 great-grandchildren named with spouses where known): no Cooper surname appears in any documented spouse, child, or named figure across the entire book. Across Emanuel's 7 children + their 50+ documented children + complete Gen-3 spouse list + complete Gen 4-1 through 4-95 spouse list, no Coryell descendant married a Cooper.
Spouse-surname inventory from pp. 11-32 (= 100+ named spouses or 1st-mention figures): Hamilton (Nancy/Ann; possibly daughter of Commodore Hamilton USN — unconfirmed), Lambert (×4: Sarah Lambert dau. of Gov. John Lambert NJ; Hannah Lambert m. Cornelius 4-26; Letitia Prall m. Jacob Lambert; "Mr. Lambert" letter inquiry; — note Lambert 4-25 John Lambert Coryell is intra-naming-pattern after the in-law surname), Hankinson (Nancy m. Jacob 3-10; intra-naming Joseph Hankinson 4-29), Ortlip (Sarah; mother Mary Linderman Ortlip), (intra-Coryell 3-6→3-13 first-cousin marriage), Dilts (×3: Caty for Cornelius 3-14, George for Sarah 3-16, Rebecca Dilts Coryell intra-naming), Conselius (Katie + intra-naming for Cornelius 3-14's son Cornelius), Bray, Hunter, Pidcock (×2: Eleanor; Mary Pidcock for Cornelius 3-17), Johnson, Brooks, Bonham, Fister, Smith, Van Buskirk, Moore (×2 brothers Capt. Moses Moore m. Martha 3-25 then sister Mary 3-26 = 2 sisters in succession), Conard, Conrad (Susanna m. Joseph 3-27 = Conrad-not-Conard variant spelling), McPherson (Elizabeth m. Abraham 3-28), Highland (×2: Mary 2nd wife of Abraham 3-28 + Elizabeth m. son John 4-87), Davis (Sarah), Atkinson (Philip), Ely (John Sr), Starkey, Caldwell (Frances), MacAdams (Isabel bound-out), Ingham (Dr.), Hooper (Col.), Palmer, Patterson, Barstow, Potter, Everitt, Hurd, Cameron, Lounsberry, Martin, Lanning (Robert), Deshong, Fleming (×2), Howell, Van Sycle (= NOT Van Court), Reading (William Anderson Reading m. Deborah 3-27 daughter), Hart, Cook, Garrison, Prall (×2), Parker, Dennis, Richard, Brown (Hannah Coryell 4-13 m. ____ Brown — Coryell-into-Brown direction, no children, no Cooper Y-DNA implication), Vansant, Swayze, Hazen (×2), Matlock (×2), Bailey (Mrs. Samuel L. = nephew Thomas J. Coryell 4-49's widow — George 3-8 lived with her), Studdiford (Rev. Dr. P. O.), Turner (Sophia), Gaw (Emma R.), Waples (Burton Wallace), Titreville (Urban Eugene), Price (Sarah Ann + Daniel Price m. 4-91 Rebecca), Peck (Wm. Scarlett), Garber (Adam), Biles (William), Compton (Elizabeth), Bishop (Olive), Solomon (Lyman), Seward (Frank), Linderman (Mary), Snyder (Joseph m. 4-85 Sarah), Bakeless (Philip m. 4-86 Elizabeth), Fiss (Thomas m. 4-88 Margaret B.), Hinebauch (George m. 4-89 Jane), Walker (m. 4-90 Charles, given name not recorded), Gaugler (×2 brother+sister Daniel + Catherine m. 4-92 Mary M. + 4-95 Robert H.), Marselis (Amos m. Ann Eliza 3-27 daughter), Rittenhouse (William m. Sarah Moore — granddaughter of Mary 3-26). No Cooper. No Van Court.
Van Court check FINALIZED v187.5f: across the entire book pp. 5-32 not a single Van Court spouse appears (the only Van Court attestation in the book remains the foundational chart p. 4 entry "Abraham Coriell Jr m. Catrynte Van Court" + her 4 children — and that line's descendants are NOT covered in this Emanuel-focused volume). The Coryell-Van Court intermarriage cluster runs through Abraham Jr's branch only, not through Emanuel's branch documented here.
Notable Dutch "Van"-prefix surnames cluster on p. 30 (George 3-23's branch in central PA): Van Buskirk (Charity m. George 3-23 + her brother Richard), Van Cleve (Elizabeth m. 4-80), Van Voast (Nicholas m. 4-82 + Francis m. 4-84 — brothers married two Coryell sisters). None are Van Court — they are distinct Dutch-American surname lineages from Van Cortlandt-derived Van Court. This Coryell branch (Abraham 2-5 → George 3-23 → Union Co. PA → Butler Co. Ohio) intermarried with Pennsylvania-Dutch (= German Palatine) surnames, not the New Jersey Dutch-Reformed Van Court network around Raritan-Somerville.
Particularly important: Sarah Coryell 2-7 (the open hypothesis-test target — '4 Atkinson + 2 Ely children' = most likely sub-branch where a 4th-generation female Cooper marriage might surface) shows ZERO Cooper at the children level. The 4 Atkinson children's marital fates remain to be checked at p. 26+ (PRIORITY 1 partial). Also notable: George 3-8 (Washington pallbearer) Y-line dead-ends — both his children died young without issue.
Lambert family connection: Jacob Coryell 3-10 m. Sarah Lambert (dau. of Governor John Lambert = Acting Governor of NJ 1802-1803, namesake of Lambertville). Their son Cornelius 4-26 m. Hannah Lambert (likely Lambert-cousin marriage). Lambert appears as middle/given name in 4-25 John Lambert Coryell. The "Mr. Lambert" inquiry in Ann Hamilton Coryell's 1803 Alexandria letter (p. 22) likely relates to this Lambert in-law network.
Implication for Theory 5 of Cooper-Coryell Y-DNA mystery (per project pr.16 Cooper-Coriell Y-DNA mystery.md): The hypothesis that Cooper-Coryell intermarriage at Gen 2-3 NJ via Van Court bridge transmitted Coriell Y-DNA into a Cooper-surnamed line is NOT supported by Coryell-side documentation. If such a marriage occurred, it must have been:
- (a) On the Cooper side (Cooper-male m. Coryell-female) AND not recorded by Ingham Coryell because the daughter's married surname was Cooper, OR
- (b) In an undocumented branch (Coryell descendants Ingham Coryell missed), OR
- (c) The Y-DNA mechanism is not via NJ Gen 2-3 intermarriage at all (Theory 5 needs revision)
Reading (a) is most plausible — Ingham Coryell's book traces Coryell descendants but daughters who married Cooper men would appear as "(Coryell daughter) m. (Cooper husband)" in their parents' family entries; absence of any such Cooper-husband mention means no documented Coryell-daughter-to-Cooper-male marriage in 4 generations. Reading (b) is possible since Ingham Coryell explicitly says "Little accurate or connected genealogical material has been found to cover what was probably two or three, if not four, early generations of Coriells in New Jersey." Reading (c) is the most parsimonious response — the brother-in-law mechanism via Coryell-daughter-marrying-Cooper-male doesn't have positive evidence and can't be assumed.
3. Catalog correction — Honeyman's "six children" reconciled with 7 total
A.18 Honeyman 1745 will abstract reads "Estate to wife and six children." Ingham Coryell p. 9 lists 7 total. Reconciliation: at will-writing Jan 1745, William 1736 (= died young, exact death date unknown but per Honeyman not in 1745) and Nellie 1740 (= died young, exact death unknown) were either alive or recently deceased. If both alive at 1745: 7 children. If one had died young before 1745: 6 children. The Honeyman "six children" supports William 1736 having died before 1745, with Nellie 1740 still alive at will-writing (but d. young thereafter, baptized 1 Jun 1740 per F.67 and known to have died young per Ingham). Or alternatively both alive in 1745 and Honeyman miscounted — but Honeyman is normally accurate on counts.
4. Catalog correction — Emanuel's death date 1749 (not pre-Sept-1758 as L.31 docx implied)
Ingham Coryell p. 8: "Emanuel Coryell operated the Ferry and the Inn, or Ferry House, until his death in 1749." Honeyman per A.18: will written 2 Jan 1745, proved 23 Jan 1748-9 (= 23 Jan 1749 in modern dating per the British calendar reform). Death therefore between 2 Jan 1745 and 23 Jan 1749, most likely close to the latter date. L.31 v143 docx text implied "active 1727-1758" which conflated Emanuel's lifespan with the 1758 guardianship of his orphans. Corrected: Emanuel active 1727-1748/9; orphans Abraham + Sarah placed under guardianship 1758 = ~9-10 years after father's death (mother Sarah Tunison Coryell may have died ~1758, prompting the guardianship transition).
5. Three of Emanuel's brothers — Catrynte Van Court is the only Van Court spouse
Per Ingham Coryell foundational chart: of Emanuel's 3 brothers (David, Abraham Jr, Samuel), only Abraham Jr m. Catrynte Van Court = a Van Court woman. David m. Elsie Slecht (NOT Van Court — Santos's I.44 Page 43 alternate "Van Court" reading is incorrect per Ingham's primary read). Samuel's wife not named here (= consistent with A.19/I.44 page 170 Santos's note "Samuel's wife may have been a Van Court").
So the Coryell-Van-Court intermarriage cluster runs through Abraham Jr (the brother who didn't operate the Lambertville ferry) and possibly Samuel (the brother who married into Bridgewater Somerset Co.) — NOT through Emanuel.
This refines the catalog framing: if "brother Immanuel" = Emanuel via 18th-c.-loose "brother" usage, the kinship-by-marriage tie isn't through Emanuel directly. The Van Court bridge mechanism (Theory 5) operates one removed at the Coryell-side cousin level — Anne Cooper Van Court (Daniel Sr's sister, A.12) → her sister-in-law's family (= Catrynte Van Court's parents) → Abraham Jr Coryell → Abraham Jr's brother Emanuel.
That's 3-removes-by-marriage. The "brother" usage at 3-removes is loose but not impossible in 18th-c. NJ Dutch family-tradition context.

Moore's 3rd wife after Martha's death (2 children); Joseph 3-27 m. Susanna Conrad (3 daughters only = Y-line dead-end); Abraham 3-28 m. (1) Elizabeth McPherson (3 children) (2) Mary Highland (8 children) = 11 children total Gen 4; Elizabeth 3-29 born 1777 = no further info. Note: 3-24 Sarah Coryell does NOT appear in the volume (Ingham's Gen-3 numbering for Abraham 2-5's branch jumps from 3-23 George to 3-25 Martha = 3-24 was likely the John 3-22 prison-ship-killed son's positional placeholder OR Ingham skipped a numbered slot for an enumeration-error reason; not resolved here). NO Sarah-2-7-Atkinson-or-Ely-sub-children appear on these final pages either.
- PRIORITY 3: Pull The Bergen Family (Teunis G. Bergen 1876) p. 75 in full — Sarah Tunison Parentage screenshot is partial; full page would give Cornelius Teunissen's Long Island parentage + spouse + sibling network = test whether Tunison family had any Cooper connection
- PRIORITY 4: Compare Ingham Coryell + Carile Santos catalogs of Abraham Jr × Catrynte Van Court — Ingham says 4 children; Santos page 6 shows 4 children with discrepancy on 1737/8 vs 1757/8 baptism year = needs reconciliation
