Daniel Pierce, living on the next plantation to Elias Coryell, gives notice that a large number of sheep bearing different marks came to his place. The owners may claim their property by paying charges. Long Hill, Morris County, July 2, 1793.

What this attests

This 1793 newspaper notice independently corroborates Elias Coryell's residence on Long Hill, Morris County, NJ at primary-source level. The notice is dated 2 July 1793, two years before Daniel Cooper Sr.'s death (2 May 1795), placing both Daniel Sr (= testator at Long Hill) and Elias Coryell (= named executor of Daniel Sr's 1791 will per A.8) on the same Long Hill landscape concurrently.

Combined with I.44 Carile Santos Coriell-Coryell Family p. 66 (Elias Coryell "Settled on Long Hill on Lot of Berkeley Tract adjoining Solomon Boyle's tract") and I.4 Littell p. 90 (Daniel Cooper Sr "bought lot No. 2 of the Berkeley tract, containing 500 acres, lying east of and adjoining the quarter owned by Jacob Carle"), the catalog now has multi-source consilience that Daniel Sr and Elias Coryell were Berkeley-tract Long Hill neighbors c. 1782-1795.

Catalog implications

• ** Strengthens A.8's "Elias Coriell of Morris County" executor naming** — primary-source-newspaper-attested as a real Long Hill resident in 1793, two years before Daniel Sr's 1795 death = age-consistent + place-consistent with serving as executor.
• ** NEW neighbor: Daniel Pierce** — added to the Long Hill / Berkeley Tract neighborhood roster. Daniel Pierce is not currently in the Cooper-line catalog; surfaces here as primary-source neighbor of Coryell + Cooper.
• ** The Cooper-Coriell Long Hill social tie is now primary-source corroborated at three independent levels: (a) Daniel Sr's 1791 will naming Elias Coriell executor; (b) Carile Santos genealogy placing Elias on Long Hill Berkeley Tract; (c) this 1793 newspaper notice. High primary-source weight for the Cooper-Coriell-as-neighbor claim**.

Open follow-ups

• Pull Wilson Vol. III 1791-1795 full Cooper-name + Coriell-name index sweep (this entry captures only one notice; other Cooper / Coriell / Van Court / Runyon notices in the same volume may exist)
• Investigate Daniel Pierce of Long Hill — was he a Cooper-family connection? Pierce-Cooper marriages or witness relationships in the Long Hill / Morris Co. record may surface him.
• Investigate the Pierce-Coryell-Cooper-Boyle neighborhood arrangement on the Berkeley Tract — deed records 1782-1795 should map property adjacency precisely
