The Coryell Family Tree

First Generation:

(1) Emanuel Coryell (1706 – 1749) & Sarah Tunison (1706 – )

The Somerset Quarterly published “Earliest American Ancestors of Somerset Families” in Vol. V p.188 et seq, which included this statement: “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.

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.
