Misc. Notes
The first name in America of which there is a public record, was Abraham Coriell of Piscataway, New Jersey, in 1702.
Abraham Coriell was a Freeholder in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey, in 1702. His name with others is from the East Jersey Records through the Elizabethtown Bill in Chancery.
The first public record of him is in the Piscataway Township Record and the name is spelled Corriell. Abraham Coriell's mark for "Cattel, Horses and Hoogs is three slits in ye right ear. One in ye tope of ye ear and a slit on each side. Entered this first day of September, 1702. (signed) Edmund Slater, TownClerke."
There is a lot of conflicting information about the origin of Abraham Coriell. He is first recorded in Piscataway, New Jersey, in 1702 (record of cattle ear mark). Family records say they were Huguenot who escaped from Orleans, France to Holland Oct. 22, 1685. French name said to be Querelle. "He probably came with Scotch and English emigrants who landed at Amboy and moved to Raritan in early 1700s."
Another reports says Corriel brothers (Eliam Emanual, David, and perhaps Abraham) came to America from Corsica in 1663. Abraham and David are both listed in records from Piscataway NJ in 1663.
Abraham may have been married to a Agnes McCourt (also sp. Annetje or Catryntje Van Der Court)
Some think the Coriell family is French in origin, some say Dutch.
Birth dates for Abraham range from 1660 to 1685. Perhaps there could be two - one father and one son both named Abraham.
