Steuben, Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin, Baron von, 1730-1794. JOHN CORYELL. John Coryell was born in New Jersey, April 27,1796. He was son of David and Charity Coryell, who were natives of the same place. The name Coryell is of French origin. His mother^s ancestors came from Hol- land. His father removed with his family to Seneca Co., N. Y., 1802, where they resided until 1812, and settled in the town of Pulteney, Steuben Co. John is third son of a family of ten children, and he and Andrew, who resides in Michigan, are the only surviving ones. He was reared on a farm, and early learned habits of industry and economy, having limited opportunities for an education.

Soon after his marriage he purchased a portion of the land that his father had bought of the Pulteney estate, and continued to reside on this farm until 1843, when he removed to his present residence. Their children are William; Andrew; John; Mrs. John Garner, of White Lake, Mich.; David; Mrs. Josiah Nevyns, of Pulteney; Josiah; George; Joseph, killed in the army, near Fredericksburg, during the late Rebellion; Mrs. Andrew Dunlap (deceased), of Clinton Co., Mich.

He has been a member of the
