Coryell. He was born near West Union on Feb. 22, 1830, the s/o Salathiel Coryell and Nancy Holmes. His father was born in Mason Co., KY and located in Adams Co. in 1801. The Coryell family came from New Jersey. He was married first to Mary McGranahan and they had 3 children, Lydia, Nancy and W.C. Coryell, who was a well-known attorney. James' wife died in 1866, and he married secondly to Mrs. Hannah McFerran, widow of Major John W. McFerran, who died in the Civil War. James was a school teacher, auditor, Justice of the Peace, surveyor, Probate Judge, Adams County's State Representative, in that order. I'm sorry I don't have the info you're looking for in front of me. If I come across anything, I'll be sure to post it.
