History: The earliest record of the name in North America is of Abraham Coriell, in Piscataway, NJ, in 1702. Family tradition says that he was a Huguenot from France, who fled to the Netherlands in 1685 and subsequently made his way to North America. However, his name is not listed in the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors, nor in the similar register of the Huguenot Society of America.
