The record indicates he married his first wife, Mary Garrison, on 15 August 1877, and his second wife, Rosa Belle Walsh, on 6 February 1883. The record names his siblings Lillie, Willie, Mary, and Ada, and provides links to his parents, Walter F. Coryell and Mary Ann Slocum Coryell, his sister Ada, and his wife Rosa.
