John Correll was enumerated in 1790, as were a Jacob Correll, Adam Correll, and Peter Corl:
1790 US Census, Salisbury District, Rowan County, NC

Peter Corl 1mo16, 2mu16, 4f [Dutch Second Creek]
John, along with wife Mary, sold the first tract in 1793 to Jacob Castor Sr (5).
The Rowan County Corrells were prominent in the organization of Mt. Zion German Reformed Church between China Grove and Landis in Rowan County. But the family of John Correll became tied up with Liberty Methodist Church in their community (a church seemingly situated on their land). As Mary Correll Keever's children grew up, every one of them became members and usually they were among the leaders. Jacob Keever's name does not appear on the rolls until just before he left with his son for Arkansas. During his wife Mary's life he may have belonged to a German church of some kind. The Corrells continued in the area for some time, but as with many families, they eventually went to other parts of our country in search of the elusive "better life." http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sroots/ncmartin.htm

gregation. The following is a translation from the records of the church-book, and
in the translation the German orthography of names is preserved, and the present
English orthography thrown in parentheses.
TRANSLATION
In the year A.D. 1774, the following members of our congregation commenced to
build the so-called Organ Church, viz.:
Georg Ludwig Siffert (George Lewis Sifford), Wendel Miller, Peter Edelmann
(Eddleman), Johannes Steigerwalt (John Stirewait), Philip Gruss (Philip Cruse),
Peter Steigerwalt (Stirewalt), Michael Guthmann (Goodman), Christoph Bless
(Christopher Pleas), Leonhard Siffert (Sifford), Jacob Klein (Cline), Anton J. Kuhn
(Anthony J. Koon), Georg Heinrich Berger (George Henry Barger), Christoph
Guthmann (Christopher Goodman) Johannes Rintelmann (John Rendleman),
Johannes Eckel (John Eagle), Bastian Lenz (Bostian Lentz), Jacob Benz (Bentz),
George Eckel (George Eagle), Franz Oberkirsch (Francis Overcash), Johannes Jose
(John Josey), Heinrich Wenzel (Henry).
A majority of the aforementioned members united in the year 1772, and resolved
to solicit for themselves a preacher and schoolteacher from the Hanoverian
Consistory in Germany. For in their time, North Carolina, together with all the
other now free American States, were under the King of England, who was
likewise Elector of Hanover. Christoph Rintelmann (Christopher Rendleman) and
Christoph Layrle (Christopher Lyerly), were sent to London as deputies from the
congregation, from which place they journeyed to Hanover, and through Gotten,
the counselor of the Consistory, obtained a preacher and school-teacher, viz.: as
preacher, Adolph Nussmann; and for school-teacher, Gottfried Ahrend. Both
arrived safely in America in the year 1773. At this time there was but one common
church for Reformed and Lutherans equally, the so-called Hickeri (Hickory)
Church. One year the new pastor preached in this church, but some disharmony
arose, and a majority of the Lutherans resolved to build for themselves an own
church, and thus organized Organ Church. But before this church was built,
Nussman left the congregation and devoted himself to Buffalo Creek. Whereupon,
the congregation, which before had one church and one schoolteacher, but now no
preacher, procured the aforementioned Gottfried Ahrend to be ordained to the
office of preacher in the year 1775. He served the congregation until 1785, when
he devoted himself to Catawba River, residing in Lincoln County until the close of
his life. For two years Nussmann served the congregation again, but he left the church for the second time. From 1787 to 1788, the congregation had no
preacher. Gottfried Ahrend came once in a while. In 1788, at the desire and
petition of Nussmann, a preacher, viz.: Charles Augustus Gottlieb Storch, was sent
from Germany, who, according to Nussmann’s assignment, was to go to Stinking
Quarter, in Orange County. Various circumstances transpired that he did not wish
to go to Stinking Quarter, but resolved to take charge of the congregation at Organ
Church and the one in the town of Salisbury. He entered his services in the former
on the twenty-sixth day of October, 1787, i.e., the twenty-third Sunday after
Trinity; and in the town the second Sunday of November, i.e., the twenty-fourth
Sunday after Trinity in the same year. The congregation at Organ Church promised
their preacher a yearly salary of forty pounds (£4O), North Carolina currency http://boards.ancestry.netscape.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.rowan/12357.1.1.4.3/mb.ashx
