For some of you the William Searle/Sorrell information is not pertinent, but I'll let you make that decision.
As I mentioned in our phone conversation Leigh, many people from Cornwall England came to Durham County in the 1830s, the census records would seem to support that time frame as a date of arrival for William Searle/Sorrell. He first appears on the census in 1836 (ie as a property holder - he was undoubtedly here a year or two prior to that time.)
Hope Twp Census/Assessments 1836 to 1851
Searle William 2m 1f 2mc 5fc = 10 - 1836
Surrel William 2m 1f 2mc 5fc = 10 - 1837
Surrel William 2m 1f 1mc 4fc = 8 - 1838
Surrel William 2m 1f 2mc 3fc = 8 - 1839
Surrel William 2m 2f 2mc 5fc = 11 - 1840
Surrel William 1m 2f 2mc 5fc = 10 - 1841
Sorrel William Farmer 10 in household
Lot 32 Hope Twp - 1848
(This was a Crown Grant in 1808 to Sarah Smith-Shuter, d/o one of the three 1793 Patentees of Hope Twp, Capt Elias Smith Sr, U.E. Sarah married a landed gentry gentleman by the name of John Shuter of England and they lived in England at Hocumb House, the Shuter ancestral home, until her death in 1854.)
Sarl Alic 2 in household - 1851
By 1860 William is Wisconsin, married to a lady 9 yrs older than he was, and she said she was born in Connecticut. Alice in 1851 is still in Hope Twp, no other Searle's, Surrels, Sorrels or Sarls recorded between 1799 to 1851, just William and Alice - so there's no doubt that this is the family of Phoebe Searle/Sorrell. As William was not in Hope Twp in 1851, he may already have made the move to the western territories of the USA - searching the 1850 census for him might be worthwhile.
Nathaniel Abbey lived on Lot 27 Con 2 of Hope Twp from about 1806 until his death in 1825/26 and his family continued to live there until about 1848 or so. As you can see, only four farms (about a mile) separated the Abbey and Searle/Sorrell homes.
