John R. Coryell dating history

Details

John Russell Coryell (December 15, 1851, New York City – July 15, 1924, Readfield, Maine, age 72) was a prolific dime novel author. He wrote under the Nicholas Carter and Bertha M. Clay house pseudonyms, and, like many of his fellow dime novelists under many other pseudonyms, including Tyman Currio, Lillian R. Drayton, Julia Edwards, Geraldine Fleming, Margaret Grant, Barbara Howard, Harry Dubois Milman, Milton Quarterly, and Lucy May Russell. Other pseudonyms, like John C. Russell who the "Spike Malone" stories for Munsey's Railroad Man's Magazine from 1909–17, are probable Coryell masks but to this day have not been verified.
