Many of the early Everett families lived in East Harling, Norfolk, England. They were landed gentry who lived in Norfolk, England and were mainly Quakers.
The 1839 Directory of Norfolk has the following description of the town:
East Harling or Market Harling is a small market town and parish in the hundred of Guiltcross, 90 miles NE by N from London, 22 SW from Norwich and 9 NE from Thetford. It is a neat little town seated on the banks of a rivulet, which adds its waters to the river Waveney and was once famous for the manufacture and sale of yarn and linen cloth. At present it is destitute of trade, except that derived from the produce of the land, which is fertile.
The church, dedicated to St Peter and St. Paul has a square embattled tower, surmounted by a spire. The parish contained in 1831, 1031 inhabitants.
The 1883 Directory states that the Friends' Meeting House, erected in 1823 has a small burial ground and a vault of the Everetts.
