Born 1753 in South Carolina and died after 1850 in Coosa County, Ala. The name of Joseph Embie appears on the February 3, 1804, Oglethorpe County, Ga., lottery list as a Revolutionary soldier. This list is in the Ordinary's office of the county. The name of Joseph Embrey, R.S., appears on the Land Lottery List, 1827, as residing in Holloway's District, Oglethorpe County, Ga. The Talladega County, Ala., census of 1840 lists him as having in his household only himself, aged between eighty and ninety. The Coosa County, Ala., census of 1850 lists him as age ninety-seven, born in South Carolina, and in the household of Joseph Tuck, age forty-six, born in Virginia, and Safrah Tuck, aged forty, born in Georgia. The inference to be drawn is that Joseph Embry was the father of Sarah Tuck. In the old Shiloh Baptist Churchyard Cemetery, about eight miles west of Alexander City, on the old Alexander City-Nixburg road we find the following inscriptions:
Sacred
to the Memory of
Sarah
Consort of
Joseph Tuck
and mother of
Mary S. Thoma
s who was born
January 17, 1810
and died
August 31, 1857;
and Sacred to the Memory of
Mary S.
Consort of
A. J. Thomas,
and daughter of
Joseph and Sarah Tuck
who was born
March 8, 1828
and died
June 18, 1863.
There is no monument over Joseph Tuck. In the same rock wall inclosure there is another grave with native stones stacked rooflife which is probably the grave of Joseph Embrey.
