Lebanon Township, Hunterdon Co., N.J. The record of his birth and baptism appear in the "Kirchan: Buch fur die
Rackewyler Evangelisch Reformists Gemeine", i.e. the Evangelical Reformed German Church of Lebanon, Clinton
Township, Hunterdon Co., N.J., as the son of Johannes Humerich and wife, Maria, and the baptism was witnessed by Mathias Beker and Maria Sauer. He was born April 10, 1775, and was baptised May 27, 1775.
Joseph Emery was married May 11, 1795, in Northumberland Co., Pa., to Hannah Hull, born February 15, 1781, in New

Commonly known as "Trapper Joseph", he came with his father in 1807 to what is now Lawrence Co., Pa., where he
engaged in farming and trapping, being one of the well-known hunters of pioneer days. He settled in Slippery Rock Township, Mercer Co., Pa., where he died February 5, 1848. Hannah died February 17, 1852, aged 71 years and 2 days. Both are buried in the Presbyterian Church Cemetery at Plaingrove, Pa.
In his will, Joseph signs his name "Joseph Emry", the spelling which also appears on his military service record."
The Plain Grove Presbyterian Cemetery book states that Joseph Emery was a Private of the 26th Regiment of the
Pennsylvania Militia from July to August 1813 during the War of 1812.
