David Fisher Emry came to this county, bringing a family of 5 children, Oct. 16, 1834.
His children were Azillah, David F., Matilda, Henry and Amelia. (children born in Illinois= John, Frederick W., Sarah, Lucretia) Edith Fisher was his wife. She was born near Philadelphia, Pa., and was married in the year 1800. Mr. E. was of German, and his wife of German-English descent.
Their son David F., who is today, as he has been for many years, prominently identified in the history of the county, resides in this township and is engaged in farming. He is one of the oldest surveyors in the county, and perhaps none have surveyed more land than he. He takes especial pains and pride in preserving statistics, etc., and had a most valuable collection in his residence when it took fire and burned to the ground. The family was away from home at the time. He is a pleasing writer, and a good logician. He is identified with the Fulton County Fair Association at present. (History of Fulton County, C. C. Chapman, 1879, page 549, Canton Township section, submitted by Danni Hopkins)
