Story:
View of the Manor Church of the Brethren and cemetery from the Emmert Graveyard on the hill above. John Leonard and John Emmert, father and son, were instrumental in establishing this branch of the church in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Their heirs also provided the land out of their farm holdings for the current church. © Phillip A. White, JD



Will:
"His father, John Leonard Emmert, made a will and appointed hi sons, Benjamin, John, Leonard and Michael as his executors. John appeared with his brothers to probate the will and duly acknowledge the will as the one prepared by their father, but he filed for record on the same day. September 9, 1084, a seperate bill setting forth reasons why he could not act as one of the executors. Some of the John Leonard descendants, writing about the incident have stated that John Emmert was a Dunker preacher, and have left the impression that he was obstinate in spirit, but such was not teh case. He knew the intent of his good father and John Emmert in his deep spiritual conviction could not agree to settle the estate on any other basis than what he felt was his father's true will and intent, for the will was rather flexible and open to various interpretations.

The will was a rather remarkable instrument in many ways. It designated that each child was to have a Bible but did not set the value, and that was one of the points of disagreement. There were other matters on which the heirs could not agree. One claue in the will stated that Joseph, Leonard, and John were to have a row of apple trees for a space of seven years but the will did not say which row was to fo to each child. That provision gave room for showing a spirit of selfishness and John declined to be drawn into any controversy which would hinder his work as a minister."

John married Catherine Gunkle on 1 Apr 1771 in Jackson Township, Berks, Pennsylvania, United States [Trinity Tulpehocken Reformed Congregation]. Catherine (daughter of Johann Michael Gunkle and Anna Margaret Lorentz) was born in May 1757 in Heidelberg Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States; died in 1805.
