      Viz.:
      George Emmert, Sept. 15, 1751
      Eva Maria Emmert, Sept 15, 1751

      MILITARY: When the Colonies were muttering revold the colon ial governor of pennsylvania required an oath of allegiance . On May 29, 1777, George F. Emmert took the oath as follo ws:

Emmert Family

The Emmerts hail from Germany initially, but the specific city and region are in debate. What is certain is that (our line) immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1732 and remained there until migrating to the mid-west. Another possible branch ended up in Tennessee, but the exact relation is unknown.

Other key families related to the Emmerts are:

Bentall - Wagoner - Stevens - Craft

Tipton Family

The Tiptons are long-time residents of Kentucky and only recently moved north into Ohio. Their origins are likely from England in the mid 18th century, but an exact date is unknown. Jonathan Tipton (b. 1750) was possibly the one who immigrated.

Friend - Grieshop - Rison - Blevins
