Abraham Emmons

  • Emans
  • Gender: Male
  • Birth: circa 1747 - Monmouth County, New Jersey

  • Son of Johannes Emans and Teuntje van Dyke

DAR listed children:

  1. Uriah Emmons m. Elizabeth Sanacoaol

Abraham S. Emmons in this profile parents should be John Emans and Teuntje Van Dyck. The parent listing was WRONG.

Updates:

1.Uriah Emans is NOT the son of Abraham Emmons Jr., son of Abraham Isaac Emmons and Margaret Tice, but instead the son of John Emans and Teuntje Van Dyck.

Uriah Emans is NOT named in Abraham Isaac Emmons Will, which is here: < AncestrySharing >

The Will for Abraham Isaac Emmons is the 1785, Oct. 15, Emens, Abraham, Sr. of Monmouth NOT the previous listing for the 1795, Oct. Oct. 21, Emans, Abraham of Hardwick. These Wills have been conflated with each other to the discredit of each Patriot. It is recommended to revise your geneaologies.

2. One of Abraham Emmons Jr.'s wives may have been Susannah Lawrence, Monmouth County Deeds Book M, page 339, dated January 12, 1801, because Abraham's wife had Dower rights to the land that he inherited from his father.

Disambiguation

There are three separate Abraham Emmons Patriots:

  • 1. Abraham Isaac Emmons m. Margaret Tice, served in First Regiment, New Jersey in 1780
  • 2. Abraham Emmons Jr., m. first wife Susannah Emmons then second wife, Sarah/Seytie Van Voorhies, who is the son of Abraham Isaac Emmons and Margaret Tice and whose siblings were John, Isaac, and Ann, served First Regiment New Jersey in 1781
  • 3. Abraham S Emmons, son of John Emans and Teuntje Van Dyck, m. Hannah Lane and whose child was Uriah Emans, served in Hunderton County Militia, New Jersey in 177.

It is appropriate that all three Patriots are recognized separately for their service to the country.
