Note: While using ANY genealogical website or program...please be informed that ANY possible family connections are NOT valid until they can be verified with documentation.
Scope of Project is To build a single, validated and documented shared family tree the goals being:
•1) to create on Geni an accurate representation of the genealogical information
•2) to clean up duplicates and ensure quality of the involved profiles
•3) to sort out the lines and connect the different lines
•4) RULE - All profiles marked PUBLIC - with me as the controling manager ARE NOT TO BE CHANGED TO PRIVATE under any circumstances. UNLESS YOU ARE THE Living profile person and ASK for control of your profile - I have choosen to leave any profile I feel to be LIVIING blank of all data - birth, marriage etc. = only those of DECEASED status will contain data IF known
PLEASE please feel free to start seperate discussion on this family - from this project as to your ideas, infromation found; Also if you find doucmentation PLEASE wneter it under the apporiate profile in the ABOUT section tab or even upload the document and cite it as to the connection NAME, BIRTH, CHRISTENING, DEATH, BURIAL.
There were at least 3 more un-connected profiles of him on geni - they are;

A) There is a KNOWN tie to a child of Jonathan and Jerusha. David their son served in Morristown as one of Washington's body guards. He was there during the same time period Jacob showed up. He was discharged from service there.
The identity of George and Johannah as the parents of Jacob Emery is based mainly on information found in a hand written copy of Jacob Emery's bible record, furnished by Wilma C. Myrehn; a very interesting note here is that Theresa Marie Emery Armiger spoke to Wilma Meyrhen on 15 Jul 2012 she told her that:
'She does not have, nor has she seen a copy of any Emery bible --- Why does someone have to manufacture, give and perpetuate false documentation; and involve another person in the process????? - some of this false information has been going around for 30+ years now!
He shows up in NJ in about 1778. I have spoken to the town historian of Sandsyston, NJ. Patte Frato, historian of Sandyston, NJ thinks it may be possible that he came there just after the war with a friend, Even Beavens. Theresa has researched cemeteries in the area and there are no Emerys before Jacob arrived. There are no documents supporting this.
IF Jonathan Emery and Jershua Barron are the parents of Jacob Emery of Sussex
county New Jersey are :
'''Answer) They did not. It is very likely that Jacob's service took him there, as a soldier.'''
*2) I Jacob Emery of Sussex county New jersey is the son of Jonathan Emery and Jersusha Barron - then WHY did they choose to abandoned this chiild in Sussex county New Jersey - - keeping the remainder of their children and returning to Massachusetts or maine?
Answer) They did not. There is no proof of his place of birth. He may have shown up in N.J. during the war. David Emery son of Jonathan served there in the war and returned. Jacob married Elizabeth Ross of Morristown and probably stayed behind to raise a family. "Maybe"
****1 )Above statements about Jacob being born in Sussex county ARE NOT PROVEN and no one is claiming he was born there. The most logical reason is that he showed up in Jersey during the Revolutionary War. Morristown was the headquarters of George Washington. David Emery and Ambrose Emery both served there in that time period.
Children of of Jonathan Emery and Jershua Barron birth dates and places were:

AND NOTE THE ONLY PROBLEM with this entry is that James Emery son of Jonathan Emery & Mary Woodman who married Ruth Watson and was of Newbury, Haverhill and went to Darcut DID NOT HAVE A SON NAMED JACOB This may be because many churches were burned during the Revolutionary War and were destroyed. - his family data is below -

The name Jacob - does not run in Jersuha's branch of Barron's nor does it run in the branch of Jonathan's Emery's as briefly seen above
NOTE:
I am a proven descendant of Jacob Emery of Sussex county New Jersey. I have taken the Ancestry DNA test. My heritage is 70% English, 20% Irish and less than 10 % German.
I performed a search of my 60,000 + DNA matches and in that search used the criteria SURNAMES IN MATCHES TREES I entered the name Barron In the space PLACE OF BIRTH I entered Massachusetts, USA.
The result I got was many matches to trees with the Family of Jerusha Barron in them. I researched each eliminating any that may have other connections such as a maternal match or to any other surnames in my tree. I did not count those that had Jacob in them because I deemed them contaminated by false trees of his. I know that this is using Autosomal DNA but the numbers were to the quantity that makes me wonder. I know it is not proof. Just one more clue.
I traced my Harris tree back and there is no connection to Lydia Barron. Although I do have 1 match to Lydia when searching the name Harris but I have no others to the Harris family that she married into. So saying my connection to the Barron family may come from Lydias husband is a stretch and also misleading since I have many matches to the Barrons of Dracut Mass. and none to Harris family except through Lydia. If that person has proof show it...Frank Emery
NOTE: Since I have made the above statement I have taken the Y-DNA test with Family Tree and have an Emery match who is related to a George Emery 1789 of Dedham Mass. Getting closer...Frank Emery
Note:
NOTE: statement has been made about the DNA matching " All my matches I used were not of the Jacob Emery Line. I tossed them out because their trees are contaminated. Most did not have Jonathan in them. All my Barrons were dated back to early family and were direct family to Jerusha. ... I mean most of the Barron matches didn't have Jonathan in them." The lineage in question is:

Descendants of George Emery
First Generation
1. George1 Emery(1) birth date unknown. He married Johannah.
George Emery and Johannah had the following child:
+ 2 i. Jacob2 Emery was born October 11, 1759.(2)
Second Generation
2. Jacob2 Emery (George1)(3) was born in Sussex or Essex Co, NJ October 11, 1759.(4)
Jacob may have been born in Morris Co, NJ. His birth date is recorded as 1760 in a copy of a family bible according to the notes of Calvin Emery. According to Barbara Hoskins, he was probably born in Essex County, NJ. Jacob died April 21, 1824 in Sussex Co, NJ, at 64 years of age.(5)
According to Calvin Emery's notes, "Sussex Co Records, GD p 85. Transfer from George Emery and wife to Wm Myers, for wife Mary, dau of Jacob Emery, dec, says he was "of Delaware, Pike Co, PA" Letter from John Biles says he died in Sandyston Township, near where he is buried."
His body was interred in Sandyston Twp., Sussex Co, NJ, Mettler Cemetery.(6)
He married twice. He married Elizabeth Ross March 2, 1778.(7) Elizabeth was born in Probably Morris Co, NJ October 5, 1761.(8)
According to information copied by Calvin Emery from Jacob Emery's Bible by his son, David, Elizabeth was born on 5 September 1763. She was the daughter of David Ross and Experience. Elizabeth died April 15, 1815 in Sussex Co, NJ, at 53 years of age.(9) Her body was interred in Sandyston Twp., Sussex Co, NJ, Mettler Cemetery.(10)
He married Mary Rupert in Newton, Sussex Co, NJ, September 25, 1817.(11) Marriage date of Mary and Jacob is according to the Court Records, Newton, Sussex Co, NJ, BAP 207. Mary Rupert was married by Rev. Joseph Campbell. She may have remarried soon after Jacob Emery's death. According to the land records (Bk D3, page 84, April 4, 1825), Mary Shay, formerly Mary Emery, of Sandyston, Sussex County, transferred lands formerly belonging to Jacob Emery, to Joseph Fleming (husband of Elizabeth Shay, grandaughter of Jacob Emery).
Mary is listed as "Mary Rubert" in the Case book of marriages. Jacob married Elizabeth Ross first, and Mary Rupert second.
Jacob's parents are George and Johannah Emery. (according to the notes of Calvin Emery). Calvin was incorrect.
Jacob's inventory of his estate was recorded in the Sussex County Records in PB 1824 on page 01772. His inventory was taken on April 30, 1824 and proved on April 30, 1824. The administrators were Luther Clark and Jonathan Emery. The appraisers were John Layton and Aaron Clark.
Jacob was a soldier. He served in the War of Revolution and possibley the War of 1812. According to the PA Archives, page 411, 428, New Jersey Men who served in the War with Great Britain, 1812-1815, page 83. "Emery, Jacob. Served as a private in Morris Co., N.J. militia (S-584) Probably born in Essex Co.; he and his wife Elizabeth baptized in and became members of First Presbyterian Church, Morristown, N.J., 1782." (See, "Men from Morris Co, NJ who served in the American Revolution", compiled by Barbara Hoskins, published by the library of Morristown, NJ, (1979), page 63.) Jacob saw service in the War of Revolution from 1778-1781 in Capt. Alexander Forseman's company, Col. Jacob Stroud's PA Regt, and in the Morris Co, NJ Militia. (It is possible he served in the War of 1812 as a Private in Capt. Alexander Reading's Company of Infantry, Second Regt NJ Detailed Militia, Sussex Co, from Sept. 8, 1814 to Dec. 5, 1814 - although this would mean he was well into his fifties when he enlisted.)
States an historical talk starting with the arrival in America of John Emery from England and outlining the activities of the emery family to the present -
On 15 June 1913 [John A. Biles] took dinner with Hannah Higley, (Hannah Elizabeth "Eliza" Higley) a daughter of Nathan Emery, a cabinetmaker and undertaker, son of Jacob Emery, Silver Lake, Pennsylvania. Being her 87th birthday in company of Nathan Emery and family. She thinks that Irvine Emery of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has the Nathan Emery family Bible and records. Her grandfather, Jacob Emery, lived near Centerville, N.J. Mrs. Higley was in Florida from 1875 to 1902. Tradition as told by Mrs. Higley: three Emery brothers came from England, one of them died on the way. She thinks her grandfather was one of them. He gave the lot at Centerville for a Church - also a mortgage of $1,000 on the James Decker farm, the interest to support the church and to use 100 years.
Fact we do know that John and Anthony Emery (brothers) came to America together with their families. On the Ship James in 1635 the list per Emery's here - http://www.emery.research.pasttracker.com/john-anthony_000preface/p....
The above story of Hanna (Emery) Higley is very plausible. She lived in Grand Rapids at the time that Ervine Emery did. Being a granddaughter of Jacob the story she told would be less likely to have changed in just 2 generations. It would explain why there are no birth records for Jacob. So possibly Jacob migrated here in the 1760's. .
It is said that George Emery was born 1609 in Romsey, Hampshire, England.m. _ He died 20 Feb 1686/7 in Salem, Essex, Massachusetts. Apparently, their brother, George, born 1609, who came to America in 1636, married a lady named Mary but I can't find any record of them having children. They are both buried in Salem, Mass He is accounted for in that:Other Salem physicans were George Emery who settled in the town in 1636 and sat on the gallows with a rope around his neck in 1668, for an unnatural crime. Everyday Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony (1935, Reprint 1988) Dover Publishers, NY. George Francis Dow. The following entry from the records of Rev. S. Danforth of Roxbury, Ma. for the date 5 Sep. 1668, recorded in New England Historic Genealogical Register (1880, 34:299) probably refers to the incident and implies the crime. One of Salem was Executed for murdering her child born in fornication. Doctor Emery & ye mother of ye woman sat upon ye Gallows an Hour. Quarterly Courts of Essex co. Massachusetts Vol. 1- VIII Essex Institute, Salem, Ma. 1911-21 is found that he was punished for public drunkeness a least eight times between 1667 and 1674 and forcursing and swearing in 1679.
