Joseph Emerick (b. 29 Aug 1825, d. 4Dec1887) married Rachel (b. 17Apr1826, d. 14 Jul 1885). Need surname of Rachel and any other info pertaining to this family. Their children were:

Jacob Emerick (b.13May1810 - d.1891) married Magdalene Mock (1827-1913) on 9 Oct 1845 in Pleasantville, Bedford Co., PA. They are both buried in the Pleasantville Cemetary,St. Clair Twp. We believe that he was born in Germany and then moved to USA - maybe via Baltimore, MD.

John Emerick born Dec. 2, 1823 in York PA. m. Sarah Walker Sleek.
Jacob m. Magdaline Mock is possibly Johns brother but we do not have any verification.
The notes indicate that there is a Baltimore connection. There is also supposed to be a large family reunion that people from Baltimore would attend in Bedford.

Notes: "Jacob & Maria Magdaline Mock came from Wurm, Germany with daus. Fredrica, Harriett & Susan.
Susan died at sea. Another daughter Mary was born at sea. They landed in Baltimore, MD.
Three sons born 1810 -1891?
Henry died in adolescence 17yrs.

Seems as though the boys came on to Bedford Co. The 3 girls married in Baltimore, MD.
Harriet married Charles Vonieff
Fredericka married George Platt
Jacob & Marie seem to have gone to York, PA., buried in Lutheran Church, York. Probably died around 1826"
