Seeking more data on two Emerick's, who may have been brothers, intermarried with Seyler. George Emerick, born ca 1803. Mother may have been Elizabeth.  Married Elizabeth Seyler and they lived in Centre Co., PA. David Emerick, born unknown, died ca 1828. Mother may have been Elizabeth.  Married Lydia Seyler and they lived in Centre Co., PA.
I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help me with these families. Thank you - Barb Seyler

Searching for information on Edward Jacob Emrich. The only information I have is that he married Maud P. Philips June 27, 1886 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Had a daughter named Estella Alice Emrich. Any information would be appreciated. - Diane Caylor

27Mar1999 - The Bassman Family
Canadian Emerick search:
Matthius Emerick,was born in 1772 somewhere in New York state and died April 12,1853 buried in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. He supposedly came to Canada in 1801. Johann Matthias Emmerich (b.1720) could be the Father of my Matthius??? He would have been 52 when my Matthius was born.
Child of Matthius (b.1722) & Mary (b.1779, d.1899) (unknown) Emerick:
John Emerick born 1814 or 1819. Date of death unknown, married Susan (?) (b.1815, d.20 Oct.1853.)
CHILDREN:
Ransford Emerick married a Taggert
Cecillia Emerick
John jr. (1847-1942)
Mary Emerick
Thomas L. married a Taggert
Robert W. (1841-1908) married a Nicholson (Nickolson)
Have good records for descendants of Robert W. Some later names that are found in the family line (all Emerick) are: Thomas (several times),Harold, Jack, Wilfred, Hilton, Reid and Robert (several times).
The female names are Mary, Jean, Clare, Ruth, Helen, Audrey, Kay, Aileen, Marion, Vida and Harriet to name a few. Any of these names jog a memory of someone?? My cousins and I are getting pretty discouraged about linking our tree to other Emerick's in Ontario. We were told the family originated in Pennsylvania but so far have had no luck. Our branch of the family are from Muskoka, (Port Carling) and Northern Ontario. Please email to: [email protected]

Benjamin Franklin, son of Cain and Margaret Emerick, was born in October,1852 in PA.
He married Tamson Webner in 1872. She was born in April 1854.

My Mother is 70 years of age and knows nothing about her family. I have just started to research for her. Her mother is Hilda P. and she married William Henry Overdorf in Sunbury, PA.
