I am on a quest to find more information on my g, g, g, grandfather and his parents.
His name was Mathew Emerson.
Born in England, March 16, 1803
(It is has been said that his Emerson family line came from London but this info has been handed down. It was also mentioned that he was disowned when he married Sarah Wiles)
Died: August 15, 1841 or 1842 in Dekalb, St. Lawrence County, New York.
He was married to Sarah (Wiles).
I do know Mathew and Sarah were married August 19, at St. Andrew’s Church in Bonby, England but no parents listed.
Mathew and Sarah's
Children:
Isaac born December 7, 1827 in England
George born 1829 in England-died crossing Atlantic
Elizabeth Ann born March 17, 1832 Morristown, NY
George born August 6, 1834 Morristown, NY
Thomas Dodge born 1836, Morristown or Dekalb, NY
James born March 28, 1839, Dekalb, NY
Martha Jane born August 29, 1841, Dekalb, NY
Our Emerson family line is well documented here stateside but I am running into a very stiff wall trying to reach back into England.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
