Is anyone familiar with the Jacob EMONS (Emmons) who was working at Martha Furnace near Harrisville in Washington Township, in the 1800-1820 range? This Jacob EMONS' name appears in the Martha Furnace Diaries, a daybook written when the place was well in production. Martha Furnace Diaries: http://www.njpinelandsanddownjersey.com/open/index.php?module=documents&JAS_DocumentManager_op=categories&category=112 Martha Furnace was opened in 1793. In 1808 (when the daybook records become available), Jacob EMONS was working as a teamster for Martha Furnace, in Burlington County, NJ, which was south of Chatsworth and east of Hammonton Entries in the Martha Furnace daybook say that Jacob EMONS had a family. He must have been born at least by 1790, could have been much earlier. He was a Householder on Tax list, Martha Furnace, Washington Township, Burlington County, NJ, in 1809 and 1812. Jacob EMONS' sometime co-worker as Martha Furnace was Richard PHILLIPS (b. 1754), possibly the same as the father of Hannah PHILLIPS, who married Joseph JOHNSON on 27 March 1803, in Monmouth Co NJ. The JOHNSONs lived in Toms River, Dover Township in then-Monmouth, now-Ocean County. Joseph JOHNSON's son Charles JOHNSON married Sarah MATHEWS on 18 March 1837. Sarah MATHEWS' father was Garret MATHEWS of Howell (Adelphia), Monmouth Co NJ. His wife was Lydia EMONS. Was Jacob EMONS the father of Joseph JOHNSON's wife Lydia? Is anyone related to this Jacob EMONS?? I am interested in finding the names of his children. Thanks very much, Liz J
