Does anyone have a copy of this book: "Early Germans of New Jersey" If so, would you look up EMMONS in the index to see what it has to say about a Nicholas Emmons. The one I am seeking was born c. 1721, son of Jan Amans. Nicholas Emmons married 2. widow Catherine Westbrook. This book is supposed to contain a genealogy on the EMMONS family, but I have no idea which Emmons family or the time period. Many thanks, Helen Graves

On page 350 it states: Andries supposed to be the first of the name in this country; is inhabitant of Gravesend, L.I., 1661; prob. Had ch: I. Hendrick; res at Six Mile Run, Somerset Co. N.J., 1703. II. Abraham; res in Monmouth Co in 1716. III. John; res. Gravesend, 1683; prob. had son: (I) John, of New Brunswick, 1717; Prob m Rachel and had son: 1. Nicholas, bap Readington, 3 Dec 1721 IV. Benjamin, of Six Mile Run in 1717; on tax list, 1738, of Franklin twp., Somerset Co There is the equivalent of a page of notes like the above on the Emmons family. Emmons are also referenced 27 times (including the above) in the book. On page 351, in a misc. section on EMMONS, it reads: NICHOLAS, of Walpack; his will, May 18, prob June 18, 1791 names wife Catrene and ch: John, Alexander, Sarah, Catrena, Elisabeth, Lena, Daniel.
