I too have an EMERY search within my hunt for YORKs and the lineage. My EMERY's are connected someway through the Howe, community. I believe (?) that both boys [called EMERY] were bn in that general area of the state. Clifford EMERY or Theodore R. EMERY, brothers only 1/2, to my Grandmother Jewell Dean MITCHELL ... all 3 children are children of Addie / Allie / Maddie-Mattie / [possibly] Maud E. YORK, d., September 1918, Howe, Oklahoma. The death certificate of Grandma's states that the name is only, Addie YORK as a maiden name ... that's all I have. Sad, Sad, Sad history to track. Gramma's obit lists that she was raised predominately in the Howe Area ... doesn't say the community, doesn't say outside or in a neighboring town just in the area of Howe! Those are the names connected to each other by one person and that one person is a YORK.
