Emsley shows up in Darke Co. in 1835 when he married Nancy Rush/Rust. I have documents that state he born in Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Depending on the document, he was born in 1804 or 1810 in one of those four states (although PA has not been totally eliminated, it is not likely). It is possible that his parents were born in Virginia and that his father's name may have been John. Wow! Now there's a big help! I have to laugh! This is obviously my brick wall! Emsley and Nancy are buried in the Ithaca Cemetery in Darke Co. Ohio. Emsley and Nancy had the following children: John Rogers - b/d unknown.
