Mary Lou, I have read the History of Chester County and have referred to the James Embree family. I am almost positive there are a Moses I, Moses II and Moses III. I am strong on the line from Moses II to present day. Moses III son Jacob is a direct line for us. He is brother to Thomas Embree. I have the info on Moses I and Moses II from the book. I believe that Moses II is the son of Moses I and not Samuel. I also have found the Embree Family Papers by Emilou McDonald, http://www.etsu.edu/cass/archives/Collections/afindaid/a61.html These papers are located at the East Tenn State Univ in Johnson City TN. My husband and I are planning a trip to Johnson City to go to the library and to Embreeville TN. I am having trouble finding the Exeter Church records. What website? I show Robert Embree (father of Moses I) married to Mary Bassett. Documents are good from Mary Bassett's side. Moses Embree I (16 Dec 1652 to 1689) married to Mary Seaman (1672 to 1748) Source Documented Moses Embree II (1675 to 1748) married to Mary ? From trees on line I have connected him to Mary Southard Spragg (1672 to 1749). No real documentation except for Family Data Collection. Moses Embree III (26 Jan 1719 to 14 Feb 1795) married to Margaret Elleman (25 Jun 1731 to 1807) I have alot of documentation on this Moses Embree and his son Jacob and on down the line. I have only found records starting in 1717 connecting Moses Embree II to the Quaker Church. I appreciate any help that you can provide.

Lyda, Our Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society library has the New York volume of Hinshat, Vol. 3 I looked at it today for the Flushing MM. It and one called Newtown and another known as New York were closely associated. TheFlushing meeting met at John Bowne's house until 1684. It had formed as early ase 1657. By 1716 it had become too large for its meeting house. There was mention again of long periods of neglect in keeping records. The Embree names I found were George who died in 1799 and Abigail Bowne Embree who died 2-12-1806. Their children were Samuel and Sarah. The WPGS library also has "Berks County Church Records of the 18th Century" compiled by E. Edward Wright. It is a Family line Publication. In the Exeter Meeting minutes I found Samuel, s/o Moses of Robertson Twp. married Rachel Lewis, d/o James Lewis of Cumry Twp. 26 2nd mo 1743. James Embree s/o Samuel of Cumry Twp. married Phebe Star d/o Merrick Starr of Maiden Creek Twp. 15 5th mo 1771 Moses Embree s/o Samuel and Rachel married Mary Richard d/o Richard and mary Richaradson 7th mo 1773. There was also a Pottstown Meeting, but no Embrees there. In the Exeter Meeting under Certificates of Removal, I found: Moses Embree Moses Embree to Fredricksburg at Bush RIver 23 3rd Mo 1770. He was to return home. In the men's minutes, there was an entry for Moses, s/o Samuel Embree to Cane Creek 30 8 mo 1769 There was nothing that would clear up a relationship between Moses I, II, or maybe III. I found a small portion of Exeter Meeting minutes on line by Googling Exeter MM. THe holdings at Swarthmore are probably most complete, and they do not seem to be available on line. I don't know whether a search for wills or land holdings in Flushing NY or Berks County PA would be productive. Hope this helps a little.
