Here is a question from our new subscriber Lyda Embree, forwarded with her permission. She is now a member of our Bush River list, so you can reply to her or to the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lloyd Embree To: jrussell2@charter.net Sent: Monday, March 19, 2012 3:51 PM Subject: Quaker Genealogy My name is Lyda Embree and when I was down at Newberry County Library, a gentlemen at the library gave me your email address and said that you were a connection to the Quaker Genealogy. I am tracing the Embree line for my husband. I have traced back to the 1600's. I have read some of the papers on the Embrees, but I still have some questions. I have found the minutes for Moses Embree III and Margret Elleman. I would like to find Quaker records for Moses Embree I and the II. Some of their history is in the Monthly Meeting records for Little Egg Harbor NJ. This is my problem: the records are not on Ancestry.com or at some of the libraries on line that I can find. Can you direct me to a place where I can get the information? I would appreciate any help. Thank you. Lyda Embree Simpsonville SC

Lydia, Futhey and Cope's History of Chester County has some information about the early Embree family. They were French Hugenots and setled in New York, New Rocelle, and the north side of Long Island. There is also a book titled "Trail of the Hugenots" by Reman, republished by the Genealogical Publishing Co. that specifically places one Moses and a brother Robert John at Flushing, New York. I googled New York Quaker records on line, and found that some are included in Hinshaw, Vol. 3. From pages that were reproduced on line it would appear that the records are too recent to include the early Moses I or II. Whatever New York Quaker records there are are at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. I will look carefully at the New York Volume of Hinshaw when I am in the library on Saturday. Moses and Mary (probably Bailey) were married at Exeter in 1745. Check Exeter Church records. Moses purchased land in Berks in 1737. I have a good deal of information about Moses and Margaret Elleman Embree, but I have found very little about the earlier Embrees. This may be because I have not searched New York records. I wonder when the Embrees became Quaker? Hope this helps a little. I'll be interested in any of the early information you might wish to share.
