Notes

Hugh and Ash Emison (and possibly James as well), brothers, sons of Thomas Emison, immigrated from County Cork, Ireland to Jamestown, Virginia in 1761/1762. A "James Emerson" (possibly the third brother) moved from Pennsylvania to Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Hugh Emison settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and married Mary Baird in 1771, moving in 1775 to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Ash Emison probably stayed in Philadelphia until 1775, when he moved to Westmoreland County with Hugh. A "Thomas Emison" is on the records of Frederick County, Virginia, and he might possibly be the father of Hugh, Ash and James. Descendants and relatives lived in Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri and elsewhere.

Includes index (listing Emerson, Emeson, Emesson, Emisson, Emmerson and other variant spellings).
