Emery, John, Russia, was born in Ohio, November 23, 1824, a son of Rowland 
Emery, born in Charlestown in 1786.  He came to Ohio at an early day, one of 
the pioneer settlers, where he spent most of his life.  His wife was Elizabeth 
Jones, by whom he had two sons and six daughters.  His brother, Matthew, was 
in the War of 1812.  Rowland Emery died in Ohio in 1849, and his wife died in 
1842.  In 1846 John Emery married Mary A. Curtis, born in Schoharie county 
February 25, 1828, a daughter of Joseph and Amie Curtis, who about 1838 came 
from Duanesburg, Schoharie county, and settled in Ohio, where they reared four 
sons and seven daughters.  Mr. Emery at the age of nineteen years was captain 
in the militia under Governor Bouck.  He was highly honored in his native 
town, being excise commissioner for four years, a member of the auditing board 
for four years, supervisor 1866-67, justice of the peace from 1866 to 1870, 
and was one of the members who incorporated the M. E. Church in Ohio.  He held 
all the offices in that church in time, and was superintendent of the Sunday-
school for fifteen years.  He moved from the town of Ohio to the village of 
Poland January 1, 1889, where he now lives.  His grandfather, Robert Emery, 
was born in New York and early in life settled in Montgomery county.  He died 
in Stratford, aged ninety-three.
