1. The information I have on Robert and Mary is from Embree Footprints by Robert Ambler and various other sources. Mary's parents were John and Margery Bassett. When Robert died, Mary married George Baldwin.

2. The information I have on Moses and Mary comes from Embree Footprints among other sources.

3. The information I have on Moses II and Mary Spragg is from Embree Footprints and the Quaker Records.

4. In Aug. 1745 a complaint was made against John for committing fornication with Rebekah Lewis and then refusing to marry her. This is from the Quaker records of the Exeter Monthly Meeting, PA. John and Mary moved from PA to South Carolina and then to Wrightborough, Columbia Co., GA in 1775.

5. Amos was accused of having carnal knowledge of Sarah before their marriage and it was suggested that they marry. They were Quakers and this can be found in the Quaker records for Orange Co., NC. Sarah's parents were Mercer and Sarah (Piggot) Brown.

6. Amos was first married to Nancy Bray in 1825 in Hendricks Co., IN. She died sometime shortly after the birth of their daughter Nancy. Amos married again and I haven't been able to find the name of this wife. She was born in GA and they had 9 children. I believe she was with him when he died in Iowa. In Iowa, Amos had the first liquor store in the county. He was rather famous for watering down the booze. When the drips from the keg froze it gave him away.

7. Samuel came to the Oregon Territory on the Oregon Trail in 1849. He went to California and spent two years looking for gold. Then he came back to Oregon and married Luthera Church who had been married to Thomas Johnson and was a widow with a young son, Aaron Johnson. Luthera's parents were Joseph Hogg Church and Mary Mariah Beede. Samuel raised Aaron who became a river boat man on the Columbia River. I found a divorce record for Aaron I will transcribe on another page. Samuel died in Lexington, Cowlitz Co., WA. I have been unable to locate his gravesite. One newspaper account gives the burial as being at North Kelso. Luthera was still alive in 1911 but I have been unable to find anything about her death or burial. Perhaps-. Nah.

8. Henry and Lutheria have proven to be quite a challenge. Through the family there were never any stories about David's mother. On his death certificate it lists Belle, Henry's third wife as David's mother. Then I found Henry and Belle's marriage license and the date was 1900 when David was 10 years old. So the hunt was on. Henry seemed to have disappeared for a few years. I kept going back to a marriage record of a Joseph H. Embree and Etta Wilma Church, trying to figure out the Embree - Church connection. They had a daughter named Olive who Joseph got custody of when he and Etta divorced. Finally I found a death date for Henry and an obituary in the Oregonian. It listed a daughter, Olive. Then it dawned on me, Joseph H. and Henry J. were the same person. Henry got custody of Olive but I don't know who raised her. She is not with Henry in any census records. She married a man named James Anderson in Long Beach, Pacific Co., WA and had one daughter. Luthera's family lived in Pacific Co., WA. Etta went back to Colorado where she had come from. Her Church line is connected to Luthera's. Now to find a mother for David and the brother I had found, Claude. David was self employed his whole life as a cannery owner and a fisherman so he never had a social security number. His brother, Claude, who lived in Portland did though. I sent for Claude's application and it listed his mother as May Vinsant. I found a David Vinzant in the 1880 Clackamas Co., OR census with a step-daughter, May. Then I located the marriage license for the marriage of Henry and Lutheria May Weed at the home of David Vinzant. Phoebe, May's mother was married and divorced from Abner Weed after giving birth to May, whose real first name was Lutheria, and her sister Permilia. In the divorce Samuel was one of the witnesses testifying for Phoebe. Abner has dropped off the face of the earth. I have researched the Abner Weed who founded the town of Weed, CA and don't believe this is the same person. Phoebe's parents were Joseph R. Nichols and I don't know her mother's name, only that she died on the Oregon Trail. I haven't located divorce papers for May and Henry yet. May married again to a Steve Kunich and had two daughters. In the 1900 OR census she is married and has a child with Steve. She lists this child as her only child. Henry is buried in a cemetery outside Oregon City and has no marker. On the funeral home records it lists him as being divorced but I haven't located divorce papers from Belle yet. Belle, whose real name is Clara Bell Davis, is buried in the Old City Cemetery in Vancouver, WA. She is buried with her first husband, Charles Callaway and their six year old son, Roy. I imagine that when Roy died the parents purchased plots on either side of him. In the divorce papers of Charles and Bell she gives the reason for the divorce as adultery. I don't know what happened to Bell although I came across a letter in the Clackamas Museum from one of her daughters descendants saying that after the death of Steve, she moved to The Dalles and married a man named Miller. In the 1930 census she is living in Oregon City, OR and has her own shop of confectionaries. The similarities between Luthera and Lutheria's names seems to be coincidental.

9. David and Sarah were my grandparents although I didn't know them well because they died when I was young. Some of my sisters and brothers are quite a bit older than me and knew them quite well. And of course my mother and uncles have stories and memories to share. David was raised by his grandparents, Samuel and Luthera. My mother barely knew her grandfather, Henry. David wasn't much of a traveler. David worked in a sawmill in the Kelso area and rowed a boat to work. Sarah was from River Philip, Cumberland Co., Nova Scotia. The story is that she came to the West Coast to find herself a husband. Turns out she found a descendant of the Embree's who went to Nova Scotia as Loyalists and lived in the same county and town she did. Was she attracted to him at first because of the familiarity of the Embree name? Sarah came west with a sister but her sister didn't stay. She went back home. Sarah came from a large family which I will cover on another page. David and Sarah lived in Centralia before moving to Westport, WA. They lived in a big old house with David's cannery located on the same property. Later in life Roy, their youngest son built them a nice house at the same location. David almost always went by the name Wayne, and Sarah went by the name Sadie. Sarah died in a nursing home of pneumonia while recovering from a broken hip and David died of cancer. After Sarah died David married the widow lady down the road, Dee Postle.

10. Bernice was the oldest of David and Sarah's three children. Besides her they had two boys, Reginald and Roy. When Bernice was 15 she married Robert Amos Rockwood a commercial fisherman. Between the years 1928 and 1942 they had 10 children together. Then while Robert was fishing in Alaska Bernice went to work in the local cranberry cannery and got involved with the manager, Wilho Ross. He was married but had no children. Bernice got pregnant and when Robert came home they split up but he convinced her that he would raise the baby as his own and they reconciled. It turns out she had twin girls. Wilho was a good friend of Bernice's brother, Roy. After the babies were born, Roy brought Wilho to Bernice's place and Wilho made an attempt to see his daughters but Bernice ran him off, fearing Robert wouldn't like it. About 10 months later Bernice and Robert split up for good. She ran off with another man, Carl Lueckeman, and had another child. She left her first 10 children with Robert to raise. Wilho died of liver damage and his daughters never knew him. Bernice never revealed his name and the rest of the family pretended they never knew it. Finally a couple of years ago Roy Embree told the story I have related here. Everybody agrees with it. Bernice went on to another man and had three more children. Robert, true to his word always tried to be a dad.

11. I am one of the twins. I married Raymond Leroy Swim and had four great kids. When we divorced I married a great step-father for my kids, Dennis Arnold Carter. I will relate their family trees on another page. I have three grandchildren.
