2. Rufus A., born 28 December 1871/72, Sherman, ME, died 4 Mar 1909, married 18 Sept 1899, Silver City, ID (he of DeLamar, ID) to Jennie B. Napier (Adams).

Ambrose Emery was born 9 August 1809/1810, Fairfield, Somerset, ME. He died after 1880. His father may have been Edward Emery. He married Abigail _______ who was born about 1811, ME. She died before 1870.
[Ambrose Emery of Lincoln, Penobscot, ME., and Abigail Gilman of Cold Stream (Enfield) m. 21 Oct 1832 by Winthrop Frost, M of G.] He later married Elvina S., but Abigail is believed to be the mother of the children.
The children of Ambrose Emery and Abigail Gilman:
1. Edward, born 1834, ME – a Civil War vet. (#2705 in Rufus Emery’s book)
2. Rufus, born 9 June 1836, Penobscot Co, ME, died May (29) 1881, near Boise, ID. He married Martha in 1871.

I believe Rev. Rufus Emery’s Descendants of John and Anthony Emery of Newbury, Mass., Salem, MA., 1890, has Edward (2705), the older brother of Wesley, his father Ambrose (1249) and Edward (627) his grand-father living in Sherman Mills, ME. Judith E. Burns revised this book in 1982. Your help greatly appreciated.
