Notes:
                   Feb 25 2008 - I am not 100% sure of this connection. If it is a connection, he was born on 25 January, and was baptized on Jul 5, 1753.

Mar 2 2008- Going through the land grants, etc. It now seems like Johannes and Margaret are indeed his parents. He has a brother Valentine named in his will, and his property adjoins his. That property is Valentine's who is the son of Johannes and Margaret.
I can't resolve the birthdates, christening dates, etc.

I have his will dated 23rd of July, 1834.
In this will he called himself John. Another time he called himself John Emig, the Elder.
He lived in West Manchester, York, PA.
John said in his will that he had only one son and one daughter, and named the children commonly said to be those of Eve Spangler.

I also have a birthdate of 19 Feb 1753 (this is a christening date).
I also have a birthdate of 18 Jan 1753 in York.
He was called John Emig Sr.
His tombstone reads,"Johannes Emig, 25th Janner 1753, 25th Juli 1834, 81 years, 6 months"

Military Service 1779 - 1780 - 1782 Militia, Private 1st. c.  (they have him as Emig, John III - York County Department of Veterans' affairs allowances and burial record). The dates on that card are 2-19-1753  to 7-15-1834.  (This could be the other John Emig.)
Service entry date: 1779 - 1780 - 1782 Militia.
Rank: Private 1st Class.
Supposedly buried at Wolf's Church Cemetery. Ours is buried there.
The back of the card stated that although he was the III, he was called Junior, private and private first class. First Co. Rinehart Bat. Captain third batallionYork Co. Militia, 1779, 1780, 1782.

There is a real question about who his parents are. IGI has lots of different people.
Michael Lau has a bithdate of 19 Feb 1754, christened 1 Apr 1753, Christ Lutheran Church. Died 15 Jul 1834. (This was from the Register of Christ Lutheran Church - which says:
Item 696 - John, son of John and Maria Margaret Emig,  was born 19 Feb 1753 and baptized 1 Apr 1753. Witnesses John and Dorothy Emig.) This could be the other John.
Buried at Wolf's Church. I don't see a site for him, I see a site for our John Emig, born 25 Jan 1753
These don't look like the same.


Feb 24 2008 - There is a John Emig, son of Nicholas and Eva, baptized on Jul 5, 1753, sponsored by John and Dorothea Emig. At this point, I am thinking that this is our John.

Notes:
                   I also have this as RUDISILLE.
Birth year could also be 1752. She was the second wife, they had no children. The headstone says, "Hier ruhet der Leib von Margaretta Emig cine geboren Rudisill, sie ist geboren im 1 ahr 1753 und starb den 21 Mertz 1839 und bracht ihr alter86 I ahr".
IGI has her as Maria Margaret Rudisill.
She was called Margaret by her husband in his will.

Notes:
                   I don't have any evidence of this child. John Emig's will says that John is his only son, and Elizabeth his only daughter.
