Hi Betty,
The reason that I think (I don't have proof) our Emmons line goes back to Jan Emans of NY is because of information that I found in Alabama records:
The 1850 Conecuh Co., Al census states that William R. Emmons was born in New Jersey in 1780 and from the "Memorial Record of Alabama" Vol.1, it states that William R. Emmons was a native of Philadelphia. William was probably born in NJ and grew up in PA. Also, from the book of cemetery listings in Escambia Co. entitled "Headstones and Heritages" page 87 under the heading "Emmons Family Cemetery" there is a notation which says "We are told the first Emmons was a blacksmith and came to America from Holland". The first Emmons in America was Jam Emans according to the Emmons website and Familytreemaker CD's vol 3 #1161 and vol. 6 #309 and other WFT's as well.
Jan Emans was a cooper which is a barrel maker and is sometimes referred to as a blacksmith. He cam from Holland in the 1600's where he and his family had been living with other Puritans who had fled England because of relegious persecution, and arrived in NY. Jan and his descendants migrated to Long Island and to New Jersey.
Also the names of William R. Emmons children are found in many of the Emmons families in NJ. I beleive that finding the parents of our William R. Emmons will lead us back to Jan Emans, but it is just my personal opinion based on the fact that he was born in the same area as other descendands of Jan Emans. Mary
