I’m a descendent of Stephen Emrey, b 1720 (VA/MD?).Researchers have linked Prudence, Stephen and a George as possibly being siblings based on their close proximity in Frederick Co., VA in the mid 18th century.
See “John and Prudence (Emrey) Lloyd, Their Descendants, and Some Allied Families” by Oliver C. Weaver (1990)
Another descendant of Stephen’s has established a DNA link between this line and that of Robert Embree, the immigrant to Connecticut 1644.

Interestingly, this family seems to have an association with, if not membership in, the Hopewell Meeting Quaker community in the Shenandoah Valley.Descendants of Robert Embree are also documented as being Quakers, so I definitely think there is some connection.
