Granville County, NC Emory Chronology Prepared by Harold A. Lloyd War Records ca. 1778 John Emery and Edmund Emery
joined Capt. Benjamin Wade's Company No. 6 under the 1778 Assembly Act.
John Emery was a planter, 22 years old, 5 feet 9 inches high, pale
looking with brown hair and walked "with a little stooping."
Edmund Emery was also a planter, was 19 years old, 5 feet 9 inches high,
had dark hair and a swarthy complexion.
This would give Edmund a birth year of around 1759. NC State Census 1784-1787 Dutch District

10-16 could be the William who shows up in 1804.
If William was 16 in 1800, he was close to 21 in 1804 and thus
listable at that time. Perhaps
William is not mentioned in the 1825 estate because he had died by 1825?
Based on Lewis’s age given in the 1850 Wake Census, he would
appear to old to be Edmund’s son and perhaps they are brothers. 1800 Tax List Dutch Edmund Embry (sic)

lists John Emory as having five school age children: "Wyat,

years as supplemented by the 1850 Granville Census, George Emory had the
following children: Robert
Emory, John Emory, George Emory, Samuel Emory, Simson? Emory, Rutha?
Emory, Wiley Emory, Caroline Emory and William Emory. 1846 Tax List (Beaverdam Only Reviewed) Beaverdam John Emory

and, beginning in 1801, over the age of 50 were exempted from poll
taxes. Beginning in 1817
this upper limit was lowered to 45.
Ages can thus be calculated based on this formula.
Tax lists are often incomplete as comparisons with census shows.
