In the 1850 Federal Census of Pennsylvania, Emanuel was still living with his parents, John and Sarah Greenley.  Once Emanuel left home, he always used the spelling Greenly.

At the time of the 1870 Federal Census, Sarah, Emanuel and two young daughters were living in Point Township, Northumberland County.  Near neighbors were Charles and Susannah (Foss) Callihan, who had resided in Hancock County, Illinois, in the late 1840s and/or early 1850s, returned to Pennsylvania prior to 1860, and who then moved back to Hancock County sometime between 1870 and 1880.

Three more children were born to Emanuel and Sarah.  In the late 1870s the young family left Pennsylvania and settled in Hancock County.  Had the Callihans told them about the fertile farmland there?  We'll probably never know.

Sarah and Emanuel's children were:

i.	Anna M Shamlen Greenly, called Annie, also found as Anna M. Green, born in 1866 in Pennsylvania.  She died April 6, 1932, in Tennessee Township, McDonough County, Illinois, and was buried at Friendship Cemetery in McDonough County.  Anna and Mary Ellen married brothers.
ii.	Barbara Greenly, born about 1869 in Pennsylvania.
iii.	Mary Ellen, born in 1871 in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, perhaps in Point Township.  Mary Ellen spelled her maiden name Greenley.  She died October 2, 1942, and was buried at Friendship Cemetery.
iv.	John Jacob Greenly, born June 22, 1873, in Pennsylvania, died January 20, 1957, in Pine County, Minnesota. He married Eva Alice Knapp on September 1, 1895, in Appanoose County, Iowa.  Born May 10, 1879, according to her death certificate, she was the daughter of James Ira Knapp and Mary Ann Loveday Graham Knapp.  She died December 10, 1957, in Pine County.
v.	Wilhelmina Gertrude Greenly, called Gertie, born December 20, 1876, in Pennsylvania.  Just five days after her 15th birthday, she married John William Sammons.  She died January 15, 1968; her last residence was reported as Princeton, Scott County, Iowa.

Sarah died on October 20, 1879, and was buried at Willis Cemetery.  The Mortality Schedule associated with the 1880 Federal Census of Hancock Township reported the cause of death was puerperal fever, which indicates she had recently given birth.  We have found no further evidence of this child.

One year plus one day later, Emanuel married Mary M. Cain.  On November 12, 1880, the Hancock County Clerk prepared an affidavit stating that Emanuel was applying for a license for himself and Mary; it asked nothing more than their names, ages and his place of residence.  Hancock County marriage license #6814 was issued the same day to Emanuel and Mary, both of Hancock Township.  They were married on the 21st by George W. Green at "Hancock in the County of Hancock."  Marriage License

Mary's middle name may have been Margaret; in a letter (linked below), Emanuel seems to have been calling her Maggie.  Just prior to her marriage, Mary was living with her parents, John and Rebecca Cain, in Hancock Township.  1880 Census

In addition to being counted in their father's home in 1880, Anna and Gertie were also counted in the Hancock Township residence of George W. and Mary Green.  George was a Justice of the Peace; it was he who performed the marriage ceremony for Emanuel and Mary.

The following spring, on March 3, 1881, 15 year old Annie married William P. George.  George Green sent a note to the County Clerk giving his consent for "Annie M. Shamlen Green" to marry, stating also: "I hereby certify that I raised the girl..."

Eight years later Mary Ellen Greenley would wed John Henry George, William's brother.

In 1885, Emanuel, Mary, Mary Ellen, John and Ira (the latter Mary's son from a previous relationship), were counted in Urbana Township, Monroe County, Iowa.

When Gertie wanted to get married in 1890, she wrote to her father.  His reply, from his home in Moravia, Appanoose County, Iowa, suggests that George Green was in ill health (he died the following February).  Emanuel told Gertie she was too young to get married: "you aint dry behind the ears", but "if you want to get marrid and marrid it must be.... get marrid and i wish you well."  Gertie used his letter as proof that she had his approval; it was placed in the files at the County Courthouse.  It's worth a minute to read Emanuel's letter.

In 1900, Emanuel and Mary were still residing in Moravia.  John Cain had passed away in 1897, Rebecca Cain died in January of 1900; they are buried in Central Cemetery, Hire Township, McDonough County, Illinois.

In 1910 both Emanuel and Mary were residents of the Iowa Soldiers Home (now known as the Iowa Veterans Home) in Linn Township, Marshall County, Iowa.  Mary apparently died because in 1920 Emanuel was living with a third wife, Matilda, in a home on West Linn Street in Marshalltown, Marshall County.  He died October 19, 1920, at Marshalltown, and was buried at the Soldiers Home Cemetery.  A picture of his tombstone has been placed on Find A Grave.  We have found nothing further on Mary or Matilda.
