and it is told to be on line with William Emery and
Susan Emery,
James M Emery to Catherine Armstrong
(1859), William Emery (1859), Milton Emery, Michael
Emery JR to Jackson Emery p94
After that Susanah
(dau of Michael Emery and 1st m. Puss Latham-part
Cherokee) Emery takes her family to Johnson Co in South
Illinois where she is only found in the 1860 census and no
known burial place
At the out break of the civil war
where none of the sons joined either side, those that
remained in Henry Co went with the South,
After the
War Between the States, Wm Markham took his family to
MO (east of Poplar Bluff-Wayne Co) some of his sons
were confederate soldiers
Some other Hembree
descendants went to Stone Co MO. The family seems to
have lost touch with each other after those moving
generations passed on. But all have passed down oral
history of being from the Cherokee. They had originated
in the Cherokee Nation where Michael was born 1785. He
had wandered through TN after being raised by his
father Ole John Hembree at his trading post and into
KY as a scout before going to Paris TN. His mother
(Susan) most likely was killed or ran west to Missouri or Arkansas
(Cape Girardeau area) after the murderous night of
Terror inflicted on the Lower Cherokee by the SC
Rangers in the late 1780's or after the murder of old
Chief Abram by the militia during a peace caucus at
his house in 1788; as she might have been his
niece/daughter of late age that was named Susannah of
Chilhowee.
