Margie, whenever I see a Chapman looking for an
Emery ancestor, my heart skips a beat. I am an
Emery, looking for my Chapman ancestors.
Lets see if we can connect.
My G-grandmother was Elizabeth (Lib) Chapman, born
1839 in Philadelphia, PA. She died 22 Jan 1919 in
Philadelphia at age 79, a widow.
She married John or Jacob Emerick (born 1828 or 1835),
who later changed his name to Emery.
Libs death certificate gives the following details.
Fathers Name: Wm. E. Chapman
Fathers Place of Birth: Delaware
Name of Mother: Elizabeth Golden or Goldey
Informant: Thomas Chapman,
2204 N. Sydenham Street, Phila.
Birthplace of Mother: (blank)
The 1880 US Census in Philadelphia, PA enumerated Lib
Chapman Emery as follows:
Head of Household: Elizabeth Emery,age 40, born in PA
Occupation: Keeping House
Fathers Birthplace: DE
Mothers Birthplace: PA
Children; William, age 17
Harry Emery, age 15
Mary Emery, age 13

George Walter)(my grandfather)

I have additional information.
Can anyone make any connection to this information?
Thanks in advance, and good luck.
