Tribute written for Nathaniel Emery
Nathaniel Emery is the 12th and last child of Daniel and Anne (Emery) Emery. Nathaniel was born when his father Daniel was 49 years old.
Children of Daniel and Anne:
i Daniel
ii Noah
iii Elizabeth
iv Anna
v Anna
vi Richard
vii Sarah
viii Margaret
ix George
x Shem
xi Dennis
xii Nathaniel
Nathaniel himself was the father of eight children. Six by his first wife, Lucy Crockett, daughter of Nathaniel and Eunice (Cooper) Crockett and two by his second wife Barbara Whittier. Not to be out done by his father perhaps, Nathaniel fathered his last two children when he was 61 and 63 years old respectively. Nathaniel and Lucy Crockett were married December 26, 1791.
Children of Nathaniel and Lucy:
i Anna
ii Elona (or Elioenai)
iii Tristram
iv Levi
v Thomas
vi Asa
Children of Nathaniel and Barbara:
vii Stillman
viii Olive
Two of his children left home (Maine) and headed for a new life in Ohio. Tristram and his family left in 1833 and Asa, with Tristram's urging, left with his family in 1844. Ironically, Lucy's parents (Nathaniel and Eunice) had moved to Ohio around 1816 with four of their 14 children and settled in the same area, Seneca county, Ohio, as did their two grandsons (Tristram and Asa) initially.
Nathaniel, to say the least, lived a full life, outliving two wives and four of his eight children. The 1860 census shows Nathaniel and Barbara living in the home of his son Levi, along with Levi's wife Lois (Keen) and their daughter Ellen in Montville, Maine. It's conjecture that that is where he lived out his final years and died, the Emery book published in 1890 states that he settled in South Thomaston and afterwards removed to Thorndike, Me., where he died May 21, 1865. Matters not, he is in fact buried in Halldale Cemetery, West Montville with both wives and many family members.
God rest his soul.
