Notes
a. Note:   1. Archives of Maryland (Biographical Series)
  JOHN K.B. EMORY, c. 1769-1829
  Treasurer of the Eastern Shore, 1825-1826
  John King Beck Emory was born in Queen Anne's County about 1769, the son of Thomas Emory (?-1803) and the fifth generation descendent of several prominent Eastern Shore families. He lived on part of his father's land, known as Welsh Ridge where he raised corn, oats, and wheat.
  Emory was trustee for the Queen Anne's County Almshouse for at least 19 years between 1802 and his death. He also served on county committees to repair the jail and to care for the poor of Wye Hundred. From 1825 to 1826 he was Treasurer of the Eastern Shore.
  At his death in 1829, Mr. Emory owned a personal estate valued at $3670, including seven servants and slaves and over $800 in cash.
  2. Captain, 38th Rgt., Maryland Militia.
  3. John King Beck Emory died in 1829, apparently leaving “Welsh Ridge to all or some of his children. These children continued to own the property jointly since the following children and their spouses sold “Welsh Ridge” (either their interest in the property or their full ownership) together with “Emory’s Branch”, Heap (Hap?) Hazard”, and Heap (Hap?) Hazard Addition” to their brother Daniel Cox Hopper Emory of Baltimore in 1854: John King Beck Emory of Cecil County; William H. Emory and Eliza Emory his wife, Ann W. Emory, Mary A. W. Emory, and Sarah T [B]. H. Emory and Arthur Emory [husband of T. B. H. Emory] of Baltimore City; and Joseph H. Nicholson and Ann G. Nicholson his wife of Queen Anne’s County.
  These properties, including “Welsh Ridge” were described in the land records of the sale as “near Centreville on the public road leaving from said Centreville to Halls X Road by the ‘milling bridge’.
  At some later time, “Welsh Ridge” was owned by James Massey Seegar and his wife, Frances Ann Hopper Emory, daughter of John King Beck Emory, Jr. It is unclear whether the property was still called “Welsh Ridge” at that point since it was referred to as “The Seegar Farm”.
  Raised corn, oats and wheat.
  4. John King Beck Emory 1768-1846), son of Thomas Emory of Arthur, married Sarah Hopper in Queen Anne's County - Ref. Maryland Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, Approved Application No. 1742, submitted by descendant Dr. J. King B. E. Seegar, Jr, of Towson, Maryland, 1959.
