Read More	Victor Emmert was born on January 9, 1844, in Washington County, Maryland, to Mary Newcomer, age 32, and Samuel Emmert, age 37. Victor had at least a dozen siblings, all of whom lived to adulthood. THE EMMERTS OF MARYLAND Victor's branch of the Emmert family came to America from Bavaria in 1732 when Johann Jorg Friedrich "George" Emmert (1718-1796) stepped off a small ship named 'Loyal Judith' in colonial Philadelphia. George and his wife, Eve Maria Graff, became naturalized British subjects in 1751, but then disavowed the king in 1778 when George pledged allegiance to the State of Pennsylvania before Judge Peter Spycker in Berks County. George Emmert's son was Leonard Emmert, the beloved "Old Pathfinder" of the Brethren church. Leonard was born to George and Eve Maria in Bethel Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, British Colonial America in about 1745. He served as a militiaman in the Revolutionary War before turning away from Lutheranism and in 1798 moving his family to Washington County, Maryland to join many other followers of Alexander Mack settling there. Leonard Emmert's impact on the growth of the Church of the Brethren would reverberate down through the generations, and would reach into Illinois, Wisconsin, and even overseas to India and Denmark. Leonard Emmert was Victor's great-grandfather. In the generations following Leonard Emmert's death in 1804, many members of the family emigrated to Illinois in the 1840s, then to Iowa in the 1860s and 1870s, most of them carrying the Church of the Brethren west with them. Others family branches like Victor's never strayed far from Maryland. A LIFE LIVED CUT SHORT Victor's father was very active in the Brethren church. Samuel was also very successful in the flour milling business in Funkstown after 1851, which accounts for Victor's growing up in that community. Victor probably attended common school, and appeared with his family in the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses. Victor Emmert died on November 2, 1860, when he was just 16 years old. We do not know the cause. Victor's remains were buried in the Beaver Creek Church of the Brethren Cemetery. His parents would be buried nearby when their times came. ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ Researched and written by: P. A.
