Embry-365 and Embra-4 appear to represent the same person because: Spelling of the last name is the cause. Sarah Embrey (Embra) was married to Lt. Colonel Isaac Read. This is just an error

this is part of my genealogy i researched yrs ago

i created a website that i have not updated here goes http://paniqui_embry.tripod.com/ check the name index for Read, Embry, etc

The Embry’s or Embra (depending on the year) in the “Reade, or Read” family are quite well known, especially when so many families used the Embry as a middle name. Thanks for your website. I reviewed it and it is quite extensive.

I am going ahead and beginning a merge of these two Sarahs as they are same.

Embry-365 and Embra-4, are probably the same ladies. Please review and merge. If you need help, please send me a note at McCurdy-322. This is my great uncles direct ancestor.

I'm not positive, I just added a better source for her (https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89062851845&view=1up&seq=571&q1=embra) according to it her parents are Henry + Martha. However, their husbands are clearly the same person. I'll let you make the call since I'm not very active. You can make the call to merge or not.
