The biography comment "Robert Embree joined the British Army in 1776 and emigrated with other Loyalists to Nova Scotia after the war." might belong to a different person. This Robert (Embree-934) was born in 1716 and would almost certainly have been too old to be the Robert Embree, Loyalist, as described. I could be wrong, but any source would be helpful.
