    Notes:

    The name Emmert/Emert is of German origin. This family came from Germany, but the specific locality has not been found.

    Philip Emert went to Rotterdam, Holland from his homeplace in Germany and boarded the ship "Alexander and Ann" for the trip to America by the way of Cowes, England. On 5 September 1730, he arrived in the town of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

    Philip Emmert and his wife settled in the Uppler Hanover Township, Philadelphia County (now Montgomery County), Pennsylvania. He was listed as the sixth person on the "List of Heads of Families Belonging to the Congregation of New Goshenhoppen Reformed Church" and was "eleted to the duties of office" at the same church on 1 January 1738.

    The Parliament of Great Britain passed an act to allow foreign protestants in the British Colonies in America to become naturalized citizens during the reign of King George II. On 16 August 1741 Philip Emmert took the oath of allegiance to Great Britain and the province of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania.

    In late August of 1741, he and his brother-in-law George Pfaltgraff made an overseas trip to visit Germany for their father-in-law Caspar Kamm for an unknown reason. They came home on the ship "St. Mark" on 26 September 1741 from Rotterdam, Holland by the way of Cowes, England.
