Hembree Family
The Hembree family re-entered McMinn County in the late 1930's. They originally entered this country in the 1740's and became established in several cultures...the British, (they were from England), the Scottish (by marriage), the Cherokee, (in numerous ways) and our African American culture (also in numerous ways).
Probably the top Hembree (Emory) researcher of this day is Mr. Larry Petrisky. The data he has compiled in several different projects have done more to advance research in this family than any in recent years.
His work is presented via these links. It is given freely for the use of Hembree researchers but credit must be given to Mr. Petrisky. Larrypetrisky@hotmail.com

The Abraham Hembree Data Project
REVISED MARCH 2004
The Abraham Hembree Data Project Index
This 175 page document goes back generations from the 1757 birth date of Abraham. It speaks at length of his father, William Emory...his mother Mary Grant. Mary's parents Ludovic Grant and Eugihooti & their involvement with the Cherokee culture. It also speaks of the Emory/Amory involvement with the pre-Revolution colonies of the Carolina's and Georgia.
This document goes far beyond the reach of Abraham Hembree. It also deals with the myriad of other Hembree families throughout Virginia and the Carolinas. It is an amazing document and well worth your search.
The Mysterious Death of Edward Hembree
This document covers the mysterious death of the son of "Old" John Hembree. John was the half brother of William Emory and son of John Amory. Old John being the son of a Cherokee woman suspected to be Mary Eyers (Ayers) and John Amory. Edward's death and property left the hands of the family under dubious circumstances and this document is well worth the reading.
The Vann family with its deep roots within the Cherokee culture is widely known. This document examines the relationships between the Hembree's, Vann's & several affiliated families.
