SIXTH GENERATION

32. Travis Adcock-Emry ⁽²⁴⁾⁽⁴⁷⁾⁽²⁵⁾⁽²⁾⁽⁸⁸⁾ was born on 3 Jun 1788 in Guilford Co., North Carolina. CONFLICT: Calculation from inscription on his tombstone would show his date of birth to be 6 Mar 1788. 3 Jun 1788 is established by later Quaker records but the place is unproven.
He was Friends - Pleasant Plain MM, Jefferson Co., Iowa in 1845 in Jefferson Co., Iowa.⁽²⁷⁾⁽⁸⁹⁾ Travis Adcock and Elizabeth were charter members of Cherry Grove MM, and in its records we find the notation of the change of the family name from Adcock to Emry by the Indiana General Assembly in 1835 (Heiss 2 p256). He was given a certificate of transfer to Vermillion MM, Illinois as the nearest monthly meeting to his destination in Iowa. When the Salem MM, Iowa was set-off from Vermillion later that year (first meeting 8 Oct 1838) as the first Quaker Monthly Meeting west of the Mississippi River, The Travis Emry family members were among the charter members of the meeting. The Hinshaw Index for Pleasant Plain MM, Iowa records the receiving on certificate of transfer from Salem MM, Iowa in 1845 the Travis Emry family. He died on 31 Jan 1866 in Pleasant Plain, Jefferson Co., Iowa. He was buried in Walnut Creek Friends Cemetery, Penn Twp., Jefferson Co., Iowa.⁽⁹⁰⁾ BIOGRAPHY:
Travis Adcock lived in North Carolina until he was 26. He practiced the Quaker faith. His second marriage was in Wayne County, Indiana. Tradition has it that he was wounded while serving under Andrew Jackson in the war of 1812. He then moved to Randolph County, Indiana where he purchased two pieces of property in Washington Township (May 1814). His was the first sale of land in that township. He changed his name from Adcock to Emery (now Emry) on Jan 22, 1835. The family migrated to Iowa Territory in 1838 or '39, settling first on 243 acres in Henry County near the town of Salem. Later the family moved to Jefferson County near the town of Pleasant Plain. He is buried there in the Walnut Creek Cemetery.

SON JAMES' BIO IN THE HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, IOWA
"... His father, Travis Emry, was born in North Carolina in 1788; served in the war of 1812 under Gen. Jackson; married Elizabeth Frazier; they moved to Henry Co., Iowa, in 1839; thence to this county in 1845; he died Jan. 31, 1866; she in 1872.

MILITARY: 1812: Travis Adcock served in the war under General Jackson according to son's bio in History of Jefferson County, Iowa. This indicates that he may have not been a Quaker at that time.

An excerpt from a single page document entitled FRAZIER - ADCOCK (EMERY) that was possibly supplied to my father, Kenneth Emry, by J.P. Barnes states: "Travis Adcock was a veteran of the war of 1812. He was badly wounded and discharged from service. He was nursed back to health in the Quaker Frazier family, converted to the Quaker faith and married the Quaker daughter, Elizabeth. After Mr. Adcocks conversion to the Quaker faith he refused to collect his army pay, which was in arrears, at the time of his discharge."

LAND:
14 May 1814: History of Randolph Co., Indiana, 1882, identifies Travis Adcock as the first settler of Washington Twp since his is the first land entry for the Twp, (160 acres NW quarter of sec 14, twp 10N, R14W).
19 Oct 1814: He bought another 160 acres in Randolph Co., Indiana.
2 Jun 1840: He bought 243 Acres in Henry Co., Iowa.
1845: Bought 80 acres in Section 14 of Penn Twp, Jefferson Co., Iowa.
1847: Bought 80 acres in Section 23 of Penn Twp, Jefferson Co., Iowa.

HISTORY OF RANDOLPH CO., INDIANA, E. Tucker, 1882,

pg 41: The first settler in Washington Township may have been Travis Adcock. At any rate, he made the first land entry in that township, 1814, and he was residing there at a very early date.
pg 55: Travis Adcock lived in the south part of the county. He afterward had his name changed to Travis Emery. The residents near Lynn say Travis Adcock (Emery) removed to Iowa about 1837.
pg 75: May, 1830, Travis Adcock is allowed $1.50 for three days time spent in attending to a pauper.
pg 82: 1817: Settlers at that time were Paul Beard, Sr., Francis Frazier, John Moorman, John Barnes (Wayne County), Travis Adcock, Isaac Hockett (Cherry Grove), Gideon Frazier. ... Curtis Cleny was the next that bought near Francis Frazier, John Moorman and Travis Adcock.
pg 85: Paul Beard, Jr., 1817: "Settlers about the same time with my father, were James Frazier, east of Lynn; Francis Frazier ... Travis Adcock ..."
pg 149: Concerning the Friends (Quaker) Church: Lynn was formed very early in the history of the county, perhaps as soon as 1818, or thereabouts. The chief members were Paul Beard, Sr., Jesse Johnson, Francis Frazier, James Frazier, ---- Kenworthy, Travis Adcock, John Moorman ... Travis Adcock, and others removed to Iowa about 1837.
pg 379: Travis Adcock, south of Lynn, east of the Johnson Schoolhouse, entered the first piece of land in that region in May, 1814, shortly after Thomas Parker came into that wilderness we do not know. He may have come the first on Green's Fork. He was one of the first jurymen (1818). He had his name changed, for some reason, from Adcock to Emery. In about 1836 or 1838, he emigrated to Iowa, and, not very long ago, he was living there still. His residence was south of Lynn, on the east side of the pike, opposite the Johnson Schoolhouse. He was a member of Friends, but concerning his life in general we know little.

RELIGION: 21 Sep 1816, Travis Adcock received in membership New Garden MM, Wayne Co., Indiana. This may have been a transfer of membership or initial joining of the faith. But probably indicates initial membership given his military service and his first wife's removal from the faith upon her marriage to him.
