Notes for JOHN HEMBREE JR.:

JOHN HEMBREE, JR.
1775-1836

John Hembree of Knox Co., KY. Knox Tax lists: 1806 on Stinking Creek, deliquent (180708), 1812, 1818, 1820-36.
John originally settled on Stinking Creek per the tax lists. He later lived on Greasey Creek, KY.. On Sept. 28, 1826 a survey per KY. land warrant #15944 was conducted for John Hembree for 50 A on "Greasey Creek...comes down below sd Hembree's new house..." This land adjoined that of Mathias W. Cain (Knox Co. Land Survey Book 2:169). John was an assignee of Benjamin Goodin. This is the first record of John having land in his name.
The first court record for John is dated July 7, 1817: Commonwealth v John Emry on an indictment for larceny. On July 8, 1817, he pleaded not guilty but was found guilty and sentenced to receive 8 stripes on his bareback at the public whipping post. The prisoner, after sentencing, said he had nothing further to say. The lashes were administered by the sheriff and ordered to be returned to jail until the costs of his prosecution were paid (Court Order Book C:446, 452-3). On Oct. 9, 1820, John Embry was again indicted for larceny, a trial was held, but he was found not guilty (COBD:203).
John was pretty quiet in the records afterwards. He served on a couple of juries, including a Grand Jury, and was a witness in a criminal case.
