He married Katherine (Katharine Nelles) Nellis in 1810.
Katharine is buried (and we have her headstone photograph) in the Trinity Lutheran Church Cemetery, Stone Arabia, Montgomery, New York, USA. It is known this Cemetery was neglected. It is likely, Johannes is buried here as well, since Katharine was his only bride- but we have no citation
He may be buried in the Trinity Lutheran Cemetery in Stone Arabia, New York.
Johannes F. (possibly Friedrich- no citation) died in Osnabruck Twp., Stormont, Ontario, Canada. This is highly likely, as all Loyalists had their Land and Possessions confiscated by Patriots after the War.
He was a Shoemaker, Farmer and Soldier in the American Revolutionary War. Rank of Corporal. He fought under Captain Angus McDonnell, Kings Royal Regiment New York
(KRRNY)
He likely would have changed his Surname spelling to Empey, as did his father- This due to the fact he was a United Empire Loyalist and fought for and sided with the British cause- as did his father Corporal Philip Empey Sr. This is likely as I say, yet when researching, we always find an Empie spelling.
Johannes F. and Katharine`s 9 children, all spelled their Surname Empey- as keeping with the Loyalist tradition.
