Jacob Emery b. 1759 in NJ - Parents and Revolutionary War

I am trying to find some documentation on Jacob Emery's Revolutionary War service. I have that he fought from 1778 - 1781 in Capt. Alexander Foresman's Company under Col. Jacob Stouds's PA regiment, but I have no documentation to back it up.

Also, I have seen 2 fathers for him. James and George. James died in 1755, so he can't be the real father. George's death is also listed as 1755, so it can't be him either.

There must be someone out there with some information for me! Ultimately, I am trying to link to John Emery 1598 who came to Newbury MA on the ship James in 1635. I think I come down through John's son Johnathan, but Jacob's father is preventing me from doing this.

All info is greatly appreciated. My email is teri36@aol.com
