serve on jury of trials at Ipswich; tything-man, 1679; way-warden, 1679. In
1642 he had laid out to him fourscore acres over the Artichoke or Raspberry
River. Forty acres of this land was a grant of the town of Newbury to John
Emery Senior, and by him given to his son in consideration of love and
affection. The remaining forty acres were bought of Archelaus Woodman for
thirty pounds, being a town grant to him. This tract of land has been in
possession of the name since it was laid out to John Emery, junior; and now,
included in the farm of the late Eliphalet Emery, Esquire of West Newbury, is
owned by his daughter Mrs. Mary Hale Emery. In 3 March 1679 "the town of
(Newbury) granted John Emery, junior, twelve acres of land on the west side of
Artichoke River, provided he build and maintain a corn mill to grand the town's
corn from time to time and to build it within one year and a half after the
date hereof." This mill is now known as Curzons Mills, Newburyport,
Massachusetts. John Emery, junior was a signer of the petition in the case of
Lieut. Robert Pike, and a member of the Woodman party in the church
difficulties. He is styled Sergeant on the records. He was made freeman 30
May 1660; made his will 3 August 1693.

Notes:

John Emery, senior, sailed from Southampton, April 3, 1635, with his brother
Anthony in the ship James of London, William Cooper, Master, their wives and
one or two children each probably with them; he landed in Boston, 3 June 1635,
and went soon after to Newbury where John, senior, had a town grant of half an
acre for a house lot. John Emery was fined 22 December 1637, by the town,
twenty shillings for inclosing ground not laid out, or owned by the town,
contrary to a town order, and on 1 February 1638, the town granted him that
part of ground which was already inclosed. He was made freeman 2 June 1641,
and recorded as one of the ninety-one freeholders of the town 2 December 1642;
in the same year he was appointed with three others to make a valuation of all
the property in the town, for the purpose of proportioning each man's share in
the new division. On 16 March 1663, John Emery was presented to the Court at
Ipswich by Henry Jaques, Constable of Newbury, for entertaining travellers and
Quakers. 5 May 1663 his presentment for entertaining Quakers was referred unto
next Court. The next Court fined him four pounds, costs and fees for
entertaining strangers. The evidence given in the case was "yt two men quakers
wr entertained very kindly to bed and table & John Emmerie shok ym by ye hand
and bid ym welcome." Also, "that the witness heard John Emery and his wife say
that he had entertained quakers and that he would not put them from his house
and used argument for the lawfulness of it." John Emery in May, 1663,
petitioned the General Court for the remission of his fine. His petition was
signed by the selectmen of the town and fifty of the citizens. The fine was
not remitted.

He was also prominent in the case of Lieut. Robert Pike, refusing to recognize
the authority of the Court to deprive him and his neighbors of the right of
petition. In the famouse ecelesiastical difficulties John Emery was a member
of the Woodman party.

10 April 1644 he had a grant from the town of twenty-two acres and five rods
being his own and Henry Palmer's portion of "Divident" land in the great field
beyond the new town. He was selectman, 1661; fence viewer, 1666; grand juryman
in the same year; jury of trials in 1672; appointed to carry votes to Salem in
1676.

John Emery made his will 1 May 1680, proved 27 November 1683, in which he
mentions his age as eighty-three years. The inventory of his estate was taken
in the same day, amounting to 263 poinds, 11 shillings.
