• 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. ---------- Reference: "Genealogical Guide to the Early Settlers of America", 1967, p 178.
