| Notes for John EMERY Jr. |
John Emery Jr. came with his father to Newbury in 1635. Selectman, 1670-1673; jury of trials, 1675-1676; chosen to carry votes to Salem 1675-1676; chosen to 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.
In an article "John-2 Emery's Wife" by Clarence Almon Torrey (The American Genealogist (TAG) volume 17, pp. 96-99, the author concludes:
"There is no authentic record that John-2 Emery married Mary Webster, 2 Oct 1648, the supposed marriage record being a modern record, based on a misinterpretation of the original records --- Unless there is evidence from other sources of information that John-2 Emery married his step-sister, the claim must be definitely and permanently abandoned."
In the Pillsbury Ancestry (p. 742), the author points out that the confusion about the wife has been caused by an erroneous entry made when the town records were copied. |
