John Emery was fined December 22, 1637, by the town, twenty shillings for inclosing ground not laid out or owned by the town, contrary to a town order, and on February 1, 1638, the town granted him that part of ground which was already inclosed. He was made freeman June 2, 1641, and recorded as one of the ninety-one freeholders of the town December 2, 1642; in the same year he was appointed with tree 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 March 16, 1663, John Emery was presented to the Court at Ipswich by Henry Jaques, Constable of Newbury, for entertain of travelers and quakers. May 5, 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 selectment 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 famous ecclesiastical difficulties John Emery was a member of the Woodman party. April 10, 1644, he had a grand 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.

    Notes:

    Came to America in the ship "James", landing in Boston June 3, 1635. He lived in Newbury, Mass., till 1640, then in Dover, New Hampshire, til 1649, when he settled in Kittery. He was often juryman and selectman. In 1660 he was fined for entertaining Quakers and disfranchised. This led him to remove to Portsmouth, Rhode Island.

    Excerpt from "Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury: Anthony was a "carpenter"; came from Romsey, England, in the "James", June, 1635, to Boston and Newbury, thence to Dover, as early as 1644, then to Kittery after 1648; was ferryman, kept an inn in 1651, free. 1652, constable 1658, rep. 1680.

    Name:
    Anthony Emery was born in Romsey Hants, England, where he lived until April 1635 when he sailed in the ship James from Southhampton. A Quaker, he first settled in New Brunswick. In 1650 he moved to Dover and by 1651 was in Cold Harbour, Kittery, Maine. He had a license to sell beer and wine. He married Frances (?) and may have had a second wife.

    The last record that we find of him living is that of a deed of land in Portsmouth to Rebecca Sadler, his daughter, dated March 9, 1680. It is barely pssible that her returned to Kittery, and that Anthony Emery who was a representative from Kittery at York, March 30, 1680, was our ancestor, but it does not seem probable that he, an old man, disfranchised, would after twenty years' absence, be chosen to legislate for the "province of Mayne."
