| Notes |
- Took the Oath of Alleigence 1678. Either he or his son John was convicted of hospitality to Quakers in 1663. He was a member of the Newbury Church in 1670.
He 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, June 3, 1635, and went soon after to Newbury where John, sen., had a town grant of half an acre for a house lot. John Emery was fined Dec. 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 Feb. 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 Dec. 2, 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 March 16, 1663, John Emery was presented to the Court at Ipswich by Henry Jaques, Constable of Newbury, for entertaining travellers 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 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 famous ecclesiastical difficulties John Emery was a member of the Woodman party.
April 10, 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.
TGMB: "On 29 September 1646, John Emery, for his miscarriage with the wife of Henry Travers, fined £3 or to be whipped, and pay witness fee to Christopher Bartlet. Bound to good behavior and not to frequent the company of the wife of Henry Travers. [EQC 1:110]."
