John Emery (I) may have married Agnes EM1, ST8, and he was of Romsey, Hampshire, England EM1, ST8, DA15. John was the father of three known sons who were baptized in Romsey, who were John Emery, baptized on March 29, 1599, Anthony, baptized on August 29, 1601, and Hugh Emerye, baptized on October 6, 1604 EN24, DA15. John may have been related to individuals with the Emery surname whose baptismal, marriage, and burial records were in the Romsey Parish Register: John Emery, buried on June 16, 1594, Thomas Emery, who married Thomasine or Thomason Carter on October 24, 1597, Ellin Emery, who was baptized on September 7, 1601, Margery Emery, buried on September 14, 1610, and Anne Emery, buried on November 1, 1626 EN24. He may have been the John Emery who was buried on June 25, 1627 in Romsey DA15.
Anthony Emery, the son of John Emery, was baptized on August 29, 1601 in Romsey, Hampshire, England DA22. He married a woman named Francis and he was the father of James Emery and Rebeckah Emery (Sadler) Eaton. Anthonie Emery was the father of James “Emry”, who was christened in Romsey, Hampshire, England on September 18, 1631 EN24. According to the transcriptions of James Savage (and later by Michael Tepper), Anthony Emery and John Emery were carpenters of “Sarn” (perhaps Sarum), Salisbury, whose names appeared as passengers on the first voyage of the James in 1635 which sailed from London to New England on April 6, 1635 WI27.
At a General Court held in Boston, Massachusetts on March 7, 1643/4, the petition of Anthony Emry of Dover was referred to the next court held at Dover, but in the meantime, he was permitted to “draw out wine” SH18. He was fined ten shillings for selling beer at three pence per quart at a court held in New Hampshire (probably in Dover) on August 26, 1646, and on September 7, 1647 he was forbidden by the New Hampshire court from keeping a house of common entertainment or from settling ale, beer, or wine HA10. The court record stated that “if it shall Appere that he doth [sell ale, beer, or wine] After the 15th day of this prsant moneth he shall pay for every weeke wch he seleth beere Ale or wine Twenty shillings A week” HA10.
He purchased a house and a field at Sturgeon Creek and other parcels of marsh in York County, Maine from John Whitte on November 15, 1648 for the sum of seven pounds YO11. This deed was probably transcribed by H.W. Richardson YO11:
Bee It known vnto allmen by these Prsents, that I John Whitte Panter [planter] haue sould vnto Anthony Emery a house & fejld & all that is belonging to the sayd John Whitte, & the Great barran Marsh, lijng in Sturgeon Cricke, & ye little Marsh that lyeth Vpon ye right hand/ & another Marsh wch is Called Hereges Marsh, on the same side for the some of seaven pounds, Sterl[in]g: to bee payd at Michelmass next, fiuety shillings, & the next Michalmass Ensewing fiuety shillings & the last payment fourty shillings/ Dated 15th of Novembr 1648: & herevnto I putt my hand/

In a court held at Dover, New Hampshire on October 8, 1649, Anthonie and his wife, Francis Emery (the plaintiffs) brought forth an action of slander and defamation against George Web (the defendant), claiming that George Web said that Francis Emery was a witch HA10. The jury found in favor of Anthonie and Francis and awarded them ten shillings in damages and ordered George Web to publicly acknowledge on the next Lord’s Day (in the presence of the assembly) that he wronged Anthonie and Francis HA10. He was further ordered to repeat this public apology on a different Lord’s Day within one month HA10. If he failed to apologize, he was to pay them five pounds HA10.
He was called “Mr. Anthony Emery” when he was a member of the grand jury at a General Court held at Gorgeana (alias Accomenticus) in York County, Maine on October 16, 1649 MA66. He was “of Pischataqs” (probably Piscataquis County, Maine) when purchased a a small marsh and a small house by Sturgeon Creek, with 1,500 feet of boards, from Joseph Austine on July 15, 1650, which cost him two steers and a week’s work of himself and two more oxen YO14:

He was a member of “The jury of life and death” at a court at “Geana” (Gorgeana) on July 29, 1650 and a member of the jury of trials at a General Court held in Gorgeana, York County, Maine on October 15, 1650 MA66. Anthony Emory was also presented to the grand jury of the General Court held at Gorgeana on October 15, 1650 “for selling drincke contrary to order”, for which he was ordered to pay five shillings, but on that same date the court also ordered that he was to MA66:
keepe an ordnary or house of entertaynement wher hee now dwelleth, and hee is to keepe a Ferry ther… and to keepe meate, drincke and lodging for strangers and to be bound in Recognisence, and to paye all rates & customs
He was on the jury again on November 25, 1650 in a special court held at the house of Robert Mendames MA66. A few months later, John Hord (the plaintiff) accused Anthony Emmory (the defendant) of slander in a court held at Kittery, York County, Maine on March 11, 1650/1, for which Anthony was found guilty; the jury ordered him to pay John Hord three pounds in damages in addition another payment of thirty-three shillings for court costs MA66. He was again a juror in a special court convened in York County, Maine on December 5, 1651 MA66.
Anthonie Emery was of Cold Harbor (Kittery), York County, Maine when he sold his two houses in Dover (now in Stafford County, New Hampshire) and one adjacent three-acre parcel to William Pomfrett of Dover on March 1, 1651 (probably 1651/2) HA10. This deed was probably transcribed by Otis G. Hammond HA10:

He was presented to the Grand Inquest in a court held in Gorgeana, York County, Maine on March 18, 1651 (probably 1651/2) “for being overgone with drinke so that he could not speake a true word”, for which he was fined ten shillings MA66. In that same court session, four children of George Rogers were distributed amongst various members of the community, and Anthony Emrey was selected to care for one of these children MA66. He and several others were ordered to divide a parcel of land between the parcels held by Mr. Shapleigh and “Billine and Lander” on March 19, 1651/2 MA66. He was granted a lot near his dwelling house in York County, Maine on November 1, 1654; this grant was probably transcribed by H.W. Richardson YO11:
first Novembr 1654:
A Lott of Land Layd out to Anthony Emery, at his dwelling one hundred & twenty pooles backe from the way behind his fejld, that now is on an East Lyne, & from the head of the sayd East lyne to goe North by Certen Marked trees vntill It is the same breadth, as It is at ye Water side, & from thence to goe West to a Certen Coue [cove], between the sayd Anthony Emery & Henery Pounding/

Anthuny Emrey was a member of the jury of trials at a court held in York, York County, Maine on June 28, 1655; on that same date, Anthony Emery, Captain Nicholas Shapleigh, and Mr. Thomas Withers were appointed as a commissioners for the town of Kittery, York County for the ensuing year LI1. He was in court on June 30, 1656 when he was fined five pounds payable to the county treasurer “for his mutanous carage [carriage] in questioning the authority of the Court” LI1. He and Samson Anger then had a bond of twenty pounds to promise that Anthony Emery would demonstrate good behavior to all persons until the time of the next county court LI1. On July 30, 1656 at a court held in York, York County, Maine, he was presented “for affronting the Court by questioning there authority to sitt there & chargeing them with more then hee was able to make appeare”, for which he paid the fine of five pounds and another five shillings to the court recorder, and was then freed by proclamation LI1. He was chosen as the constable for Kittery on July 5, 1658 LI1. At a court held in York, York County, Maine on July 4, 1659, he and Thomas Sadler jointly and severally bound themselves in a bond of ten pounds for the good behavior (and subsequent appearance in court) of Thomas Sadler, whom the court suspected of misbehavior toward the court of Dover LI1. This decision had a poor outcome, because the records of the court in York on July 7, 1663 indicate that Thomas Sadler did not appear to the court as he was bound to do LI1. Because of this, Anthony’s son, James Emery, had petitioned the court to free his father from a twenty-pound bond which was forfeited to York County LI1. The court responded by ordering that if Anthony Emery was able to pay five pounds by time the next Court of Assistants was held, then the bond of twenty pounds would be null and he would be acquitted LI1.
On May 12, 1660, he and his wife, Francis, were of Kittery, York County, Maine when they sold their son, James Emery of Kittery, their house and land at Cold Harbor, Kittery, a parcel of one hundred acres of upland south of Sturgeon Creek, and other various parcels of land, for the sum of one hundred fifty pounds YO11. This grant was probably transcribed by H.W. Richardson and it has been copied here YO11:

At a court in York, York County on July 3, 1660, James Emery entered into a bond of thirty-six pounds “to accquitt John Chandler, in the behalf of his father Anthony Emery, from two debts, the one due to Capt. Hugh Mayson, the other due to Hene: Bridgum from the sayd Chandler, to the valew of eighteene pounds, 4s, 0d” LI1. Anthony Emery was received as a free inhabitant of Portsmouth, Rhode Island on September 29, 1660 BR29. At a Court of Associates for York County, Maine on October 11, 1660, “Fran: Emery the wife of Anthony Emery” was the plaintiff against her own husband “in an Action of the Case to the valew of fivety pounds for the 3d of Certen Lands” which seem to have been sold by Anthony LI1. The court ruled in favor of Frances “one 3d part of one hundred and fivety pounds & Costs of Court” (which costs were over one pound) LI1. This may have been an instance in which Anthony sold a piece of property without the consent of his wife, who should have been entitled to one third of that property. In Portsmouth, Rhode Island, he was a juror of the Coroner’s Inquest into the death of Richard Elles on June 3, 1661, which determined that he accidendally drowned “by stres of wethar” on August 8, 1661 BR29.
He granted a parcel of marsh or meadow by York Pond with a twenty-acre parcel of upland to his son, James Emery, on October 1, 1663 YO14:

Lott Strainge, Francis Brayton, and Anthony Emry were selected by the town of Portsmouth to act on their behalf and plead for their right to a highway on October 12, 1675 BR29. He called himself a cordwainer of Portsmouth on March 9, 1680/1 when he granted all his housing and land in Portsmouth, along with all of his other real estate and personal estate, to his daughter, Rebeckah Sadler of Portsmouth, after his death; this deed stated that after her death, the housing and land should belong this his grandson and heir, Anthony Sadler AN7.
