History of New Ipswich
EMERY.
The following sketch of this family has necessarily depended to a great degree upon various isolated traditions. It is, therefore, probable that it is less nearly accurate than if it were based upon records.
JOHN1 EMERY, son of John and Agnes of Romsey, Hampshire, Eng- land, b. Sept. 29, 1598; d. Nov. 3, 1683; m. (1) Mary - [d.

He landed at Boston with wife and one or two children in 1635, and soon settled at Newbury, Mass., and there passed his life. He was chosen selectman, and held other offices, although he refused to obey the laws in respect to Quakers, and was fined for entertaining them.
