Notes for Sgt. John Emery
John came to America with his father in 1635.
He was made a freeman 2 Jun 1641.
On 10 Apr 1642, he had laid out for him fourscore acres over the Artichoke or Raspberry River. Forty of these were a grant from the town of Newbury to his father, and passed to him by his father. He bought the remaining forty for thirty pounds. As of 1890, this land was reportedly still in the Emery family.
John was a member of the Newbury church in 1670.
He was a selectman in 1670-3, jury of trials 1675-6, chosen to carry votes to Salem 1675-6, chosen to serve on jury trials at Ipswich, tything man in 1679, way warden in 1679.
In 1679, “The town of Newbury granted John Emery Jr twelve acres of land on the west side of the Artichoke River providing he build and maintain a corn mill to grind the town's corn from time to time and to build within one year and a half after the date hereof.” This mill came to be known as Curson's Mill by 1890.
John was known as Sergeant John Emery.
He was made a freeman 30 May 1660.
On 16 Jun 1686, Sgt John Emery was one of a committee chosen to lay out lands in Newbury.
John Emery Jr was a signer of the petition in the case of Lt Robert Pike, and a member of the Woodman party in the church difficulties.
He made his will 3 Aug 1693.
