Pedigree for Ruth Minerva Fairfield
     Anthony Emery was baptized on 29 August 1601 in Romsey, Hampshire, England.3,2,4,5 He was the son of John Emery.2 He married Frances in England by 1631 (assuming she was the mother of all his children).1 He died between 9 March 1680/81 and 10 May 1700 (and probably closer to the earlier date).6
     
     On 5 April 1635, brothers Anthony and John Emery "of Romsey, carpenters," and their families sailed from Southampton for New England on the James of London, and arrived at Boston on 3 June.7,8,3 He was a carpenter in England, and in America, an innkeeper, ferryman9 and cordwainer.11,10

Additional Data
On 4 December 1638, Anthony Emery was fined by the General Court for "a pound breach."12 He was probably in Ipswich, Massachusetts the following August, and soon after settled in Newbury, where he lived until about 1640. (Great Migration gives Newbury as his first residence.3,2 He moved about 1640 to Dover, New Hampshire.3,2 He signed the Dover Combination on 22 October 1640.3 In Dover he kept an ordinary, which was destroyed by fire, as appears from the following petition:
Right worp com of the Massachusetts The humble peticon of Anthony Emry of Dover Humbly showeth Unto your good worp that your poore peticonr was licenced b the towne abousd to keept an ordinary wh shd give Dyet & to sell beere & wine as was accustomed & sithence there was an order that non but one should sell wine upon which there hath beene complaint made to your worp as Mr. Smyths saith & hee hath in a manner discharged your petr wch wilbe to your petr great damage haueing a wife & 3 children to maintain & not a house fitted for present to liue in haueing had his house & goods lately burnt downe to the ground "Humbly beseeching yor worp to bee pleased to grant to your petr that he may sell wine & that Mr Smyth may be certified thereof hee keeping good order in his house & he shall as hee is in Duty bound pray for your worps health & happyness.
This petition does not bear date, but it is known from other papers that Anthony Emery petitioned in 1643, for permission to keep an ordinary, and that on 7 March 1643/44, he was "allowed whereby to draw out his wine."3 In that year and in 1648 also, he was one of the townsmen (selectmen) for the "prudentiall affaires" of Dover.3

On 7 March 1643/44, as noted above, Massachusetts Bay General Court considered a petition from Anthony Emery, probably the following undated document:
The humble petition of Anthony Emry of Dover Humbly showeth unto your good worships that your poor petitioner was licensed by the town abovesaid to keep an ordinary which should give diet & to sell beer & wine as was accustomed & sithence there was an order that none but one should sell wine upon which there hath been complaint made to your worships as Mr. Smyth saith & he hath in a manner discharged your petitioner which will be to your petitioner's great damage having a wife & 3 children to maintain & not a house fitted for present to live in having had his house & goods lately burnt down to the ground. Humbly beseeching your worships to be pleased to grant to your petitioner that he may sell wine & that Mr. Smyth may be certified thereof, he keeping good order in his house.13
He was an innkeeper in Dover: On 7 March 1643/44, "Anthony Em[e]ry, of Dover, his petition is referred to the next court at Dover, & he is allowed liberty to draw out his wine in the meantime."14 On 26 August 1646, before Dover and Piscataqua Court, "Anthony Emry fined 10s. for selling beer at 3d. a quart being twice presented."15

Anthony Emery was on the Dover and Piscataqua petit jury, on 7 September 1647.16

On 7 September 1647, "Anthoney Emerey is forbidden by the Court to keep a house of common entertainment or to use common selling of ale, beer or wine, and if it shall appear that he doth after the 15th day of the present month, he shall pay for every week which he selleth beer, ale or wine twenty shillings a week."17

In 1648, Anthony Emery bought of John White, a house, field, and great barren marsh on Sturgeon Creek in Pischataqua, afterward Kittery, now Eliot, and two other marshes. He seems not to have taken possession, however, until the next year, for he served as grand juror in Dover, in 1649.18

On 15 November 1648, John White sold to Anthony Emery a house, field, and three marshes, all near Sturgeon Creek.19

Anthony Emery moved in 1649 to Kittery, York County, Maine.3,2

With William Storer, Anthony Emery deposed 1 October 1649, regarding testimony at Dover court in the previous year.20

On 8 October 1649, "Anthonie Emerey and Francis his wife" brought a slander and defamation suit against George Web, charging Web had called Frances a witch; Web was found guilty and ordered to make a public acknowledgement that "he did the plaintiff Francis wrong."21

Anthony Emery was on the York grand jury, on 16 October 1649.22

Anthony Emery During his eleven years' (1649-1660) residence in Kittery, he was juryman several times, selectman in 1652 and 1659, and constable. He was one of the forty-one inbabitants of Kittery, who acknowledged themselves subject to the government of Massachusetts Bay, Nov. 16, 1652. At four different times he received grants of land from the town. He also bought of Joseph Austin of Pischataqua, July 15, 1650, "a little Marsh soe Commanly called aboue Sturgeon Cricke, with a little house & vpland yrunto belonging, as also one thousand fiue hundred foote of boards, for & in Consideration of Two stears Called by ye name of draggon and Benbow, with a weeks worke of him selfe & other two oxen wch is to be done at Cutchecha."

In 1656, he was fined £5 for mutinous courage in questioning the authority of the court at Kittery, and in 1660, again fined, for entertaining Quakers, and disfranchised.

May 12, 1660, he and Frances his wife, sold house and land at Cold Harbor to son James for £150 together with all other lands in Kittery, "with all & singular the houseing, barne Garden oarchards Commans profetts priviledges fences wood Tymber appurtenances & Haeredtaments belonging, or in any way apprtayning thereunto."

Deprived of the rights and privileges of a freeman in Kittery, he turned his footsteps toward a colony in which greater liberty was allowed, and was received as a free inhabitant of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Sept. 29, 1660.

It has been conjectured that he, prior to settling in Newbury, or removing to Dover, bought land in Portsmouth, and dwelt there awhile. This conjecture has its origin in the fact, that one "Good-man Emeres" owned land in Portsmouth in 1643, as is known from the records of a general town meeting held in Portsmouth, March 1, 1643.

Who "Goodman Emeres" was, or whence came the Little Compton, Rhode Island, family of Emerys, has been mere conjecture. We have been unable thus far to trace their genealogy, or to connect them with our ancestor, except in name and locality. We accept the Portsmouth records as evidence of Anthony Emery's first legal residence there until 1680, though he is designated "of Kittery," in a deed to his son James, Oct. 1, 1663.

He served as juryman from Portsmouth on several occasions, was chosen constable, June 4, 1666, and deputy to the General Court, April 25, 1672. 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 possible that he returned to Kittery, and that Anthony Emery who was 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" in Kittery.23

Anthony Emery was on the petit jury 2 July 1650, 17 October 1650, 25 November 1650, 5 September 1651, 28 June 1655.24

On 15 July 1650, Joseph Austin of Piscataqua sold to Anthony Emery of Piscataqua a little marsh above Sturgeon Creek with a little house and upland and 1,500 foot of boards; payment was two steers called Dragon and Benbow.25

On 15 October 1650, before York Court, "we present Anthony Emory for selling drink contrary to order in court."26

At the same court "[i]t is ordered that Anthony Emory is for to keep an ordinary or house of entertainment where he now dwelleth, and he is to keep a ferry there, and to have for one, in money 1d., in peage 3ob., in country pay 2d. and to keep meat, drink and lodging for strangers."9

On 1 March 1650/51, "Anthonie Emerey of Coleharbore in the Province of Maine" sold to William Pomfrett of Dover "all those two houses in Dover late in the tenure & occupation of me the said Anthonie Emerey together with the garden thereunto belonging and also one lot or parcel of enclosed ground near adjoining to the said two houses, containing by estimation three acres & a half."27

On 11 March 1651/52, John Heard successfully sued Anthony Emery for slander.28

On 18 March 1651/52, the children of George Rogers were disposed of to various families, including a girl given to "Anthony Emrey." Anthony Emery was also to give to "Benjamin Rogers ... the cow that Goodman Emrey had from his father."29

Anthony Emery was presented on 18 March 1651/52 for "being overgone with drink so that he could not speak a true word."30

Anthony Emery was on the Province of York Governor's Council, 7 September 1652.31

Anthony Emery, was made freeman upon submission of Kittery to Massachusetts Bay government on 18 May 1653.32

Anthony Emery made his mark to the submission of Kittery men to Massachusetts Bay government, 18 May 1653.32

On 1 November 1654, a lot of land in Kittery was laid out to Anthony Emery at his dwelling house.33

Anthony Emery was commissioner to end small causes at Kittery, 28 June 1655.34

On 30 June 1656, Anthony Emery was fined £5 for "his mutinous carriage in questioning the authority of the Court."35

He was again fined £5 on on 30 July 1656, for "affronting the court by questioning their authority to sit there and charging them with more than he was able to make appear."36

Anthony Emery was Kittery constable, 5 July 1658.37

On 4 July 1659, "[u]pon suspicion of some misbehavior by Tho[mas] Sadler towards the court of Dover, ... Tho[mas] Sadler & Anthony Emery" jointly bonded themselves to the court.38

On 12 November 1659, Massachusetts Bay General Court, "having considered of the several offenses of those persons that entertained Quakers, with the answers given in by them respectively, do order that ... Anthony Emery pay as a fine to the country ten pounds and ten shillings for making a lie in the face of the Court, & be disfranchised."39

Anthony Emery used his initial "A" to sign a 1660 deed.40

Anthony Emery moved in 1660 to Portsmouth, Rhode Island.2

On 12 May 1660, "Anthony Emery of Kittery ... and Francis my wife" sold to "my son James Emery ... my house and all my land" in Cold Harbor, Kittery, with one hundred acres of upland on the south side of Sturgeon Creek, and a little marsh, and a piece of meadow and some upland near Mast Creek.40

By 3 July 1660, son James Emery was defending his father in court in the matter of two debts.41

On 29 September 1660, "Anthony Emery" was one of three men "received free inhabitants" of Portsmouth.42

On 11 October 1660, Frances Emery, wife of Anthony Emery, sued for £50, being one-third of the value of lands sold by her husband.43

Perhaps she did not accompany her husband when he moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island.2

Anthony Emery was on the Portsmouth coroner's jury, 3 June 1661.44

On 7 July 1663, James Emery petitioned "about freeing his father Anthony Emery from a bond of £20 forfeit to the county for Tho[mas] Sadler his non-appearance for whom he was bound."45

On 1 October 1663, Anthony Emery of Kittery for love and affection deeded to "my son James Emery" a piece of marsh or meadow near York Pond with twenty acres of upland adjoining it.46

Anthony Emery was on the Rhode Island grand jury, 7 May 1666, 20 October 1669.47

Anthony Emery was constable, 4 June 1666, 6 May 1667.48

Anthony Emery was on the petit jury, 11 May 1668, 8 May 1671.49

On 18 October 1671, Anthony Emery was indicted for digging a well in the King's highway where a man subsequently drowned; he was acquitted because he explained he had filled in the well.50

Anthony Emery was deputy for Portsmouth to Rhode Island General Assembly, 30 April 1672.51

On 24 September 1673, Anthony Emery of Portsmouth upon "Road Ysland" released a mortgage on land at Cold Harbor in Kittery where his house stood, paid off by his son James Emery of Kittery, "sold by me to my said son James and made over to me for my security."46

Anthony Emery was on a committee to "plead the town's right for a highway", 12 October 1675.52

At York Court on 30 March 1680, "Anthony Emery" is entered as a member of the assembly for Kittery, but a footnote says that this is an error for James Emery.53

This makes great sense, as Anthony Emery had by this date resided in Rhode Island for twenty years.2

On 9 March 1680/81, "Anthony Emry of the town of Portsmouth ..., cordwainer," deeded to "my daughter Rebeckah Sadler now residing in the aforesaid town of Portsmouth ... after my decease all and every part of my housings and land lying in the aforesaid town of Portsmouth ... together with all and singular my other estate both within doors and without doors, real and personal ..., the said housing and land after her decease shall return and belong unto her son my grandchild Anthony Sadler as my heir."54

On 9 March 1680/81, Anthony Emery deeded land to "my daughter Rebeckah Sadler."54 On 10 May 1700, "James Emry of Dedham in New England, husbandman, the only surviving son of Anthony Emmery late of Porstmouth ... deceased," quitclaimed to "my sister Rebecca Eaton alias Sadler ... all and singular the lands, estate, goods and chattels of the said Anthony Emmry late deceased."55
