Notes:

Anthony Emery, a carpenter from Romsey, Hampshire, England, set sail for America with his wife Frances Porter aboard the ship "James" in 1635. Together with his brother John and John's family, they embarked on a journey that would significantly shape their lives and the Emery family lineage in the New World.

Upon arrival in Boston on June 3, 1635, Anthony initially settled in Newbury, Massachusetts. Around 1640, he moved to Dover, where he became an influential community member, signing the "Dover Constitution" and running an "Ordinary" (an establishment serving wine and food). He was also appointed as a selectman and was granted the right to operate a ferry and an inn in 1650. Despite facing fines for questioning the authority of the court in Kittery and for entertaining Quakers, Anthony's prominence in the community was evident. He served multiple times as a juryman and selectman, acknowledging himself subject to the government of Massachusetts Bay.

In 1660, seeking greater liberty, Anthony and Frances moved to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He continued his civic engagement, serving as constable and deputy to the General Court. Anthony's last known record is from 1680, transferring land in Portsmouth to his daughter Rebecca Sadler. Both Anthony and Frances eventually returned to Newbury, Massachusetts, where they passed away. Their legacy continues through the rich history of the Emery family, a testament to their pioneering spirit and resilience in shaping early American society.

Anthony married PORTER, Frances before 1631. Frances was born in 1605; died on 12 May 1660. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
