<p>At the end of the James Emery story posted by&nbsp;others, it is mentioned that James Emery came over&nbsp;with his father Anthony Emery&nbsp;to America from England on the &quot;Ship James&quot;.&nbsp; Based on the Ship Log of the &quot;Ship James&quot;, this ship left London, England at Southampton on April 6, 1635 with the ship master being William Cooper.&nbsp; The ship arrived in Boston, Massachusetts.&nbsp; According to the Ship Log, Anthony Emery, carpenter of Romsey #52 Hampshire was on this ship and bound for Newbury &amp; Kittery, Maine.&nbsp; The only other Emery on this ship was John Emery who was also a carpenter.&nbsp; This John Emery was the older brother to Anthony by three years.&nbsp; James Emery was not mentioned to be on this ship.&nbsp; Anthony Emery married&nbsp;&nbsp;Frances E. Porter sometime after arrival in America since she was born in&nbsp;1608&nbsp;at&nbsp;Portsmouth, New Port, Rhode Island, USA.&nbsp; Therefore, James had to be born sometime after 1635.&nbsp; My guess is that the date shown for his birth as 1631 in some records is actually 1636 since sometimes the number 1 and 6 can be written to look the same.&nbsp; Records show James to be born in&nbsp;Kittery, York, Maine, USA which was&nbsp;a destination shown on the ship log for Anthony Emery.&nbsp; Research has not yet discovered a marriage record between Anthony and his wife&nbsp;Frances.&nbsp; Based on information above, I would say that the birthdate of James in 1636 and that James was born in America and did not come over on the Ship James with his father Anthony as stated in the story by others.&nbsp; James Emery&#39;s wife Elizabeth Nock was also born in 1636.&nbsp; For the ship log, go to:&nbsp; www.packrat-pro.com/ships/james1.htm</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
