Great Migration: Anthony Emery (1601-1680)
https://www.americanancestors.org/DB115/rd/7373/441/235161259Anthony 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. Upon arrival in Boston on June 3, 1635, Anthony initially settled in Newbury. 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.We are descended from Anthony and Frances through the Laviolette (DeRochemont) line.
