The Ship Log of the "Ship James" on April 6, 1635 shows Anthony Emery and his brother John Emery (three years older than Anthony) (both were sons of John Emery and Agnes Northend, both of Romsey, England) to both be carpenters from Romsey #51 Hampshire, England bound for Newbury, Mass. and Kittery, Maine.  The Ship James left from Southampton, England and arrived in Boston, Massachusetts on June 3, 1635.  It should be noted that only men and heads of households were named in the ship log which appears to be common for that time in history.  James Emery was baptized at Romsey, Hampshire, England on September 8, 1631 according to parish records.  Other Emery children are also listed in the parish register.  That both brothers had children with them is apparent because of the baptismal records in Romsey and their subsequent mention in the records of the colonies.  Frances and Anthony moved to Rode Island from Kittery, Yourk Maine in 1663, so she was of Rhode Island, but not born there.  Son James Emery appears to have been born in 1636 even though some records show this date to be 1631.  Anthony and Francis moved to Newbury (Newburyport), Mass (until about 1640) and later moved to Dover, N.H., and later to Kittery, Maine.  On Oct. 22, 1640, Anthony signed the "Dover Constitution".  He lived in Dover until 1649 and then moved to Kittery, Maine.  In Dover, his house was at Dover Neck, about one mile from the 1891 railroad station at Dover Point and about four miles from Major Richard Waldron's settlement on the Cocheco River.  Anthony was granted the right to run an "Ordinary" (wine making process) starting in 1643.  In 1646, he was a Dover Selectman for the "Prudentiall Affairs" of Dover.  On Nov. 15, 1648, Anthony bought from John White a house, field, and a great barren march of Sturgeon Creek in Pischataqua (latter named Kittery, now named Eliot) and two other marshes.  He served as a Grand Juror in Dover in 1649.  He lived in Kittery between 1649 and 1660.  He was a juryman in Kittery several times, selectman in 1652 and 1659 and constable.  He was one of the 41 inhabitants 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 from Joseph Austin of Pischataqua, July 15, 1650, a little marsh above Sturgeon Creek with a little house and upland grounds and also one-thousand five hundred foote of boards, for two steers (cows) whose names were Draggon and Benbow, with one weeks work of himself and another two oxen.  In 1656 he was fined L5 for mutinous courage in questioning the authority of the court at Kittery and in 1660, again fined, for entertaining Quakers, and was disenfranchised.  On May 12, 1660, he and his wife Francis sold the house and land at Cold Harbor to his son James for L150 together with all other lands in Kittery.  He then turned his footsteps toward a colony in which greater liberty was allowed, and was received as a free inhabitant of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, on 29 Sep 1660.  It has been conjectured that prior to settling in Newbury or moving to Dover, bought land in Portsmouth, and dwelt there awhile.  This comes from 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, 1 Mar 1643.  It is believed that he lived in Portsmouth until 1680, although he is designated "Of Kittery" in a deed to his son James on 1 Oct 1663.  He served as juryman from Portsmouth on several occasions, was chosen constable on 4 Jun 1666, and deputy to the General Court 25 Apr 1672.  The last record of Anthony Emery is of him giving a deed of land in Portsmouth to Rebecca Sadler, his daughter dated 9 Mar 1680.  Both Anthony Emery and his wife Frances E. Porter died (and or were buried) in Newbury, Mass. which was one of the original two destinations listed on the ship log book by Anthony when he left England in 1635 on the "Ship James".  Anthony Emery is considered one of the founders and beginning of the Emery family line in Sanford, Maine.  Much information is available about the Emery family in the book titled "History of Sanford, Maine (1661-1900)" by Edwin Emery with updates and reprinting by Sanford, Maine historian Mr. Harland H. Eastman in 1987. Some of the information above was obtained from the book: "Geneological Records of Descendants of John and Anthony Emery of Newbury, Mass.  1590-1890 compiled by Rev. Rufus Emery, Salem, Mass. 1890 and printed by the Salem Press, 1891.
