John Emery along with his wife Alice Grantham and their children, accompanied by his brother Anthony Emery, set sail from Southampton on April 3, 1635, aboard the ship "James." They arrived in Boston on June 3, 1635, and soon after, John and his family settled in Newbury.
A couple of interesting notes: John Emery faced legal issues in 1663 for entertaining Quakers, a controversial act at the time. He was fined £4 and court costs for his hospitality towards them. We are descended from John and Alice on the Laviolette (Shorey) line. In 1646, the same year that Alice died, John was fined for "miscarriage" with the wife of Henry Travers. Ironically, we are descended from Henry Travers and his wife Bridget on the Wright (Tucker) line
