Emery Family - Person Sheet
Misc. Notes
The reason for giving James Emery a second daughter is found in the following sentence from a deed made March 17, 1767:
“We, James Emery, Daniel Emery, Job Emery and Gilbert Warren of ye town of Kittery in ye County of York in ye Province of ye Massachusetts Bay in New England and Sylvanus Knock of ye town of Dover in ye Province of New Hampshire in ye county aforesaid,” giving unto Zachriah Emery son of our brother Zachariah Emery a tract of land which was granted by the town of Kittery to our brother Noah Emery and to our brother Zachariah Emery. This deed contains the names of the sons of James Emery living at that date; for Zachariah Emery died before 1692, as his widow in that year married again, and Noah Emery is mentioned on the Kittery records as deceased in the year 1729. From the language used it is evident that Sylvanus Knock and Gilbert Warren sustained the same relations towards James, Job, and Daniel; and as Sylvanus Knock was a brother-in-law, so we conclude that Gilbert Warren was also brother-in-law and from the Alfred records we find that Gilbert Warren and his wife, Sarah, Feb. 19, 1706-7, sold land in Kittery and on Dec. 28, 1738, Sarah Warren widow of Gilbert Warren sold land in Kittery.
