Alice Emery

Called sister Mary Webster in her brother John’s will of 1647. Probate Essex Co Probate 1:60 will

John Emery Sr called “brother” in her brother Theophilus will 1663

The name of John Emery's first wife, married in England, is not known. An interesting and very great possibility is the marriage of John Emorye and ALICE GRANTHAM on 26 Jun 1620, at Whiteparish, Wiltsshire, England about eight miles from Romsey. d/o Walter and Eleanor Grantham of West Dean, Wiltshire will proved 5 Feb. 1622/3 which starts as follows: In the name of God Amen; I Walter Grantam... I give more overn unto Alice Emerye my grandchild six schillings eight pence and if she dye to be payed to her mother at the death of her grandmother...

While this evidence is more convincing than that of the 1890 book that supplies what appears to be a synthetic name, Mary, and a date for her death, Apr. 1649, which does not appear in the printed vital records of Newbury. Frederick J. Nickleson has done the research on this and in his article Alice Grant(h)am, probable wife of John Emery of Newbury, Massachusetts" in The American Genealogist whole number 260, October 1990, Vol 65, No. 4.
