John Emery ownership 1745-1779

By the early 18th century, the heirs of Maj. Simon Willard, who during his lifetime had received several large grants of land for his services in the initial settlement of the Bay Colony, began to sell off large portions of his real estate.  Most of the property, much of it lying in areas not yet established as towns, was unimproved “wilderness” land.  Willard’s son-in-law Robert Blood came into the ownership of a portion of this land in the west part of what later became Carlisle through his marriage to Willard’s daughter Elizabeth, but he neither occupied it nor cleared it for farming.  In 1728 his son, also named Robert Blood, sold a tract of approximately 50 acres bordering the Chelmsford town line (now the Westford/Carlisle line) to Zachariah Emery of Chelmsford.  Emery had earlier purchased three smaller parcels of meadow from others, and in 1745 he gave 70 acres to his son John.  '''1745 was also the year of John’s marriage to Mary Munroe, daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Munroe, who had moved from Lexington to the west part of Carlisle about 1734'''.  It is thus likely that the intended purpose of the gift was to establishment a homestead farm for John and Mary.  Over the next thirty years John and Mary Emery improved the land, built a house and barn, and had six children.  John reportedly served in Capt. Hosley’s Company of Col. William Prescott’s Regiment, marching with the company from Concord to Cambridge on the alarm of April 19, 1775.  In 1779 John sold the farm and moved to Maine.
