Discrepancy

Some say he married his stepsister, Mary Webster; others say he did not. See TAG 17:96-99 for convincing argument by Torrey against the step-sister theory. (Therefore, Mary Webster, dau of John Webster and Mary Shatswell, has been removed from this marriage.)

    The original record is "John Emery m. Mary Webster, Oct. ---", no year specified though recorded between records dated 1648 and 1651, and the day of month faded. The town copy made 48 years later 1696 shows a date Oct. 29, 1650, and identifies the wife Mary Webster as "wid. John of Ipswich" identifying this as the marriage of the father, but the year in the date is impossible, because the father had a child by his second wife in 1648, and the son was married according to court records prior to this date [see Anderson ], indicating the town copy is unreliable assumption by the copying clerk. Mary (Shatwell) (Webster) Emery's will of 1693 mentions no daughter Mary or heirs, while the wife Mary of John Emery Jr. was alive and had many children, so it was not her daughter that married John Emery Jr.
