From Jane James (presumably Source:James, Jane Emerson. Haverhill Emersons), p. 29: "In 1690 Jonathan Emerson was commissioned to command his house as one of the six garrison houses. Chase says it was still standing (1868) at the corner of Winter and Harrison Streets. Pope says the house was on the south side of the present Webster Street near Primrose. Both may be the same location. In any case it was one of the garrison houses and it was attacked in the spring of 1701 but the Indians were repulsed with all unhurt in the house but two fatalities of their own. Jonathan and John Swan had liberty from the town 7 Mar 1704/5 to build and maintain a grist mil lupon Little River between West bridge and Sergt. Joseph Kingbury's land. Jonathan was a constable and he was also a selectman several times."

    "5. Jonathan2 Emerson (Michael1), born at Haverhill March 9, 1669-70; …

    Jonathan had lands from his father … His house was on the south side of the present Webster Street, near Primrose; was one of the 'garrison houses' in the Indian war times. He and John Swan had liberty from the town March 7, 1704-5, to build and maintain a grist mill upon the Little River between the West bridge and Sergt. Joseph Kingsbury's land. He was a constable and selectman at times.

    He died August 19, 1736. His will, dated August 7, 1736, was proved September 13 following. Provided very fully for his wife's support; gave lands to sons John, Nathaniel, Timothy, Richard and Nehemiah; small sums of money to sons Samuel and Jonathan because he had previously made gifts to them; 'my son Moses to be carried through the colledge, and if he comes well out to have one hundred pounds to buy him a library'; money to daughters. The estate was appraised at £2149-2-5."
