Facts and Events
Many genealogists believe that Mary Webster married John Emery, son of John Emery. However Torrey ("The American Genealogist," C. A. Torrey, 17:96-99, 1940-41.) makes a convincing case that she didn't. Of note is that she was not mentioned in her mother's will of APR 1, 1693, which makes it plausible to believe that by that date she had died in view of the fact that all other daughters were mentioned. In addition, Torrey points out that there was only one Emery-Webster marriage in the late 1640s, not two, the latter theory of which appears to be the basis for believing that John Jr married his stepsister.
