PREFACE
A In presenting this Second Part of the Haverhill Emer-
T' sons, the compiler would ask all readers to note a few Ci points:
<;n Firstly, that he has made use of all available means of
<;;n| gathering and arranging the materials here presented, and
^?ijNy assures the family that the book gives no fanciful dreams
and ambitious theories, but information sought out with
rigid care and presented as simply as possible. He has
avoided the long-drawn descriptions and dissertations
with which some authors have attempted to impress their
readers, and preferred to leave some things unsaid, or
>. iS' very briefly told, which are capable of many words. He
^ has framed the work for generations to come as much as
for the first readers.
Secondly, he has found many obstacles in the way of making a perfect genealogy. Some of these are the in- difference of hundreds of Emersons to whom circulars and letters have been sent, who have delayed for months or altogether failed to reply; the hasty statements of some whose dates and names have differed from the records of towns and cities and have differed among members of the same inmiediate family; and, hardest task of all, the difficulty of distinguishing between the two great family groups, the Haverhill and the Ipswich Emersons.
In view of these facts, he begs the consideration and forbearance of those who find what they count errors, and would ask them to hold their indictments patiently till they have gotten full evidence on the points in question. Even printed records of towns and cities may contain incorrect entries, and positive statements of fathers and 3
'^
4 EMERSON GENEALOGY
mothers, husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and children may not be the final and reliable records, but faulty memories and hasty tongues may be involved.
And, in fine, please accept this effort of an honest lover of ''folks," painfully aware of his own limitations, who has done all his work in compiling and editing with the same warm, personal feeling and desire to set forth the truth as if he were in fact a member of this noble family, which he has come to regard as one of the finest of the stocks which were transplanted from Old England to New England two centuries and three-quarters ago.
He would hereby record his indebtedness to the ex- cellent genealogy of the Dover, N. H., group of the Emer- son family presented in "The History of Durham, N. H.," by Dr. Everett S. Stackpole; to the sketch of a portion of the descendants of Samuel Emerson, of Chester, Mass., in Dr. Linn Emerson's neat volume; and to the contribu- tions of family records by several very helpful correspond- ents, of the Emerson and other names. The family at large will also keep in grateful remembrance the trio of liberal men who furnished the means for the compiler to obtain the English treasures which are shown in the coat of arms, the views of the ancient church of Cadney, and the records of the family there: Ellius Albert Emer- son, of Haverhill; Guy Le Verne Emerson, of Chicago, 111. and Dr. Justin Edwards Emerson, of Detroit, Mich., are the three who made that research possible.
Please take particular notice of The Additions and Corrections to Part First which are given on pages 17 to 24 of this volume.
THE HAVERHILL EMERSONS
THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY OF THE HAVERHILL EMERSONS
In the introduction to Part First of this work the writer discussed the matter of EngHsh Emersons, referring to the valuable book on that subject by Dr. Peter Henry Emerson and the " Genealogy of the Ipswich, Mass., Emerson Family " by Prof. Benjamin Kendall Emerson and Capt. George Augustus Gordon. The records quoted by these authors showed the Ipswich pioneer, Thomas Emerson the baker, to have been son of a currier at Bishop's Stortford in Hertfordshire, named Robert Emberson or Emerson, and gave the baptisms of so many of the children of Thomas who came hither with him as to leave no doubt that the pedigree was well established. But it became necessary for the present writer to point out a serious and gratuitous blunder made in the American genealogy, namely, the statement that Robert Emerson of Haverhill was a son of the Ipswich pioneer! The testimony of Michael Emerson of Haverhill, that he and Robert were brothers, and certain elements in the history of Robert were adduced by the writer to show the entire separateness of the Ipswich and Haverhill Emerson families in their Enghsh ancestry.
The writer then brought forward an abstract of a will made by Alexander Emerson of Sereby, in the county of Lincoln, England, yeoman, and gave the suggestion that that region might prove to be the cradle of the Haverhill family.
Later critical inspection of the parish and probate records quoted by Dr. Peter Henry Emerson revealed several entries which appeared to point definitely to the Haverhill men and show their ancestry. A few of the subscribers to Part First were informed of this, and of
5

the fact that Mr. Pope was about to vi^it England (his tenth season in Great Britain on genealogical research), and could make a side trip to Lincolnshire and obtain full details on this matter.
A fund was contributed for this purpose by the follow- ing, who had been subscribers to Part First : Ellius Albert Emerson, A.B., of Haverhill, Mass.; Justin Edwards Emerson, M.D., of Detroit, Mich., and Guy Le Verne Emerson, Esquire, of Chicago, 111. ; and the writer made the visit in September, 1913. Herewith he presents his report.
Beginning at the point where the most essential evidence of connection appears, we will first read the will of the father of the Haverhill settlers, copied from the original in the probate office in the city of Lincoln, England, by the writer:
In the name of God amen, I Thomas Emerson of Howsham in the parish of Cadney in the countie of Lincoln yeoman, Aged and weake in body. But of sound and pfect memorie praised be God for it doe make and constitute this my last Will and testament in manner and forme folowing, Viz: Imp': I bequeath my soule into the hands of Almighty God my heavenly maker and Redeemer, And my body decently to be buried in the parish church yard of Cadney nere unto the place where my wife was buried, And of my worldly goods I thus dispose, Imprimis I give to Edward Emerson my sonne twentie pounds to be payd to him within three monthes after my decease, Item I give to my sonne Thomas Emerson twentie pounds to be likewise payed within three monthes after my decease, Item I give to my sonne Michael Emerson five pounds to be payd within five weeks after the demanding of the same. Item I give to my daughter Elizabeth Lilforth and her children four pounds to be hkewise payd within five weeks after the demanding of the same, Item I give to Robert Emerson my sonne ffive pounds to be likewise payd within five weeks after the demanding of the same.

Surrogato
Here is the testament of a proprietor of ''lands and tenements," some of which he occupied, some rented to men of smaller means. He was one of the wardens of Cadney parish, and his well-written signatm-e on the parish register for a number of years shows that it was only through sickness or the infirmities of age that he was obliged to make his mark to his will.
He was at that time a widower, and affectionately desired to have his body placed in the ground close to the ancient parish church near to the spot that contained the ashes of his spouse. He had regard for every one of his children and gave each some token of that love. But he made two distinct classes. One group was ''here in England"; the others were so far away that an "aquit- ance, " that is, a written receipt, would satisfy the executor of his estate. The daughter had children; he gave no hint of the sons having any. He did not say where the three who might send receipts lived, but the words "my children here in England " prove conclusively that Michael, EHzabeth and Robert were in some other country. The surname of the daughter abroad is signifi- cant. The will spells it in two ways, and the records of Haverhill give Lilford, Linford, Lilfurth and Lilfurd;
8 EMERSON GENEALOGY
and the fact that she had children at the date of the will, 1656, is shown by records here. An early clerk of Haver- hill, recording the births of the children of Thomas and EUzabeth Lilford, gives her maiden name as ''Emerson." They had Elizabeth Lilford, born April 12, 1648; Mary Lilford, born February 7, 1649; Martha Lilford, born March 12, 1654, and perhaps others. Michael Emerson was certainly here in the year 1651, but not married till nearly a year after his father's will was signed, and Robert did not marry till a year later. This accumulation of evidence leaves no possible question of the connection.
Turning next to the parish registers of Baptisms, Mar- riages and Burials in Cadney, we find the following:
Thomas Emerson, yeoman, and Margaret Free, spinster, were married August 10, 1612.
The following children of this couple are recorded: Alexander Emerson, baptized Oct. 7, and buried Oct. 19, 1613. Anna Emerson, baptized Oct. 2, 1614. Elizabeth Emerson*, baptized Apr. 22, 1616.
*Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Margaret (Froe) Emerson, baptized at Cadney, Lincolnshire, England, April 22, 1616; came to New England at a time unknown to us; married (date not known) probably at Rowley, Mass., Thomas Lilford (Lilforth, Lilfurd, Linford, etc.) who was born (according to his deposition in 1662), about the year 1615, and came to Rowley before 1643, when he was made a proprietor. He afterward removed to Haverhill. He was a farmer. He died November 15, 1672; his widow administered on his estate. As such she sold to Robert Emerson "in consideration of full satisfaction and pay received by my said husband & for confirmacon of a bargain made & contracted by my said husband & Robert Emerson seUing to y* s^ Robert one commonage & a parcel of meadow," conveying the same to Robert October 29, 1673, in the presence of Michael Emerson. (Norf. Co. De. 3:271.) She also gave to Nicholas Browne, April 24, 1687, one-half of the second division of upland in Haver- hill, "in fulfilment of a promise made long before by her husband in antici- pation of the marriage of said Browne with their daughter Mary Lilfurth." (Es. Co. De. 9:90.) Nicholas and Mary Browne sold this tract May 9, 1687. They had children Ebenezer, Abia, Mary, Ruth and Martha Browne; Abia married Richard Marshall of Ipswich, who joined with her in a deed of her share of Haverhill real estate to her brother Ebenezer, March 7, 1723-4; Mary, Ruth and Martha conveyed to Ebenezer their shares "in the estate of their grandfather Thomas Lilfurth, late of Haver- hill," May 2 and 8, 1726. Ehzabeth (Emerson) Lilford died February 20, 1692-3, and her estate was administered on and the estate of her hus- band completely settled by her eldest daughter Elizabeth who had married
Brewer. She charged for the keeping of her mother 14 years,
sixty-five pounds; the balance of the property, eighty-eight pounds, was divided between Mrs. Brewer and "the other daughter Mary Lilford," May 4, 1696.

John Emerson, baptized Mar. 20, 1617-8. Isabell Emerson, baptized Jan. 11, 1619-1620. Susan Emerson, baptized May 25, 1621. Edward Emerson, baptized Apr. 25, 1624. Thomas Emerson, baptized Apr. 24, 1626. Michael Emerson, baptized "the xix"* of Apr. 1627." Robert Emerson, baptized "octavo die Novembris, 1629" (the eighth day of November) . Thomas Emerson of Howsham was buried December 25, 1657.
The record of the death or burial of Margaret, wife of Thomas Emerson, is not found in the register. Possibly it was recorded on one of the pages of the ancient parchment book which are now so worn and shiny as to be illegible.
The ascending ancestral Une from Thomas Emerson, father of Michael and Robert, goes to the person whose will (abstract) was given in Part First of this work, which we now repeat:
''Alexander Emerson of Sereby in the county of Lincoln, yeoman," made his will April 10, 1604, and it was proved February 10, 1605-6. He desired to be buried in the church of Serebye. To his wife he gave all his lands and tenements in Serebye during her life, if she did not marry after his decease. After her death or marriage he willed those lands and tenements to his son Michael Emerson, and the heirs male begotten of his body for ever, with remainder to son Robert and his heirs, then to son Thomas, etc., then to son John, etc., and lastly to the right heirs of son Michael for ever. To his son Thomas Emerson all his lands and tenements, etc., in Howsham and Cadney, with remainder to John, then to Robert, then to Michael and lastly to the right heirs of son Thomas. To wife all houses, lands and tene- ments in Glamford Brigges for life and then to son Robert. To Margery and Margaret Emerson, daughters of de- ceased son George, twenty shilUngs apiece. All his goods to be divided equally between these five, viz., "my wife and John, Michaell, Robert and Thomas Emerson, my sons. Son Michaell full and sole executor." Alexander Emerson was buried in Sereby, October 8, 1605.
The names in this will are so closely like those in the
10 EMERSON GENEALOGY
will of Thomas of Howsham, and the phrases employed with reference to the ''lands and tenements in Howsham" which Alexander bequeathed to Thomas, and the income from which Thomas bequeathed to his daughter Isabell; the same word ''yeoman" used to describe the men; and the fact that the Howsham man named his eldest son Alexander — all combine to form strong evidence that Alexander of Sereby was the father of Thomas of Howsham and grandfather of the Haverhill pioneers.
"Jenett Emerson, of Serebie in the countie of Lin- coln," widow, made her will May 24, 1612. It was proved June 19, 1612. Desired to be buried in the parish church of Serebye as near the body of her late husband Alexander Emerson as might be. Bequeathed to her sons John, Robert, Thomas and Michael Emerson, making the last named executor; gave also to her daughter Anne and her daughter Agnes ffotherbie. Robert and Thomas Emerson were among the witnesses to the will.
Thomas Emerson of Howsham was married only a few weeks after the distribution of this estate, which we may beheve was that of his mother.
Going a step further back we come to the father of Alexander Emerson.
"George Emerson thelder, husbandman of Serebye in the countie of Lincoln," made his will October 18, 1573, and it was proved May 10, 1574, before the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln. He bequeathed to his children Helen, Alice, Ehzabeth, Richard, Mary and Alexander. Gave to the latter forty pounds, the lease of his farm, his "seastarne" (cistern?) and as much barley as would sow his (Alexander's) "land." Bequeathed "to the high altar for forgotten tithes two shillings" ; the same amount to the cathedral church of Lincoln. His wife to stay at the farm as long as she lives and have life use of the estate. A bequest to his brother Phillippe Emerson. Wife executrix.
There was no other Alexander Emerson at Sereby, so far as the incomplete records show; Alexander of Sereby bestowed the name George on a son, probably his eldest;
THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY 11
the lands given to Alexander by George would constitute a nucleus for the large holdings Alexander had at his death; altogether we are justified in believing that George was father of Alexander, grandfather of Thomas of Howsham and great-grandfather of Michael, Elizabeth and Robert who came to New England.
Back of that there is no real evidence of the line. A strong probability points to John Emerson, of Sereby, who died in 1561; and as his wife bore the name Isabella, (which was that of a sister of the New England settlers, and his own name John was used in each of the generations which we know belong in the fine), there is reason to infer that he was the father of George and Philhppe and very likely of an Edward who died in Sereby a little later, and whose name also was in the family from which the im- migrants came.
The following pedigree may be written, then, from the parish and probate records, leaving the first generation at the head, although not positively asserting the con- nection between that and the second; but the connection between the second, third and fourth, and the link between the fourth and the Haverhill Emerson family are un- questionable. This pedigree constitutes a most satis- factory bond between Massachusetts and Lincolnshire, between New and Old England.

In addition to this account of the ancestry of Michael and Robert Emerson, there is another fine of evidence which finely confirms our conclusions and adds dignity to the family.
12 EMERSON GENEALOGY
In the library of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society, Boston, Mass., there is a four-volume work entitled "Lincolnshire Pedigrees," edited by the Rev. Canon A. R. Maddox, M.A., F.S.A., published by the Harleian Society, the leading genealogical society of England, at London, in 1902. We find, on page 330, the following:
"EMERSON of Searby, Glamford Brigg, etc.
(MS. C. 23, Heralds' College.)
Arms, (Yorke's Union of Honour) —
Azure, on a bend argent, three torteaux."
After which the writer gives the pedigree, nearly as we have wrought it out above, down to "Thomas, 2nd son, 1604."
Other descendants are shown at successive stages but they do not affect the American line which sprung from this "2nd son" Thomas.
But we can go still further in our accumulation of historic evidence and examine the very book from which the "Lincolnshire Pedigrees" drew its facts.
"THE UNION OF HONOUR containing the Armes, Matches And Issues of the Kings, Dukes, Marquesses and Earles of England from the conquest untill this present year, 1640. With the Armes of the English Viscounts and Barons now Being: and of the Gentry of Lincoln- shire. Whereunto is annexed a briefe of all the Battels which have beene fought and maintained by the English since the Conquest, till the yeere 1602. Collected out of the most approved Authours, former or moderne, by James Yorke Black-Smith. London. Printed by Edward Griffin. 1640." Several poetical testimonials to the value of the work are given in the early pages ; one of them will serve as a sample : "To his friend, James Yorke of Lincolne. Let none upbraid thee for thy skill, whereas Thy Trad's a Smith, thou bred in Lincolne was A citty great (where thou didst gather this) Knowne to our nation well, as London is. I speake thy worth, thy worke let all men see. And wrest it if they can, still Yorke shall he, But what, a Smith and Herauld? Yes, of fame: Thy pen, thy Booke doth show, as Yorke, thy name. T.

THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY 13
In due order among the shields of the gentry of the county, Yorke gives a page which we reproduce in its simple dignity.
It may be fair to those of our readers who are not famiUar with heraldry to explain the meaning of these terms.
The shield is ''azure," i.e. blue; athwart its face passes a band or ''bend" argent, i.e. silvered, on which three "torteauxes," or hemispherical roundlets, are placed; their color does not need to be mentioned because torteaux were always painted "gules," i.e. red. In the upper part of the shield appears the "cressant" or crescent moon, silver, of course, "for difference" or to distinguish the shield of a second son from that which the eldest son was entitled to use. The use of the three "torteaux " on the shield suggests high antiquity, for it was one of the very earliest symbols placed on coat armor. The form of the shield, too, is one of the simplest, not debased by being covered with many elements, strong in its use of a few symboUc figures. No crest or motto was shown in the Harleian description or that of Yorke.
It does not appear that the Haverhill pioneers brought this coat of arms over with them. Probably they cared very little for it; like their father and grandsire they wrote themselves "yeomen"; their faces were turned toward the future rather than the past; they sought to build a family rather than to parade ancestral glory. Their descendants have a good right to use the shield as a family memorial, centuries old, an escutcheon to guard and honor.
THE ANCIENT HOME OF THE HAVERHILL EMERSONS
Cadney parish, with the village of Howsham; Searby, Wrawby and Glamford Brigges all lie near together in the very northern portion of Lincolnshire. The Emerson family held lands in all of them and passed from one to the other as they purchased or inherited tracts or resi-
14 EMERSON GENEALOGY
dences. Our interest must naturally center chiefly in the particular spot which gave birth to the pioneers.
HowsHAM is a scattered hamlet of farmhouses in a flat, featureless region; ash, oak and elm trees are all about; haystacks stand as they have done every year time out of mind; slates have generally replaced the old thatch roofs, and some modern buildings and implements about would astonish Michael and Robert if they went back today; but the general appearance is unchanged. The comfort and prosperity of English farm life appear. Two miles off, the tower of Cadney parish church lifts its square bulk above the trees in silent dignity.
The northeastern wall of the church, where cold and frost hold undisputed sway for the brief winter instead of alternating with warm sunshine, still resists ''the tooth of time," and the building looks as the boys first saw it; even the carved heads at the side of the windows still stare down at visitors as they have for centuries. The churchyard where Margaret and Thomas slept has some modern stones but keeps its general antique ap- pearance. Within, the old font, from which the vicar's hand lifted the water for their baptism, almost three centuries ago, is still fulfilling its appointed service; and here and there in the "restored" church are fragments and parts of the ornaments which gave occupation to their childish eyes when they failed to understand the preacher. The venerable pillars which upheld the roof do their office today, and the stately worship would impress their hearts now as it did when their infant minds were first awed into solemn stillness by chant and prayer and psalm. Thomas Emerson, their father, was one of the wardens of the parish for some years, and his family was doubtless one of the most loyal to the church; the young men had no local woes or persecutions which they sought to escape, so far as we can judge; some other cause must have nourished in their souls the spring of adventure or the flame of pilgrim zeal.
There was material for this near at hand. The valley of the Ancholme wherein Cadney parish Hes was only a
CADNEY CHURCH, NORTH WINDOW
THE ENGLISH ANCESTRY 15
little way from Gainsborough, one of the places where the Pilgrim church began its history. There Reverends John Robinson and John Smyth preached and gathered a congregation of intelligent, independent Christian men and women. After making Scrooby, a bit further west, their meeting place for a short time and being much interfered with, they betook themselves, in 1607, to Holland, by way of Boston in this same Lincolnshire, travehng across the county in a course not very far from Cadney parish; so that their sad persecutions, their exile to Holland and their voyage in the "Mayflower" to our Plymouth, in 1620, were famihar facts to the people of that section. Two of the three children of Thomas and Margaret Emerson who finally came over here were not born till after the " Mayflower's " voyage was made, and the sister was but four years old at that date; but the air was still throbbing with the echoes of the Puritans' hymns at Gainsborough and Scrooby, still vibrating with the hatred and cruelties of their persecutors, when Elizabeth and Michael and Robert learned to read and began to understand what Christianity really meant. Besides, a second veritable Pilgrim company under the leadership of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers assembled at Rowley, in Yorkshire, only a score of miles north of their home, and came in the year 1637 and founded Rowley in Massachusetts; and the young men, when making an occasional trip down the Ancholme and along the Humber to Kingston upon Hull (commonly called Hull), must have heard about that minister and the people who composed that church colony.
At all events, the trio of Howsham Emersons actually came over to our Rowley and joined with those Yorkshire folk in due time, probably about the year 1650. Eliza- beth's husband, Thomas Lilford, was a resident of new Rowley for some years; Robert married a Rowley girl and probably lived at that plantation before making his home in Haverhill. We may reasonably beheve that their motive in coming across the Atlantic was not to escape persecution, but to better their condition; that
16 EMERSON GENEALOGY
the lure of a new country drew them; and that they kept in the western world all manner of love and tender thoughts for the father and mother and brothers and sisters and other kinsfolk who remained in the valley of the Ancholme and up in the wold where Sereby lay. The father's will shows his undiminished love for the children, certainly.
