2. | Thomas EMERSON was christened on 26 Jul 1584 in Bishops Stortford, Heretfordshire, England (son of Robert EMERSON and Susanna CRABBE); died on 1 May 1666 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. Notes: Several sites give he and his wife's christening/birth dates on the same day in towns that were 135 miles apart though this believed to be an error in transcription along the way. His wife's birthdate is not known. It has been proven that Major-General Denison, a close friend of Thomas, who was mentioned in Thomas' will, emigrated from Bishop's-Stratford. Thomas Emerson was probabably born in Sedsfield Parish, Durham, England. He was baptized at Bishop's-Stratford, England, July 26, 1584 and was married July 1, 1611 in that parish to Elizabeth Brewster. Their children were recorded in St. Michael's Church at Bishop's Stratford as: Robert, Benjamin, Ralph, James, Joseph, Elizabeth, John, Thomas, Nathaniel and Susan. According to the church warden's book of St. Michael's, he is recorded as a collector for the poor in 1636. He was at Ipswich, Massachusetts, as early as 1638, when 80 acres of land was granted to him. English records indicate the family was non-conformist. Thomas married Elizabeth BREWSTER on 1 Jul 1611. Elizabeth was born before 1598 in of Scrooby, Bassetlaw District, Nottinghamshire, England; died on 10 Aug 1638 in Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |

4. | Robert EMERSON was born in 1561; was christened on 25 Oct 1561 in Great Dunmow, Essex, England (son of Thomas EMERSON); died on 6 Jan 1620 in Bishops Stortford, Heretfordshire, England. Notes: The Coat of Arms was granted to Radus/Ralf Emerson in 1535 of Foxton, co. Durham, England who is a presumed ancestor of Robert. Robert Emerson owned twelve acres in Bishop's Stortford, called Haggle's Dale, England. It is thought that he is the same Robert Emerson who was baptised in Dunmow. In his will proved 1620, he is listed as a "currier" and landholder of Bishop's Stortford. He probably was a migrant from Essex, and the son of Thomas Emerson, of Great Dunmow, baptized 1561. Great Dunmow and Bishop's Stortford are within seven miles of each other. The Stortford Register begins in 1561 and no Emersons appear till Robert married there in 1578 leading to the conclusion that he came from elsewhere. The same remark applies to his father Thomas, of Great Dunmow; the Register begins in 1537, and the first baptism is in 1561. Robert married Susanna CRABBE on 24 Nov 1578 in Bishops Stortford, East Hertfordshire, England. Susanna (daughter of John CRABBE and Margerie SCAWYN) was born in 1556 in Bishops Stortford, Heretfordshire, England; died on 20 Nov 1626 in Bishops Stortford, Heretfordshire, England.
