There is a great deal of confusion around John Emery Senior and Junior and their wives and John Webster. Abraham Hammatt in his " - Papers' subtitled Early Inhabitants of Ipswich has the widow of John Webster married to John Emery senior and the widow of John Emery senior is listed as dead in Newbury on 28 Apr 1694 in Newbury vital record compilation done in 1911 by the Essex institute. Oddly enough the death of Senior is also recorded there, but not Junior. Newbury vital records also report a marriage of a John Emery to a Mary Webster, but while the genealogies all have Junior's wife as daughter the Vital records list her as widow of John Webster of Ipswich. Ould Newbury has Junior married to the daughter of John and Mary Webster. Ipswich Vital records reports no children of John and Mary, no Webster marriages or deaths. The John and Anthony Emery genealogy by Rufus Emery in 1888 has the widow Webster married to senior. On reflection it would make more sense unless we are talking two entirely different lines.

The surname Webster is of ancient English origin, being a trade name, a colloquial term for weaver. The most important English family of this name claims descent from John Webster, who was a resident of Bolsover, Derbyshire, in the reign of Henry IV., and whose descendants are settled in Essex, in which county as well as in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Henry IV. granted John Webster large estates about 1400. The Scotch family oí Webster, very likely also descended from this John Webster, were in Edinburghshire before 1700, probably not long before that date, however. There is no other family of this surname in Scotland bearing arms, though descendants are found in other sections of the country.

The surname Webster is of ancient English origin, being a trade name, a colloquial term for weaver. The most important English family of this name claims descent from John Webster, who was a resident of Bolsover, Derbyshire, in the reign of Henry IV., and whose descendants are settled in Essex, in which county as well as in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire Henry IV. granted John Webster large estates about 1400. The Scotch family oí Webster, very likely also descended from this John Webster, were in Edinburghshire before 1700, probably not long before that date, however. There is no other family of this surname in Scotland bearing arms, though descendants are found in other sections of the country.
