Note Family:
From Jane Emerson James book, p. 1: "Michael and Robert Emerson and their sister, Elizabeth (Emerson) Lilford, came to America from Lincolnshire, England ca. the 1650's. No record seems to have been found showing exactly when they arrived or on what ship or ships. It seems probable to me that Elizabeth, who was older, came first to a marriage ca. 1643 that may have been arranged by friends and that her brothers, Michael and Robert followed later. In 1643 Elizabeth was 27, Michael, 16 and Robert 14. We may never know nor may we be able to do more than speculate as to why they elected to become pioneers in the new land.
Charles Henry Pope wrote, "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 at hand.
The valley of the Ancholme wherein Cadney parish lies was only a 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 Scooby, 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, traveling 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 familiar 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 hatred and cruelties of their persecutors, when Elizabeth, Michael and Robert learned to read and begin to understand what Christianity really meant. Besides, a second veritable Pilgrim company under the leadership of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers assembled at Rowley, in Yorkshire, 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. Elizabeth'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 believe that their motive in coming across the Atlantic was not to escape persecution, but to.better their condition; that 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 kinfolk who remained in the valley of the Ancholrre and up in the wold where Sereby lay. The father's will shows his undiminished love for the children certainly."
