Note 1675:
These householders were prohibited from building on Common land as earlier householders had been permitted to do. Before 1675 grants of land were seldom recorded in the town book at the time they were laid out. Thus Robert Emerson acquired considerable land through purchase. Since he does not seem to have had a trade he devoted full time to farming.
Note 1679:
He held this position 10 years after his brother Micheal. This job indicates that he was not only literate but could keep accounts although later in life when he made his will poor vision or other incapacity forced him to not write it himself and to make an X instead of signing it. The respect of his fellows is shown by the following record:
"February 22, 1686/7. Robert Emerson openly moved for to know by whom the bridge over the Fishing river at his house is to be made. In answer to it the selectmen are ordered to take effectual care about the matter proposed."
Note 1683:
Robert Emerson along with the minister and 12 others voted to buy the house where Henry Palmer lived and died for use of the ministry forever and to place the new meeting house upon the old site but they were voted down by 34 including Michael Emerson. The next year two men offered their houses for sale for the ministry and Wm. Startin's was accepted. He was paid with 10 acres of land on Fishing River near Robert Emerson's. Not until 1698 did the vote pass to move into the new meeting house when almost finished. Those who hadn't wanted it in the first place voted against it--among them Michael Emerson and two of his sons, Johnathan and Joshua Emerson."
