Thanks for the Avery/Geenslade info. I guess it's back to the drawing board on Joanna's parents. I feel there was an Abigail Ingraham married to an Edward Greenslade. Prob a gen. or two earlier than the James Avery's Abigail Ingraham. Jack Stewart ==== AVERY Mailing List ==== Unsubscribe? Send the message UNSUBSCRIBE to: AVERY-L-request@rootsweb.com or ....

I want to thank you both for the information on James Avery, son of Christopher Avery. I've recently married into the KNOTT family and my husbands' grandmother was an Avery. I've begun doing research on his line and Avery and Goodwin (his mother). I have a basic outline, but this has helped to fill in some holes.

Seeking information on the following families: Information taken from THEY FACED TOMORROW by Evelyn Smith Smith "Catherine (Cynthia Overton) was born in 1790, in Perquimans county, North Carolina. There, she married Vinson Avery on January 14, 1809. On January 2, 1808, Frederick Avery, Jr., Vinson's brother married Lecia Overton, Catherine's sister. Vinson and Frederick Avery, Jr., were the sons of Frederick Avery, Sr., and Susannah Avery, whose other children were Frederick, Jr., Sally, Nancy, and one more daughter. When Frederick Avery, SR., died in August 1800, Vinson's inheritance included a sow, 2 bull yearlings named Deck and Darby, and a cow named Lucky. Catherine and Vinson's only child, Willis was born October 17, 1809. Vinson, a sailor, made many trips back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean to England. Soon after his marriage to Catherine, Vinson died on one of these voyages, and was buried at sea. His brother, Frederic, vowed that he would always look after the infant Willis. After months of discussion, friends and relatives in Perquimans county decided to move to Tennessee and establish new homes. A wagon train was formed, and traveling with it over the Blue Ridge mountains were Catherine and her son Willis. By 1811, these pioneers were settled at Harper's Creek in Davidson county, Tennessee. There in the early spring of 1812, Catherine married William McCutcheon. Both were 22." I would appreciate any help.

Thompson AVERY was born about 1810 in Chenango Co NY son of Elisha AVERY and Bathia Thompson. Other children were: Chloe, Wales, Eveline, Elisha Jr and Jonathan.. Thompson married ist Amanda Reynolds and had son Charles. Amanda died and Thompson married a Betsy ?? and had son William H Avery born about 1840 NY and Frances. In 1860 La Salle and DeKalb Co IL census, Thompson and William were there. In 1863 Thompson married Jemima TRIPP. William H married Sarah A. TRIPP in 1865. In 1868 they were all in Benton Co Iowa and are buried there. I have the descendants from William H and Sarah that I will share if anyone has that line. I am interested in any info on Thompson AVERY and his parents Elisha and Bathia on back. Also on the the children of Thompson from his other marriages. Our AVERY List doesnt seem to get much information posted to it. I would like to see it get more active.

I am researching the parents of Catherine Avery. She was born in Leeds Co., Ontariio, Ca. (probably Mallorytown) sometime between 1812 and 1826. Various census have different ages. She married Dustin Ladd in Canetown, Leeds Co. Canada on Sept 13, 1841. They had 4 children in Canada then moved to Alexandria, Jefferson Co., NY about 1849. Three more children were born there. In 1864 she requested a pension (husband killed in CW), at that time she resided in Granby, Oswego Co.,NY. In 1870 she married Christopher Miller and lived in Hannibal, Oswego Co., NY. On the 1880 NY census, it states her parents were born in Conn. but that's all I know. If anyone knows more I'd greatly appreciate some help. Lynn ==== AVERY Mailing List ==== Unsubscribe?

General8,9,10,11,12,13,14: Born in England, about 1620, the Captain, which seems to be his title in all of the history books, emigrated to Gloucester at the age of ten with his father. Their origin is in doubt and much has been written concerning this. James married Joanna Greenslade in Boston, her hometown, on November 10, 1643. The Captain and his wife lived in Gloucester but relocated to New London. They had ten children, including James, Jr. Most of the settlers of New London came from Gloucester because Reverend Blinman, of Gloucester, was hired to be the minister of the Pequot Indian Plantation. A party of his local friends proposed to move with him. They made a preliminary trip to New London in October 1650, James included, when the records indicate that a James Averye received a land grant of 100 acres. The party then returned to Gloucester, where James sold his possessions to his father, and early in 1651 returned to New London. In March of 1651 the main body of settlers arrived. New London was initially settled in 1646 by a group of Puritans from Gloucester, north of Boston, the original travellers describing the land journey through the "wilderness" to get there. The original settlement was called the Pequot Settlement, after the local Indian tribe. The settlement was also called the Cape Ann colony, the original Avery home was located on Cape Ann Lane, the names referring to the Cape Ann area of Gloucester that the settlers came from. This settlement was on the west side of the mouth of the Thames River, which is in the middle of Connecticut on Long Island Sound. In 1656 the Captain bought extensive real estate several miles east of the river on the broad plains of Pequonoc. The original name for the homestead was Birch Plains and he lived there until his death, in 1694. The Captain was prominent in local affairs. He was a charter member of the first church, a magistrate on the bench, a member of the State Legislature for 14 years and also held most of the principal offices in the town of New London. Specifically he was a selectman in New London from 1660 to 1680. He was a judge in New London during most of the same period. He was commissioned an Ensign (Oct. 1662), Lieutenant (May 1665) and Captain (Aug. 1673) in the New London County Troop, and in the war against an American Indian Chief called Metacom, or the King Philip War (1675-1676) he was fifth in command. He was twice granted 100 acres of land by the government, 1668 and 1675. He received another 100 acres Oct. 19, 1650. He served as a representative on the General Court from 1655 to 1680 and as an assistant Judge of the Prerogative Court. He was commander of Pequot allies in the Narragansett War, an Indian operation in 1675. He was an Indian Overseer and a member of the New London Committee on Indians. Groton was not incorporated until 1705, before then it was part of New London town. The whole area is now called New London County, and many historical references refer to the area as just New London. This causes some confusion in trying to differentiate between the two towns and the un-incorporated areas of the county. New London is a fine port, and starting in 1784, it became home to about 75 whaling ships. The industry went into decline in the 1840s as the whale population was decimated and other products were found as cheaper substitutes for whale oil. New London was Nathan Hale's home, he was executed as a spy in 1776. It is the current home of the US Coast Guard Academy. New London's fine harbor stays relatively ice-free during the winter when such ports as New York freeze up. The first settlements were located on the Thames River. These first settlers were obviously proud of being from the London area. Groton, which became the Captain's home, has a fine harbor of its own, and currently has a large private deep-sea fishing industry, a US Navy submarine base, and is the home of General Dynamic's electric boat division, the countries largest submarine producer. The Indian trouble started almost as soon as settlers arrived, in 1636, although the major operations occurred during King Philips War (June 20, 1675 to Aug. 12, 1676). On May 26, 1637, 600 Pequot Indians were killed at the Indian Fort at Groton. Almost thirty years later, Metacom had a well trained and well led force of 800 and by the end of 1675 he had the Eastern border towns of Connecticut so worried of attack that the General Assembly ordered every county to raise sixty dragoons, "well mounted, equipped and provisioned, to be ready when called to aid in the defense of the colony." Captain Avery was placed at the head of forty Englishmen from New London, Stonington and Lyme, "with as many Pequots as he should deem necessary to protect that part of the country, and to annoy the enemy at his discretion(sic)." His operation lasted through the rest of 1675 and into 1676. Metacom was the chief of the Wampanoags, one of five tribes that made up the Five Nations, a group of Indian tribes covering most of New England. The origin of the "war" is uncertain, but appears to have resulted because of the general incompatibilities of the colonization process to the local Indians. Missionaries had been successful in pacifying other local tribes. Metacom was finally tracked down by soldiers and killed in August of 1676, leaving New England at peace after more than a year of torture and betrayal on both sides. There were 10,000 Indians in the area but missionaries were never able to convert more than a quarter of them to Christianity. About the same time that British jurist Sir Edward Coke was delivering the eminently quotable line concerning " a man's home is his castle," the Captain bought large tracts of land at Groton and built his own castle, the "Hive of the Avery's" in 1656. The Hive was located in the town of Groton, across the river from New London, on the east side of the river. The Avery mansion survived over 250 years and was illustrative of the times. The house grew bit by bit. Ten years before his death, in 1684, the Captain was too feeble to leave the house for church services, so for �6 he purchased his old church on the west side of the river. This was the same church Reverend Blinman preached in for thirty years. James had it dismantled and rebuilt onto his own house, and used it for church services until his death. The center of life for the American colonist was not the church or the parlor, but the kitchen, with its huge stone fireplace. In the other rooms the rafters were bare beams and the floors raw boards, but in the kitchen, there was room near the hearth for children to play and watch their mother cook in large iron pots. In these kettles were hasty pudding and cornmeal porridge, while corn dumplings were baked on the side of the hearth. If the colonialist travels, he takes with him no-cake or Indian corn, which is corn parched in ashes and carried in a leather bag. The dwelling houses of higher class people in those days always consisted of at least two stories, but the Hive also had two chimneys and for years the house was called the "two chimney house" because it was the only one in town with two chimneys. Building in those days consisted of exposed beams, second stories overhanging the first and walls of clay with wooden siding on both sides, called clap-boards ever since. House paint was never used in those early days, and did not come into general use until about 1730. The Avery house was never painted until a century later. Bread was made from rye and Indian corn and only the very rich could afford wheat flour. The use of coffee was unheard of until about 1770, until then people drank water and roasted rye. Wallpaper came into use about 1783 and carpeted floors much later. The professions of the early Avery's are never stated in the history books but we can assume they were mostly farmers, probably everyone in these early settlements farmed, it was the only way to survive. Ebenezer Avery, the Captain's grand-son born at The Hive, who married Dorothy Parke, greatly extended the Avery property, on which they lived. By the time of Ebenezer's death in 1732, the grounds went from Dunbar's Mill (which was still standing in 1892) north of the Stonington turnpike to Eastern Point, and from the Great River to the Thames River. Dorothy and Ebenezer had six children including Ebenezer Jr., who is our direct ancestor, and Parke Avery, who became the owner of the mansion. Parke continued the practice of holding church services in the mansion, often preaching himself, without collecting tithes. Parke Avery was wounded at Fort Griswold during the attack by Benedict Arnold, and nine other Avery's were killed in the same battle. Ironically Parke was one of a committee of six who contracted to build Fort Griswold in 1775, when the War of Independence threatened. Many Averys were also wounded, but more on that fight later. The family mansion remained occupied until it burned down on July 21, 1894, when a spark from a passing train ignited its well seasoned timbers. Nothing remained but its chimneys. A few years later the chimneys were taken down, the lot graded and a monument erected by Avery descendants. The Avery Monument was dedicated on July 20, 1900. Avery descendant John D. Rockefeller helped fund the construction of the monument. Today it is called the "Avery Memorial" and is located on US route #1 in Groton. Sources 1. Hurd, D. Hamilton.

Hello, Can anyone help me track my g-grandmother Elizabeth Ann AVERY back in time? She (23, spinster) married Thomas SMITH (20, bachelor, miner) on November 27th 1888 in the Parish Church of Longbenton, Northumberland, England, after banns. Her father was Robert Avery, miner; residence at the time of marriage was Gosforth Colliery. I have them in the 1891 census OK (place of birth given as Durham), and have their children later, BUT I can't find Elizabeth Ann's family before the marriage, in the census indexes for Northumberland or Durham. There is no Elizabeth A. Avery of remotely like the right age living in a household whose head is Robert Avery.

Mary, In your searching for Cyprian Avery, and/or Jasper Avery's family, I would be grateful if you would keep your eye out for Amy Avery, born abt 1775, probably in CT. She married Adolphus Downer abt 1800. Adolphus was from Preston, New London Co., CT. I suspect that Amy was also from the same area. =Cheryl Hemingway chemingw@inet.net ==== AVERY Mailing List ==== Unsubscribe? Send the message UNSUBSCRIBE to: AVERY-L-request@rootsweb.com or ....

To all of you wonderful Averys who have sent me material about my Avery mystery, thank you! I shall write each of you as soon as I get it all sorted out. Meanwhile, I have a new request. Does anyone have the family of "Jasper Avery, born 1743, Groton, Ct., died 6 Sep. 1781, Fort Griswold, Ct. Md. Elizabeth Smith."? I am trying to get where I want to be from another angle.

The Mormon Ancestral File has Elisha Avery (AFN: JRT1-3C), born Apr 6 1755 at Groton, New London, CT, son of Ebenezer Avery (b 1704) and Lucy Latham. This is not my direct Avery line, but I also have three Ebenezers in mine, so I had to work out the relationship of all these Ebenezer's to keep my own straight. The Ancestral File is in error concerning my Ebenezer (b 1760). They have him as a sibling of Elisha, however his mother was not Lucy Latham. Therefore I cannot vouch for this relationship and do not have anything else concerning Elisha. My Xerox copies of the Groton Avery Clan do not include Elisha. I think I just muddied the water here?

In the Barbour Collection, I found family of Ebenezer Avery who married Lucy Latham, 16 Jun 1726. Son listed was Ebenezer, born 7 Mar 1732/33. The son of Ebenezer Jr. was Elisha, born 6 Apr 1755. In this area I do not have access to this collection, having seen it while on a trip. I have an Elisha who married Elizabeth Armstrong, some sons born in 1790s, living in Malta, Saratoga Co., NY. His father was supposedly Ebenezer but the family was erronously linked to the Groton Avery family years ago. Can someone untangle this mess for me?
