Form: Reply Text: (9 lines follow) Samuel Merwin Avery, born March 14, 1819, died September 8, 1904; married May 13, 1852, place unknown, Mary Jane Becker, daughter of John Becker and Janet (Jane) Broughton (Boughton). Samuel Merwin Avery is a descendant of Captain James Avery of Groton, CT. He and his wife are my great-great-great-grandparents and I have their family bible and pictures. I am trying to learn more about Mary Jane Becker's family, the Beckers and Broughtons. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

I have received a donation or a note telling me that someone had sent a donation directly to ROOTSWEB from 12 people for a total of $129! I have received many nice letters (only one disagreement letter) from subscribers thanking me for keeping the lists going, but the real thanks goes to Karen & Brian for making it possible for the lists to continue! I could not have kept EIGHT lists going much longer from my computer! AGAIN, a donation is NOT a requirement for being on this list or any other. As I understand it now, several other listowners are also asking for donations. If you have given something in the name of another list, that is GREAT! I do not expect you to donate to EVERY list that you belong to. I am trying to write everyone as I receive a donation from them, to let them know that I did receive their letter, but a few people did not include their e-mail address. Again, the addresses for donations are: Elaine J. Cornell 1800 The Greens Way, Apt. 1604 Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250-2432 OR RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative P.O.
