This is my first attempt to use this search resource. I am trying to find out something about an ancestor of mine, William AVERY. Believe he was born in GA ca 1805 and died in Giles County, TN between 1830 and 1840. Cause of death may have been involvement in a gun fight, and children may have been raised by the Wheeler family.
