Hi Marvin: I have a feeling we have gone thru once before and could not find a connection - were you able to catch up with JZuccarini@aol.com? She has worked on an Avery/Avera line that seems to have come from NC, a brief time in SC and then GA before moving to other places..... I do however, have: Marlin Travis KELLEY married: Caroline Avary/Avery 18 Sept 1920 Clayton Co.GA 10 Kelley offspring from this liason James Allen ODOM married: Catherine Elizabeth L Avary/Avery 9 April 1890 Wynewood (Indian Territory), OK 9 Odom offspring fromthis liason No Gaar, Greers, Gaither, Pople (although I do have a POPE not connected with Avary), Colvin, Sealy, Roddye, copelands, Jeter.. BUCKNER is worthly of further checking as we are working on another Avery line in VA with Buckner / Avery / Tillman/House connection.... One of the Farrar lines also had Buckner. I have seen reference to Avery/Buckner connection not only VA, but parts of GA and MS, LA..... We have never eliminated possibility that both Avery lines in VA are somehow connected, but no legitimate link so far. Let's keep in touch. Mary Avary Whittier
