William H AVERY born about 1840 NY. Parents unknown. However he is buried in Mt Auburn Cemetery with wife Sarah TRIPP and a Thompson AVERY who may be his father or an uncle??? I do not know who Thompson's first wife was, but later he was married to Jemima TRIPP. These marriages took place in Kendall Co Ill in 1862 and 1865. They then came to Benton Co Ia. William and Sarah had children Allison, Melville, Frank, Eunice, Emma and Roy. Would appreciate any info on any of these names and would like to verify what relation Thompson and Jemima are to William H. If anyone has any info no matter how small, I would appreciate hearing from you. William H has been a real challenge because there were several William AVERY and several Sarah TRIPP in Illinois and it has been difficult to trace which ones married each other and came to Iowa. HELP!!! Also then I have more dates and info to share for anyone else interested in these names.
