DeKalb County Illinois Marriages Book B: William H AVERY married Miss Harriet Hinsdale Aug 14, 1862 #360 Oak Ridge Cemetery, Sandwich, Illinois: Hattie E. Hinsdale AVERY wife Wm 17 yr, 10 mon, 10 day Oct 10, 1862 Charles G. AVERY 1862-1906 Kendall Co Illinois Marriages: William H AVERY married Sarah A. TRIPP Sept 7, 1865 Thompson AVERY married Jemima TRIPP Jan 20, 1863 Can anyone tell me for fact that the William H AVERY above who married Hattie Hinsdale in 1862, is the same William H AVERY who married Sarah A Tripp in 1865???? Also, can anyone tell me what AVERY family, this William H AVERY comes from? He was born in NY about 1840. Went to Illinois and was in the 1860 Somonauk Township, Sandwich P.O Census listed as Farm Hand with the Joseph Latham Family. Was he related to the Latham family? He then went into the Civil War from Somonauk, and when he got out in 1865, married Sarah A Tripp in Kendall Co. There were several Sarah Tripps at that time also. I believe he married the Sarah Tripp who was the daughter of Benjamin and Jemima TRIPP who were in La Salle Co in 1850 Census and the Kendall Co Little Rock Census in 1860. I believe Benjamin Tripp died and Jemima married Thompson AVERY in 1863. Is Thompson AVERY the father of William H AVERY??? They all ended up in Benton Co Iowa after 1868 and are all buried together in the Mt Auburn Ia Cemetery there. Can anyone please offer any info on these facts?? I am having a terrible time tracing this William H AVERY further until I can find his parents names. William H AVERY lived in Benton Co Ia Cedar Township Section 25 In the meantime, hope this info has helped someone else out also. PWeber3402@aol.com
