I know her mothr was Sarah Waite and I later found out her fathers name was William Avery, I think his middle name must have been Herman because in the information I have he was called Herman. I am trying to find information on Sarah Waite and William Avery, I have had know luck in finding anything more about them, I have hit a brick wall. My grandfather Chauncey Avery moved to Calhoun Co., MI and I found a book called, From the History of Calhoun County Micigan: A Narrative Account of its Historical Progress, Its People, By Washington Gardner. in it they talked about my great grandfather being born in Scadekuk, on the Hudson river in New York state. it said he was the son of William Avery, who was born at Mattewan, NY and was employed in a cotton factory and that was where he spent his en! tire life, dying in 1852.He married Sarah Waite,they had three children, Margaret, Chauncey, and William Louis.Thats all I have. Do you have any suggestions on where I mght find more information. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
