I have set up an Avery discussion group. There are 26 Avery researchers on here. I thought by putting our heads together we might find some common relatives and breakdown our brick walls. Please feel free to drop in and post your Avery lines.
Hi Lynda - we exchanged comments on here a while back. You were looking for a Mark Avery who married a Helen. In Jefferson Co WI 1850 census there is a Mary Avery b. 1821 who was living with a Helen and Sophia Avery. Mary's occupation was a cooper. Could this be Mark and the enumerator goofed? If so this person was born in NY. Could you check your Avery book and see if there is a Hezekiah Avery mentioned? I believe the Hezekiah who found in the Civil War from WI could have roots in the same area as mine and be a son of Abijah Avery. Could you also please check your book for for Abijah or Hezekiah? I appreciate your help on this.
