AVERY family
I belong to a My Family group known as the FamGenOs. Although few of us have met in person, we have become good friends through the medium of the site. Occasionally we find a name we think might link two people, but generally it does not pan out. I had that experience last week. The name Fitch was mentioned, and I said I had some. When I went to look, I discovered I had Finch, not Fitch. Somehow in this on-going discussion the name Avery was brought up. It turns out that Agatha, with whom I was primarily corresponding on this subject, is also descended from James Avery.
While in Boston a couple of weeks ago, I had been looking for other wills, but fell upon Avery ones, so copied them. Serendipity! Now I have copies of the microfilm of the wills as recorded by the clerk of the court in the will books. I also have inventories, and a variety of other ducuments. I have just started to transcribe them, but will publish them here as I get them done. So far I have only transcribed the will of James Avery, Jr., son of THE James Avery. (Unfortunately my notes aren't at work so I can't give you dates. If anyone is interested, I will be glad to look them up and post them.
The Avery family members from whom I am descended married into the Comsticks, who married into the Chapels, bringing us back once again to the renegade Mathew.

I just found your blog and it is great.
You mentioned the name Avery. Any chance from CT?
How can I get on a feed for your blog? Still trying to figure this one out!

I just found your blog. My father's name was Avery Rivel Mead, so now I wonder if there is also an Avery link. That gives me another direction. Thanks

Subject: Caleb Martin m. Hannah Mead
Hi, Caleb Martin b.1795, VT, d.1842, Niagara, NY, is my 5th great grandfather. He married Hannah Mead b.1795 Cornwall, VT, d.1855 Kent Co, MI. I am looking for info on the Parents,
grandparents of Caleb Martin. I have a book about the Mead family that has their marriage in it, but no info about Caleb Martin.
Thanks,
