Notes par Capt. James Avery

(3) Capt. James Avery, only son of Christopher the emigrant, born in England in 1620, died 18 April 1700; married 10 November 1643, in Boston, Joanna Greenslade, born about 1622, was living in 1693. James built a home in Groton, New London County, Connecticut, in 1656 which was continuously occupied by his descendants until it burned down on the night of 20 July 1894. A memorial stands on the old home site as do the original cornerstones, well, and chimney supports. The "Hive" of the Averys, was built in 1656 by Capt. James Avery on Poquonock Plain, now Groton, Connecticut. When the family grew large enough for an addition to be needed, James purchased the old church used by Rev. Thomas Hooker, dismantled it, and incorporated its timbers into the structure of the house. When the house burned down in 1894, millionaire John D. Rockefeller, a descendant of James, placed a bronze plaque on the old home site as a memorial which still stands today.

History of Essex County, Massachusetts with Biographic Sketches of Many of its Pioneers and Prominent Men, compiled under the supervision of D. Hamilton Hurd., V. II, Illustrated, Philadelphia, J. W. Lewis & Co., 1888, pg.1302 -1303.
"The permanent settlement of Gloucester, possibly began in 1631. The tradition is that Abraham Robinson, a son of the old pastor of the Pilgrims at Leyden, Rev. John Robinson, came with his mother and her family, to Plymouth, in 1630, and that the following year Robinson and a few others sailed over from Plymouth, and landing at Annisquam, were so well satisfied with the conveniences which it seemed to afford for the fishing business that they set up a fishing-stage, and made preparation for the accommodation of their families. There may be some doubt as to the paternity of Abraham Robinson, as no such name occurs in any list of children of the Rev. John Robinson, but that a person of that name settled on the Cape about 1631 there is good reason to believe. The Rev. Eli Forbes, in a sermon given in the First Parish Meeting-house, in 1792, quoted from what he called an " Ancient Manuscript,'1 which is unfortunately lost, that there were settlers on the Cape as early as 1633, who " met and carried on the worship of God among themselves, read the word of God, prayed to Him and sung psalms." We may therefore safely take the last-mentioned date as fixing the time for permanent settlers. In 1639 the General Court passed an " act for the encouragement of Mr. Maurice Thompson, merchant, and others, who intend to promote the fishing-trade," in which it was " ordered that a fishing-plantation should be begun at Cape Ann, and that the said Mr. Thompson should have places assigned for the building of houses, and stages, and other necessaries for that use ; and shall have sufficient lands allowed for their occasions, both for their fishing and for keeping of cattle, and corn, etc. ; and that such other fishermen as will join in the way of fishing, and inhabit there, shall have such lauds and other liberties there as shall be needful and fit for their occasions." "Mr. Endi- cott, Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Winthrop, Jun., Mr. William Pierce and Joseph Grafton," or any three of them, were empowered by the court " to set out the said plantation and all lauds and other accommodations to such as should be planted there ; and none to be settled there but by their allowance." The General Court, also, for the encouragement of such settlers as would engage in this branch of industry, and in especial expectation that Mr. Thompson would establish the business, passed an act granting to fishing establishments certain privileges and exemptions. But Mr. Thompson did not take advantage of the legislation in his favor, except to erect a frame on a lot at the harbor. He is represented as having been a merchant in London, who was at one time engaged in the Canadian beaver-trade.

As late as 1650, in a grant of land by the town authorities, the contingency of Mr. Thompson's coming is provided for. The town records, under date of 4th month, 1650, say : " Will Southmead hath given him that psell of land in the harbour upon which Mr. Tomson's frame stood; provided yt if Mr. Tomson or his agent shall demand it, that then upon compensation for the charges about it, this said grant is to be surrendered up."
At a General Court, October, 1641, the Deputy Governor, (Mr. Endicott), and Messrs. Downing and Hathorne, deputies from Salem, were appointed commissioners to view and settle the boundaries of Ipswich, Cape Ann, and Jeffries' Creek (now Manchester) ; and to dispose of all land and other things at Cape Ann.
The commissioners subsequently appointed the following named eight men to manage the affairs of the plantation for 1642 : William Stevens, Mr. Sadler, Obadiah Bruen, George Norton, William Addes, Thomas Milward, Mr. Fryer, and Walter Tybott. They probably had charge of all affaire, although most of the orders issued by them, relate to highways, trees, and timber. How many people were then residing on the Cape it is impossible to say. But about this time a large and influential accession was made to the population by the coming of Rev. Richard Blynman with several families from Plymouth. In May, 1642, the settlement was incorporated by the simple form then employed, and called Gloucester, from Gloucester in England, the native place of several of the settlers. How many came with Rev. Mr. Blynman cannot be scertained, as no discrimination is made in the town records, between the earliest and later inhabitants.
Mr. Babson gives the following list of persons who are believed to comprise all known to have been residents, or proprietors of the soil, from 1633 to the close of 1650.
William Addes. Christopher Avery. Junes Avery. Willliun A«h. Thomas Ashley. label Babson. Jftmea BabeoD. Almander Baker. Richard Bet-ford. George Blake. Richard BlynmaD. OlMdiah Bruen. John Bourne.

Two-thirds of these eighty-two subsequently emigrated to other places, but the remainder continued to be citizens of Gloucester. Mr. Babson estimated that not more than ten of the names given above "are perpetuated by families now (1860) living in town, though descendants of several others in the female line are numerous.1'"
