In 1714, it would seem that there was a new church building in Groton and that Captain James3 Avery was one of the committee to seat it. The first names on the list of those in full communion with the church are those of Captain James3 Avery and his wife. They lived at the head of Poquonock plain. He is generally spoken of as James Avery, Jr.
March 15, 1717, in a deed of lands to his oldest son, James3 Avery directed the payment of ten pounds money to each of "my
five daughters," Deborah Allyn, Margaret Morgan, Hannah Morgan, Sarah Latham, and Mary Morgan. In many deeds, dated about this time but not entered on the books until his death, he provided liberally for his sons. March 15, 1717, he mentioned sons James, Edward, Ebenezer, Christopher, Jonathan, Joseph and Benjamin, and left each a seventh part of his "arms as guns and swords" also land in "Pawgounck." (New London Wills, C:373).
When the Rev. Thomas Prince was collecting material for his History of New England, he received the following from Groton:
Groton, April 22, 1728.
An account of the Age, Death and Posterity of Capt. James Avery.
He died in the 83d year of his age, leaving 12 children alive, 11 of whom
attended his funeral with their mother who was in the 78th year of her
age. They lived together in the married state 61 years and 6 mos.
Three score and five of his family attended his funeral. His children
living at the time of his death were 7 sons and 5 daughters; the posterity
arising from them 114 souls, 41 grandsons, 14 great grandsons, 47
grand daughters, 12 great grand daughters--114. (Conn. Hist. Society
Publications, 3:317.)
The date of this document is not correct. James Avery Jr., died August 22, 1728, at Groton (Groton Records). Joshua Hempstead, in his diary which has been published, writes under date of August 24, 1728: "Capt. Ja. Avery & Dea. Manasseh Minor of Stonington both buried & upwards of 80 years" (p. 201). Mrs. Deborah Avery died March 27, 1729 (Groton Records). Wednesday, March 26, 1729. "Mrs. Avery died aged 78 years, widow of Capt. James" (Hempstead's Diary).
Only two generations of this family are listed in the Carlisle/Canady Genealogy file. For further generations see"
