Per "The Groton Avery Clan" Page 117:
James4 Avery and his wife were members of the church at Groton before the ordination, Nov. 22, 1727. He was brander of horses for Groton, 1705; constable, 1707-8; on list of freemen, 1708-11. He was selectman from 1731 to 1742 inclusive, and moderator most of that time. He was deputy to the general court for fifteen terms (1715-1731); justice for New London County, 1726 1735; guardian of the Pequot Indians after his father's death; commissioned ensign of the first company of the Groton train band, 1716; lieut., 1721; capt., 1728 (Conn. Col. Rec., 5:489, 548,
572 & 6:2, 42, 270, 439, 514 & 7:2, 88, 124, 149, 152, 191, 250, 293, 311, 346). He was often called James Avery, 3d. In 1730, he was one of the committee to take care of the town guns. He was given lot No. 18, in the division of the common lands.
He received many gifts of land from his father. March 15,
1717, James Avery, sen., out of love for his son James and for his "more Comfortable subsistance and Lively hood" made over to him divers parcels: sixty acres of land lying in Sheinerset Neck bought of Samuel Chapman; twenty acres bought of the widow Hannah Bushnell; the salt meadow bought of Joseph Latham, deceased; another salt meadow of two acres; a hundred acres of land bought of William Denison; nine acres bought of Samuel Raymond; three lots containing seventy-seven acres more or less; thirty acres also bought of Samuel Chapman. The witnesses were John Avery and Samuel Avery (Groton Deeds, 2:394).
James4 Avery made his will March 28, 1749; it was proved Sept. 21, 1754 (New London Wills, F:535). He mentioned wife; sons, James Avery, 2d, John Avery, jun., Ebenezer Avery, jun.; and daughter, Hannah Hall. He divided his movable estate into four parts, one for each child. His son, Elihu, and his dau., Prudence, were dead. He made no mention of Mary. Possibly an undecipherable stone that stands beside that of Prudence in the Avery-Morgan burying-ground,(*) and of the same style and size, may mark the resting place of Mary. She was alive June 17, 1731, at which time, Hannah, Mary and Prudence were admitted to full communion in the First Church of Groton. The first three children were bap. in the First Church of New London, the second in the name of his wife (May 26, 1700), he being under discipline for signing the remonstrance (See p. 87). The other baptisms were probably recorded in the lost book of the Groton church. His wife died Nov. 26, 1750, at Groton, aged 76 (Tombstone). He died Sept. 18, 1754, at Groton; both were buried in the Avery-Morgan burying-ground.

(*)This Avery-Morgan burying-ground is near Poquonock Bridge in the town of Groton.
From "The Groton Avery Clan" Page 118

In the list of children, as printed in Sweet's Averys of Groton, appears the name of a "Thomas, born as is supposed in 1717, but no further record." Careful search has revealed no trace of this apocryphal Thomas.
