Notities over Jonathan Avery

From "The Groton Avery Clan" - Page 126:
Jonathan Avery was a farmer and trader; lived near the ferry in Groton and traded in horses to the West Indies. He was on the list of Groton freemen, 1708; and with his wife was in full communion with the First Church of Groton, Nov. 22, 1727. He had lot No. 15 in the assignment of lots on the cove. He died in Cuba, of yellow fever, about 1741.

Re their children: Pages 126 and 127:
The above differs greatly from the record as given in Sweet's The Averys of Groton. There were two Jonathan Averys, each with a son Jonathan. One was a son of James; it is supposed that the other was a son of Thomas. (See No. 30.) One married Elizabeth Bill; the other married Elizabeth Waterman. Mr. Sweet says (page 31) that Jonathan the son of James married Elizabeth Waterman; he also says (page 325) that Jonathan the son of Thomas married Elizabeth Bill. Both statements are wrong; the two Jonathans must exchange places. The following reasons have forced the change:
(1). The Rev. David Avery, in his manuscript history of the family, says that Jonathan, the son of James Avery, and his son, Jonathan, "went in the expedition to take Cartagena and Cuba and they both died in the expedition at Cuba." Jonathan Avery, son of Abner (No. 87 above), says in his diary that his grandfather, Jonathan Avery, traded in horses to the West Indies and died there of yellow fever. Evidently, both these records refer to the same Jonathan, and so the father of Abner must have been Jonathan the son of James.
(2). The following deed shows that the Jonathan Avery who had a son, Jonathan, living and old enough to hold property in 1728, was the son of James. The Jonathan Avery who married Elizabeth Bill had a son, Jonathan, born 1703, who married in 1724, and was living on a farm in Groton in 1728. The Jonathan Avery who married Elizabeth Waterman did not have a son, Jonathan, until 1743 and so, according to this deed, could not have been the son of James.

New London Run on the North with Capt. William Lathams Land, on

Groton, Aug. 16, 1728.
(See Groton Deeds, Book 1, p. 392.)
(3). In addition to the three children assigned by Mr. Sweet (page 31) to Jonathan Avery and his second wife Dorothy (Denison) Copp were Uriah, born Aug. 23, 1760, and Olive, who was baptized at Norwich, May 29, 1763. If the father of this Olive was Jonathan the son of James, he must have been 82 years old at the time of her baptism, and could not have died in Cuba about 1741, as stated by the Rev. David Avery, an unimpeached and wholly trustworthy witness.
(4). The Jonathan Avery who married Elizabeth Waterman made his will in July 29, 1783, at which time, if he was the son of James, he must have been 102 years old. Further, his estate was inventoried July 28, 1792, his will having been probated only four days before. The remarkable age of 111 years would not have passed unnoted.
For these sufficient reasons we give the record as above.
