Jim Avery's Page

Hi, Jim ... Thanks for your inquiry re: my Wheeler, Perry, and Colby lines, and a possible Avery line.

Your Wheeler and Perry lines do not match up with mine since my Wheeler line is from Albany, New York and my Perry line is rather short and is from New York.  Prior to New York I have Joseph, Sr. (1773-1841) and Joseph, Jr., but I do not know where they were located.

I have but one Avery, Eliza Avery (1838-1893) who married Elias Brown (1817-1887).

My Colby line is from Amesbury, MA and, prior to that, from Horbling, Lincolnshire, England.  If you have not been in contact with Ronald Colby already, I suggest you contact him   His website is located at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~colby/ which also gives his contact information.  He is a wealth of knowledge on the Colby line and I feel sure he would be most interested in seeing George Colby's set of journals.

Hi Jim

Thank you for your offer.

Do you have any images for a Rose Davis Alexander? She died May 1909 in Lisbon. Her husband was Melford Alexander. Rose would be the sister of my 3 x greatgrandfather Thomas who left Southampton, England, in 1870 and settled in Quebec's Eastern Townships. Their brother Arthur and Frederick immigrated. I believe Arthur moved to the States.

Sorry I took so long with my answer. I do not believe so. I will look in more detail when I view my family tree the next time. However, I do not recall Elmira Flats in my family tree as a location. Best wishes in your researrch.

Jim, We believe my G-Grandfather, John McGinty was in the Civil War, but not sure. My father use to say my grandfather told him John McGinty & a brother worked on the levees, but not sure. We can not find any information on him, just his marriage to Mary Barker, can not find any information on her.Where do you work & would they have any names or info across from where you work? Happy New Year

No, I do not have a connection to Duffy's cut, and unless Beth has a connection to the many McBride's of Kennsington Port Richmond section of the city, in particular St. Anne's parish, I dont have a Beth McBride in the family. Sorry would be nice to make the connection if there is one,

Jim,

 There are Avery on The PAWeb Project.

No Jim,but I really do not know. Have you tried joyce tice in the PA project.

Hello Jim, My Avery ancestors were from Herstmonceaux, Sussex.  The first Avery was Ann Avery who married Richard Eastland in 1722 at Etchingham, Sussex.  I can trace the line to Edward Avery born 1596 at Warbleton, Sussex.  Rhis is farther back than your family- but maybe there is a connection.

Hi Jim,

In response to your questions about my Raudebaughs: They were in Berks, Pa then moved to Juniata in the early 1830s.  They arrived in Wayne, Ohio in 1838.  I do not believe they are connected with your Raudebaughs, as none of the names in your list are familiar.  It is possible that there is a connection farther back in the mid-1700s but I don't know it.  As for the Native American connection, while many of us have stories of a inner-marriage, my DNA shows strictly European, which was quite disillusioning considering our family legends.  BUT I recently saw a show on the History channel that the Cherokees actually have European DNA, different from other Native Americans.  So all of us who thought we were Cherokees, may in reality have that connection after all!  So much  to learn.  Sorry I haven't been much help on your question.
