Avery's birthplace so far is unknown to me...he is my g grandfather and moved to Iowa at some time. Avery's had a township in Ia named for them but I have been unable to locate where it was. Read it was near north Ia border, yet near Humboldt, Ia. also. He was related to Avery's in Humboldt.

My father in law, Warren Knapton, grew up on the Colby farm in Henniker, NH with Al Colby and Buelah; she was a telephone operator in Henniker Center. I forwarded this information to Warren so he could add information if you would like.

At 2:17am on August 8, 2009, Barbara Byrne said…: Hi, Not that I know of about the Byrne's in NY but I've only got my late husband's father and grandfather so I'm not very far on but I think they were Irish. Thanks anyway. I don't suppose you know of a William Steward who married someone called Mae and lived in the first place in Mosby, Montana in the early 1900's? I can't seem to find their marriage or death certificates. William and his brother George were born in Hull round about 1892/94. Sorry but i know I'm going off subject. Barbara
