Christopher AVERY [2] |
- CHRISTOPHER AVERY, the emigrant ancestor and progenitor of the Avery family, was born in England about 1590. He was a weaver by trade, and came to this country and located at Gloucester, Mass., where he was selectman in 1646, 1652 and 1654.
His wife did not come to this country. In 1658 he sold lands at Gloucester and removed o Boston, where on the 16th of March, 1658/9 he purchased land, a small lot, about twenty-six by forty-six feet.
Christopher Avery did not long retain this property, for March 22, 1663, he sold land to Ambrose Dew, for forty pounds. There had evidently been no increase of value in the five years that he had held possession. After being owned by two or three different person, it was bought by Mr. Stackpole about 1790. He now followed his son James to Connecticut, and August 8, 1665, purchased a house, orchard and lot of Robert Burrows in London. He was made freeman of the colony October, 1669.
