     The children of John and Elizabeth (Morgan) Avery were baptized at the First Church of Groton, New London Co., Conn.

    John Avery (No. 56) m. Mary Elizabeth Morgan in 1729.

Elizabeth married John AVERY 1, 2, son of James AVERY and Mary GRISWOLD. John was born 4 Feb 1700 in Groton, New London Co., Connecticut and was christened 26 May 1700 in 1st Church of New London, New London, New London Co., Connecticut. He died 11 Jul 1759 in Groton, New London Co., Connecticut.

THE GROTON AVERY CLAN, Vol. I, by Elroy McKendree Avery and Catherine Hitchcock (Tilden) Avery, Cleveland, 1912. Found in the DAR Library, Washington DC. Pages 159-161.
    Born Feb. 4, 1700 at Groton, New London Co., Conn., and baptized May 26, 1700 at the First Church of New London, "in right of his mother," his father having signed the remonstrance. John married Elizabeth Morgan, daughter of William and Margaret (Avery) Morgan. Elizabeth was born July 10, 1710, at Groton, she died May 18, 1749, at Groton. John married 2d Mary Dennis.
"Mr. John Avery jr. and Miss Mary Dennis of Stonington were married June 13, 1751, by Nath. Eells, minister of the gospel" (Groton Records, 1:16).
    Mary was the daughter of Ebenezer and Sarah (Hough) Dennis, and was born April 5, 1713, at New London. Mr. Sweet's supposition that the John Avery who married Mary Dennis had, for his second wife, Anne Miner is not correct. John Avery who married Anne Miner lived many years and left a large family, according to the Groton records, the John Avery who married Mary Dennis died July 11, 1759; this John Avery, the son of James did die at that time. The David Avery ms. and the New London probate records confirm this statement, the descendants of the other John Avery disclaimed any Mary Dennis.
    John-5 Avery was several times selectman of Groton and several times surveyor. January 8, 1751, he was made guardian of his children, Elijah, Amos and Caleb, who inherited property through their mother (New London Court Journal, 6:100). He died July 11, 1759, at Groton. March 1, 1769, his estate was divided among his heirs the widow, Mary Avery, receiving her right in the homestead farm; Elijah, her 'son-in-law," "the oldest son of John Avery, deceased," a part of the homestead farm, Amos Avery, second son, a share; Mary Avery, only daughter, a share; Jabez Avery, minor, third son, a share (New London Court Journal). Mary (Dennis) Avery was made guardian of Mary and Jabez Avery, children of John Avery, late of Groton, Sept. 11, 1759. Jabez, son of John Avery, late of Groton, age 16, chose Ebenezer Witter for his guardian, May 1, 1772. Mrs. Mary (Dennis) Avery married 2d, Joseph Witter of Preston, Nov. 6, 1760 (Preston Records).
The children of John and Elizabeth (Morgan) Avery were baptized at the First Church of Groton, New London Co., Conn.
    The children of John and Mary (Dennis) Avery were born at Groton, New London Co., Conn.

    Parke Avery was called "Elder," because he separated from the "standing order" and preached every Sunday to the people of Groton in the "great room" in the Hive of the Averys. This room had been a part of the New London church building in which Pastor Blinman had held forth more than a hundred years before. He was one of the committee of inspection in 1775 to represent to the general court the necessity of fortifying Groton heights. As a result Fort Griswold was built.
    July 3, 1776, "An account of Ebr Ledyard, Esq. and Mr. Park Avery, a committee who built the fort at Groton, laid in, examined and adjusted, and allowed therein the sum of 265 pounds 7s. 9d. in discharge thereof and voted that an order be drawn for that sum" (Conn. Col. Rec. 15:462)
    He was deputy to the general court in 1776, during the long and anxious session that began with the approval of the declaration of independence and enacted laws for the protection of our interests (Conn. State Rec., 1:2, 61, 90). He was moderator of the town of Groton, 1780, 1781. He was too old to take the field in defense of his country, but he sent his six sons, two of whom died in battle. In 1779, he and his son, Parke, were both on a committee "to attend to the business in inoculation." He was consable and surveyor for Groton, 1748.

twice captured &ct.--gave an account of his voyage &ct.--arrived at Paris in 27 days after he sail'd, which was beginning June, 1778, and delivered his mail to Dr. Franklin, containing the ratification by Congress of the Treaty with France, being the first account he had received of that event, which was
greatly satisfactory to him and the French ministry and nation in general &ct."

                         Capt. Robert Niles
                 A patriot who commanded the Spy
