Genealogical Record of the Dedham Branch of the Avery Family in America (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Genealogical Record of the Dedham Branch of the Avery Family in America In presenting these Records to those interested in the genealogy of the Avery family, as descended from Dr. William Avery of Dedham, Mass., the compilers wish to say that we do not offer it as a complete record of all the lines and branches formed by inter-marriages, yet we have endeavored to make perfectly accurate all to which we could obtain any clew. While we respect the feeling which would not hasten the close of a genealogical work, we still feel, that having availed ourselves of every source of information we have had presented to us, our work may properly be considered as finished, though, from the very nature of things, it is impossible to bring a genealogical record to a well-rounded close. In regard to facts and authentic records concerning the origin of our Dedham ancestor, Dr. William Avery, we are probably in possession of all that will ever be known, as investigations through the efforts of Mr. Walter Titus Avery, of New York city, have resulted in ascertaining his home to have been in Barkham, England, with the parish record of the baptisms of his three children there, and the wills - presumably, - of both his father and great-grandfather. With the great-grandfather - Robert Avery - we commence our genealogy, the latest generation given in our pages being the thirteenth from him. While we date from Robert Avery of Pill, Eng., as our earliest known ancestor, it may be proper to say that we have not undeniable - though strongly presumable - evidence that he was the great-grandfather of Dr. William Avery.
