Research Notes

Note, removed Susan Palmer-22 as a wife.

Note: The following information appears on p. 115 of The Groton Avery Clan pertaining to the children of this Samuel Avery:

This list corresponds to the one printed by Mr. Sweet [The Averys of Groton], with one exception. The "John" given by him is omitted. All the other children are found recorded on the Groton books, but there is no "John " among them. Mr. Sweet himself was in doubt in regard to the matter. Investigation shows that the John mentioned by Mr. Sweet belongs to the line known as the Thomas Avery line of Portsmouth, N. H. (see p. 24), and that he and all of his descendants must be transferred to that clan.

On the basis of this information, as well as the same error captured by other editors of the [Avery-32] profile, it has herewith been detached from these parents.[JRF]
