AVERY - I am trying to find any information about my great grandfather Joseph Avery (his name has also been seen in every other census as Every) who was born 1825 in Delaware County but lived his adult life and raised his family in Ulster County. I do not know where in Delaware County he was born. The first census I find him in is the 1855 census for the Town of Wawarsing in Ulster County where he lived with his wife Mary E (Davis) Avery, his daughter Josephine and his sister-in-law Rachel Davis. It is in this census where the information that he was born in Delaware County is found. At some point before 1860 he and his family removed to the Town of Olive where he lived the rest of his life. His children were: Josephine b. 1855 m. George Smedes; Willard b. 1857 m. 1)Eliza Reeves 2)Margaret Evans; Virgil (my grandfather) b. 1859 m. Ella Sherman; Rachel b.1861 m. 1)James Coons 2)James Dennison; Judson b.1871 m. Ella Roosa. Joseph died 5 April 1898 in Rosedale, Ulster County at the home of his son Judson. In the 1860 census Joseph is living next door to a John S. Avery who may have been his brother? John's wife's name was Rachel (I think Roosa, but I'm not sure) and I believe the John S. Avery family removed to Michigan. I have no real clue whether Joseph & John were related, it is basically conjecture at this point based solely upon their ages (John was 2 years older than Joseph in the 1860 census) and based upon the fact that they were right next door to each other. The only other supporting evidence I have for this claim is that when I find John S. in the 1855 census (he is living in the Town of Olive) his information states that he was born in Delaware County. I am hoping that someone will have some information or perhaps some ideas as to where I can go from here. Joseph is my brick wall and after pounding my head against it for so many years I would love to tear it down! Sissy Ann Avery-Pigman - posted 09-2017
