England / Re: New England Planters in Nova Scotia

Hi,

This link is the man we are looking for, but cannot prove the next step.  The children John Jr. Felix and Moses we got from a living relative, and we have a death date for Felix listing John as his father, but no mother.
If he is who I think he is, he is John, s/o Robert Avery and Anna Cushman.  Robert being a grantee of Horton in 1761.  But this is a theory and I have not been able to prove any of it.
At this point I am looking for John's wife here in Atlantic Canada, and other children he may have had.
Any expansion of this family in Atlantic Canada would be great, but for now, I am searching the direct line.

England / New England Planters in Nova Scotia

Hello All,

I am researching my Avery Family lineage starting on Prince Edward island, Canada, to Nova Scotia, Canada to Maine, USA, Massachusettes, USA and Connecticut, USA.
I have so far landed on a John Avery; Merchant in Halifax, NS circa 1777-1784.  Had sons named John Jr. Moses and Felix.  Cannot find a wife/mother for this family, or where he went after 1784.
I have theories, but cannot prove anything.  Missing the verifiable documents that prove my theories to move on.

Also, I am very curious about The Groton Avery Clan and the Dedham Avery Branch.  Is this 'Branch' part of the Groton clan?  why is one called a clan the other a branch? Are they related somehow, both having originated in England?

Thanks,
