Richmond County, Virginia was formed from (Old) Rappahannock in 1692 so Avery was actually born in Richmond County Virginia, since he was born about 1694. The Indian named Old Rappahannock ceased to exist. Look at Virginia Formation Map. Pike-2301

Avery Dye, son of Arthur, was mentioned in the 1705 will of his god-father Avery Naylor, who was the third husband of Avery's maternal grandmother.[2]

On March 6, 1711, "Upon the Petition of AVERY DYE, it is Ordered that ARTHUR DYE, FATHER of the said AVERY DYE, to pay unto him the sum of Thirty Thousand Pounds of Tobacco (TOBO). The same LEGACY and ___ given by AVERY NAYLOR to the said AVERY DYE and was in the hands of said ARTHUR DYE."[3]

This record, coupled with the fact that Avery was underage at the time, gives rise to the supposition that Avery had rushed into a marriage with the underage Catherine Mackmillian. This supposition is reinforced by the fact that, in a Dec. 1710 deed, Catherine's widowed mother promised promised to give her cattle and various kitchen and household items to be when she married or reached 18 years old.[4]

Avery Dye was a witness to the 1729 will of William Bailey, husband of Avery's wife Catherine's sister Charity. The will directed William's underage son John to live with Avery until age 21.[5]

Avery Dye, Sr., was mentioned as a son-in-law in the 1745 will of Avery's mother-in-law Frances (Newman) (Mackmellion) Hopkins.[6] ↑ Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia's Northern Neck Counties: Avery Dye last accessed Dec 21, 2015 ↑ Robert K.
