History of Barnstead NH by Peabody and Caverly, contains the following: "In the year 1787 a petition for a road through North Barnstead to Dover was signed by Lemuel B. Mason, Ebenezer Nutter, Israel Avery, William Green, Moses Avery, Benjamin Avery, and Samuel Avery. The road was commencd near half-moon pond.

The Revolutionary War Pension papers for Moses Avery, includes a deposition by Israel Avery stating that he and older brothers Moses and Samuel, were living with their father Benjamin Avery in Barnstead at the time of their enlistment. Both brothers were older.

Records of Barnstead also give the death of a Samuel Avery in 1795, aged 76. This would not be the Samuel above as he removed to Vermont where he died in 1831 (see Rev. War pension for Samuel Avery).
