THE GROTON AVERY CLAN, Vol. I, by Elroy McKendree Avery and Catherine Hitchcock (Tilden) Avery, Cleveland, 1912. Found in the DAR Library, Washington DC. Pages 134.
HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF STONINGTON, County of New London, Connecticut, from its first settlement in 1649 to 1900, by Richard Anson Wheeler, New London, CT, 1900, p. 202
Born Nov. 15, 1680, at Groton, Conn. Samuel was baptized January 2, 1681, First Church of New London. He married June 23, 1702, at New London, Elizabeth Ransford, daughter of Jonathan and Martha Ransford, late of Boston, Mass.
Mary (Smith) Raymond, in her will before referred to (page 108), made May 8, 1805, mentioned Elizabeth Avery, daughter of "my cousin Martha Ransford deceased." Jonathan Ransford was born July 26, 1661, at Boston, Mass., the child of Jonathan and Mary (Sunderland) Ransford. On April 2, 1698, John Sunderland deeded to Elizabeth Ransford, only child of Jonathan Ransford, late of Boston, mariner, certain lands "when she shall be 21 or marry" (Suffolk Deeds, 16:182). February 16, 1702, Samuel Avery, cordwainer, and Elizabeth, his wife, only child of Jonathan Ransford, sold her right in land owned by Jonathan Ransford for 125 pounds to John Sunderland (Suffolk Deeds, 21:171).
Samuel-4 Avery called himself husbandman when, in conjunction with his brother Thomas, he sold land in Pochange, Oyster River quarter, to Samuel Chapman, June 5, 1706 (Saybrook Deeds). In 1710, he bought of Jonathan Rogers, twenty acres of land, house and orchard, on the north side of Saw-mill Brook, in Mohegan (Montville) (Henry Baker's History of Montville, p. 98). He probably lived and died on this place. He and Adonijah Fitch owned pew No. 8, in the original church erected in Montville.
In his will dated Feb. 22, 1749/50, New London, North Parish, Samuel Avery mentioned wife, Elizabeth; sons, John and Ephraim; daughters, Martha, Elizabeth, Alethea, Hannah, Anna and Mary; "children of my son Ransford deceased, five shillings to each of them and to his son Samuel who now lives with me I give fifty pounds money old tenor" (New London Wills, F:56). He died Feb. 25, 1749/50, at Montville, New London Co., Conn. His widow died Sept. 9, 1761, at Montville.
