Biography
Jacob Avery, born 26 Aug 1721 at Groton, Connecticut, was the fourth child of Prudence (Payson) Avery (1681-bef.1735), the second wife of Christopher Avery (1680-1753).
Per The Groton Avery Clan (Avery & Avery, 1912), p. 126, 178, no. 81, therein note: ...according to Sweet's The Averys of Groton, he m. Elizabeth Avery, dau. of Elisha and Elizabeth (Babcock) Avery (No. 205), who was b. March 25, 1725, at Groton and d. soon after her marriage. We have not been able to find proof of such marriage. It is certain that he did marry Sylvia Eddy.
They had 10 children, all but 2 of which are listed without birth dates.
