AVERY The Averys of America belong to the Dedham branch of the family, the progenitor being Robert Avery, who resided near Shepton Mal- let, Hundred of Whitestone, Somersetshire, England. The arms of the Avery family are: "Gules a chevron between three bezants, or, crest, two lions gambs, or, supporting a bezant." The arms indicate the possession of money, and the estates of the Averys were located in the parish of Pill ( Pylle) Somerset- shire. The generations from Robert Avery who lived near Shepton Mallet, England, was through his son William and grandson Robert,

He married Sarah, daughter of John Curtis Fairchild, of Strat- ford, in 1794, and died in Stratford, Connec- ticut, in 1799.
(VII) Elisha Lathrop Avery, son of the Rev. John William and Sarah (Fairchild) Avery, was born in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1799. He worked on a farm, and then served an apprenticeship with a cordwainer in New York City, but left him to carry on the trade of shoemaker. Meanwhile he was per- fecting his education and in a few years opened a private school in Chrystie street, New York, which he gave up to become principal of the Allen street grammar school in 1851. In 1862 he resigned his position in order to open a private academy in Brooklyn, New York, for the fitting of boys for college and for the United States Naval Academy. He was a remarkable linguist. For his inventive accomplishments the American Institution of New York awarded him a prize. He was lec- turer in the public schools of New York City for many years.

He attended the public schools of New York City, and the Free Academy, afterward known as the College of the City of New York, and he left the academy in 1862 to engage in the business of buying and selling wool, and in 1873 he joined a fellow clerk, Nicholas Mauger, in forming a partnership to carry on the wool business under the firm name of Mauger & Avery, with offices in New York and Boston, and Mr. Avery continued the bus- iness on his own account after the withdrawal of Mr. Mauger in January, 1906, retaining the firm name. He was married, November 12, 1877, in the Church of the Messiah, Brooklyn, New York, to Florence Adelaide, daughter of Henry and Mary C. Topping of Brooklyn, and the children by this marriage were: I. Elisha Lathrop Avery, born in Brooklyn, New York, January 19, 1879; was educated in the public school and high school of Newton, and became connected with his father in business as a salesman; was a member of the Republican ward and city committees of Newton. He married, August 1, 1906, May, daughter of William and Judith Urquahart, of New Bruns- wick, Canada. 2. Charles Henry Avery, born in Newton, Massachusetts, March 5, 1880, was graduated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Newton high school, and the Lowell Textile School, and obtained practical knowledge of the manufacture of wool in mills in North Adams. 3. Helen Ogden Avery, born in Newtonville, Massachusetts, May 2, 1881 ; graduated at the Newton high school and Miss Dana's School in Morristown, New Jersey ; married, October 22, 1907, to Fred- erick H.

Florence Gladys Avery, born in Newtonville, Massachusetts, January 25, 1885, graduated at the Newton high school, and entered Boston University, September, 1906. The family removed from Brooklyn, New York, to Newton, Massachu- setts, in 1880, and in 1881 Mr. Avery pur- chased a beautiful estate on Crafts street, Newtonville, which became the centre of an extended hospitality shared by parents and children alike for many years. The mother of his children died at her home on Crafts street, February 22, 1907. Mr. Avery was prominent in the educational and civic inter- ests of the city of Newton, and was for six years a member of the school board, declining further service. He was a member of the
I212
MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
Newton Club, of the Middlesex Club, of the Episcopal Club, the Commoners Club, the Albemarle Golf Club, of which he was one of the founders, and later president, and of the Hatherly Club of North Scituate, of which he was also president. He was elected to mem- bership in the Bostonian Society, and was an associate member of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, of which his cousin, Samuel Putnam Avery, was one of the found- ers. He was made a director of the Waltham Street Railway Company, his church affilia- tions were with the Protestant Episcopal Church, being while in New York City a mem- ber of St. Stephen's Church, on Chrystie street, and on returning to Brooklyn, a member and treasurer of the Sunday-school of the Church of the Messiah, on Greene avenue, for many years, and a founder and junior warden of St. John's Church, Newtonville, Massachusetts, of which his son, Elisha Lathrop Avery, was the director of the very superior mixed choir of that church.
Charles French Avery, besides being de- scended from the immigrant ancestors already recited is descended through Deborah Lathrop, who married the Rev. Ephraim Avery, in 1738; from the Rev. John Lathrop, born in England, December 20, 1584, educated at Queen College, immigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony, arriving in Boston in the ship "Griffin," September 18, 1634, died at Barn- stable, November 8, 1653, and this same ances- tor married as her second husband John Gar- dener, fifth proprietor of Gardiner's Island, and for her third husband, Colonel Israel Put- nam, afterward a major-general in the United States army, and she died at Putnam's head- quarters in the Highlands, Hudson river, New York, in 1777. Sarah Fairchild, who married the Rev. John William Avery, was a descend- ant in the sixth generation from Thomas Fair- child, who married a daughter of Robert Sea- brook, and became one of the sixteen house- holders of Stratford Connecticut Colony in 1639. Sarah Coit, mother of , Charles French Avery, died in Newtonville at the home of her son on Crafts street, February 12, 1892. She was a direct descendant in the seventh generation from John Coit (see note at end of this narrative) who came probably from Walkes, through England, to Salem, Massa- chusetts Bay Colony, between 1630 and 1638, removed to Gloucester in 1644, and was selectman 1648. He received a grant of land in 1650 in New London, Connecticut, where he died August 29, 1659.
Through his mother, Charles French Avery was also a descendant of John Ogden ( 1643- 1682), one of the founders of Elizabethport, New Jersey, whose granddaughter, Sarah Ogden, was a favorite of General Washington at Morristown, New Jersey. Mrs. Avery's father was part owner of the pilot boat "Mary A. Williams," which did service for the United States government in the civil war. He was connected with various early Dutch families of New York and Brooklyn, his grandfather who was a friend of John Jacob Astor, invest- ing with him, and at his advice in New York and Harlem real estate, but unlike Astor he was unable to hold it through a long period of depression. He was descended from Lord Loudon, of an aristocratic Scotch family, and through her mother Mrs. Avery came from the Griswold and Hobart families, who sup- plied clergymen and bishops to the Episcopal church in America.
Charles French Avery may be classed as a useful citizen of Newton. He was active in helping to secure the depression of the rail- road tracks through the city, and as president of the Newtonville Improvement Association in converting "Poverty Block" into a public park, and in aiding prominent liberal citizens in securing the Governor Claflin estate to the city for educational and park purposes. As a member of the school board he urged the building of modern school buildings, and in Newton, and several of the finest school buildings, including the high school, were built while he was in office. His polit- ical home was with the Republican party. He was elected to the office of alderman No- vember, 1907, but has never been ambitious for official distinction. As a wool merchant he stood at the head of the trade both in Bos- ton and New York, and enjoyed the uninter- rupted confidence of the United States custom officials as well as the manufacturers and wool merchants with whom he dealt. The finance committee of the United States Congress fre- quently called him in consultation on questions of tariff, and the house of Mauger & Avery furnished important statistics to committees in Congress which aided in framing the Mc- Kinley and Dingley bills as they related to the tariff on wool. Mr. Avery established a sum- mer home at North Scituate Beach, Massa- chusetts, about 1892, before the development of the Scituate Neck, and he helped to organ- ize the Hatherly Association and was its pres- ident for several years. He was also a direc-

tor of the North Scituate Beach Improvement Association.
