General8,9,10,11,12,13,14: Born in England, about 1620, the Captain,
which seems to be his title in all of the history books, emigrated to
Gloucester at the age of ten with his father. Their origin is in doubt and
much has been written concerning this. James married Joanna Greenslade in
Boston, her hometown, on November 10, 1643. The Captain and his wife lived in
Gloucester but relocated to New London. They had ten children, including
James, Jr.
Most of the settlers of New London came from Gloucester because Reverend
Blinman, of Gloucester, was hired to be the minister of the Pequot Indian
Plantation. A party of his local friends proposed to move with him.
They made a preliminary trip to New London in October 1650, James
included, when the records indicate that a James Averye received a land grant
of 100 acres. The party then returned to Gloucester, where James sold his
possessions to his father, and early in 1651 returned to New London.
In March of 1651 the main body of settlers arrived. New London was
initially settled in 1646 by a group of Puritans from Gloucester, north of
Boston, the original travellers describing the land journey through the
"wilderness" to get there. The original settlement was called the Pequot
Settlement, after the local Indian tribe. The settlement was also called the
Cape Ann colony, the original Avery home was located on Cape Ann Lane, the
names referring to the Cape Ann area of Gloucester that the settlers came
from. This settlement was on the west side of the mouth of the Thames River,
which is in the middle of Connecticut on Long Island Sound. In 1656 the
Captain bought extensive real estate several miles east of the river on the
broad plains of Pequonoc. The original name for the homestead was Birch
Plains and he lived there until his death, in 1694.
The Captain was prominent in local affairs. He was a charter member of
the first
church, a magistrate on the bench, a member of the State Legislature for 14
years and also held most of the principal offices in the town of New London.
Specifically he was a selectman in New London from 1660 to 1680. He was a
judge in New London during most of the same period. He was commissioned an
Ensign (Oct. 1662), Lieutenant (May 1665) and Captain (Aug. 1673) in the New
London County Troop, and in the war against an American Indian Chief called
Metacom, or the King Philip War (1675-1676) he was fifth in command. He was
twice granted 100 acres of land by the government, 1668 and 1675. He received
another 100 acres Oct. 19, 1650. He served as a representative on the General
Court from 1655 to 1680 and as an assistant Judge of the Prerogative Court.
He was commander of Pequot allies in the Narragansett War, an Indian
operation in 1675. He was an Indian Overseer and a member of the New London
Committee on Indians.
Groton was not incorporated until 1705, before then it was part of New
London town. The whole area is now called New London County, and many
historical references refer to the area as just New London. This causes some
confusion in trying to differentiate between the two towns and the
un-incorporated areas of the county.
New London is a fine port, and starting in 1784, it became home to about
75 whaling ships. The industry went into decline in the 1840s as the whale
population was decimated and other products were found as cheaper substitutes
for whale oil. New London was Nathan Hale's home, he was executed as a spy in
1776. It is the current home of the US Coast Guard Academy. New London's fine
harbor stays relatively ice-free during the winter when such ports as New
York freeze up. The first settlements were located on the Thames River.
These first settlers were obviously proud of being from the London area.
Groton, which became the Captain's home, has a fine harbor of its own,
and currently has a large private deep-sea fishing industry, a US Navy
submarine base, and is the home of General Dynamic's electric boat division,
the countries largest submarine producer.
The Indian trouble started almost as soon as settlers arrived, in 1636,
although the major operations occurred during King Philips War (June 20, 1675
to Aug. 12, 1676). On May 26, 1637, 600 Pequot Indians were killed at the
Indian Fort at Groton. Almost thirty years later, Metacom had a well trained
and well led force of 800 and by the end of 1675 he had the Eastern border
towns of Connecticut so worried of attack that the General Assembly ordered
every county to raise sixty dragoons, "well mounted, equipped and
provisioned, to be ready when called to aid in the defense of the colony."
Captain Avery was placed at the head of forty Englishmen from New London,
Stonington and Lyme, "with as many Pequots as he should deem necessary to
protect that part of the country, and to annoy the enemy at his
discretion(sic)." His operation lasted through the rest of 1675 and into
1676. Metacom was the chief of the Wampanoags, one of five tribes that made
up the Five Nations, a group of Indian tribes covering most of New England.
The origin of the "war" is uncertain, but appears to have resulted because of
the general incompatibilities of the colonization process to the
local Indians. Missionaries had been successful in pacifying other local
tribes. Metacom was finally tracked down by soldiers and killed in August of
1676,
leaving New England at peace after more than a year of torture and betrayal
on both
sides. There were 10,000 Indians in the area but missionaries were never able
to convert more than a quarter of them to Christianity.
About the same time that British jurist Sir Edward Coke was delivering
the
eminently quotable line concerning " a man's home is his castle," the Captain
bought large tracts of land at Groton and built his own castle, the "Hive of
the Avery's" in 1656. The Hive was located in the town of Groton, across the
river from New London, on the east side of the river. The Avery mansion
survived over 250 years and was illustrative of the times. The house grew bit
by bit. Ten years before his death, in 1684, the Captain was too feeble to
leave the house for church services, so for ú6 he purchased his old church on
the west side of the river. This was the same church Reverend Blinman
preached in for thirty years. James had it dismantled and rebuilt onto his
own house, and used it for church services until his death.
The center of life for the American colonist was not the church or the
parlor, but the kitchen, with its huge stone fireplace. In the other rooms
the rafters were bare beams and the floors raw boards, but in the kitchen,
there was room near the hearth for children to play and watch their mother
cook in large iron pots. In these kettles were hasty pudding and cornmeal
porridge, while corn dumplings were baked on the side of the hearth. If the
colonialist travels, he takes with him no-cake or Indian corn, which is corn
parched in ashes and carried in a leather bag.
The dwelling houses of higher class people in those days always
consisted of at least two stories, but the Hive also had two chimneys and for
years the house was called the "two chimney house" because it was the only
one in town with two chimneys. Building in those days consisted of exposed
beams, second stories overhanging the first and walls of clay with wooden
siding on both sides, called clap-boards ever since. House paint was never
used in those early days, and did not come into general use until about 1730.
The Avery house was never painted until a century later. Bread was made from
rye and Indian corn and only the very rich could afford wheat flour. The use
of coffee was unheard of until about 1770, until then people drank water and
roasted rye. Wallpaper came into use about 1783 and carpeted floors much
later. The professions of the early Avery's are never stated in the history
books but we can assume they were mostly farmers, probably everyone in these
early settlements farmed, it was the only way to survive.
Ebenezer Avery, the Captain's grand-son born at The Hive, who married
Dorothy Parke, greatly extended the Avery property, on which they lived. By
the time of Ebenezer's death in 1732, the grounds went from Dunbar's Mill
(which was still standing in 1892) north of the Stonington turnpike to
Eastern Point, and from the Great River to the Thames River. Dorothy and
Ebenezer had six children including Ebenezer Jr., who is our direct ancestor,
and Parke Avery, who became the owner of the mansion. Parke continued the
practice of holding church services in the mansion, often preaching himself,
without collecting tithes.
Parke Avery was wounded at Fort Griswold during the attack by Benedict
Arnold, and nine other Avery's were killed in the same battle. Ironically
Parke was one of a committee of six who contracted to build Fort Griswold in
1775, when the War of Independence threatened. Many Averys were also wounded,
but more on that fight later.
The family mansion remained occupied until it burned down on July 21,
1894, when a spark from a passing train ignited its well seasoned timbers.
Nothing remained but its chimneys. A few years later the chimneys were taken
down, the lot graded and a monument erected by Avery descendants. The Avery
Monument was dedicated on July 20, 1900. Avery descendant John D. Rockefeller
helped fund the construction of the monument. Today it is called the "Avery
Memorial" and is located on US route #1 in Groton.

Notes for James (Spouse 1)
1630 - Shortly after the birth of his son Nathaniel, William CHESEBROUGH, with his wife Anne and three surviving children of the eight that had been born to him, set sail for New England on the ship "Arbella", Captain Peter MILBORNE, master. The ship set sail from Cowes, Isle of Wight, on Tuesday, March 30, 1630, and was called the "Admiral" of the fleet as it was the best vessel and held the more important people.
Among the other passengers was Christopher and James AVERY, Thomas MINER, and John WINTHROP. They settled first at Charlestown, 30 July 1630, but in three months removed to Boston.

1630 - Christopher AVERY, "weaver," and his only son, James AVERY, came in the "Arabella", 12 June 1630, and is first found at Cape Ann,
Massachusetts. Christopher AVERY's wife, Margery (STEVENS) AVERY, remained in England. Captain James Avery Sr
