AVERA/RHODES Wake County NC

pier66 — 26 Nov 2005 5:12:56 GMT

Trying to find a lead on Elizabeth Avera, whose marriage bond to Jonathan Rhodes was recorded in Wake County 12/22/1841.

These Rhodes lived in Panther Branch, Wake, in the southeast corner, very close to Johnston County. I know Johnston was the seedbed of the Averas, so I suspect that she was from there. There were several Averas in Wake in 1840, but none of them were in Panther Branch Township.

Jonathan Rhodes and Elizabeth Avera had children Andrew Jackson, Edgar Gaston, Lynn (male), Frances Mary, and Sarah Elizabeth.

Jonathan was still in Panther Branch in 1880, with the two daughters.

AVERA/AVERY

Linda Avera — 23 May 2005 3:10:08 GMT

Dr. Alexander Avera of Avera, GA. was the son of William Avera/Cassandra Walker of GA. Cassa was Wm's second wife. William had children (Nancy, Jane) by his first marriage. Good possibility Wm's first marriage was about 1825 since he married Cassa in 1828 in Fayette County, Ga.
William's parents were Alexander Avera/Jane Curry who married January/1801 in Warren County, GA. Alexander died in Warren County and Jane Curry Avera moved to Monroe County, Alabama to be near the Curry family. There she married Mullican Norred in 1836. I'd appreciate any information about this line of Avera's. Especially looking for a connection to N.C.

William Avera of Cumberland NC, Bastardy Bonds

Denise_Stephenson — 10 Aug 2005 7:09:10 GMT

Seeking information on William Avera born c. 1808 in NC. He is listed four times in the Cumberland County, NC Court Minutes as posting bastardy bonds for the "base born" children of Welthy Stancil. The dates include 1842, 1843, 1845, & 1847. I am descended from one of these illegitamate children. William Avera is listed on the Cumberland County 1840 Census as single and on the 1850 Census as single as well and owning quite a bit of land. I am very curious as to why he and Welthy did not marry as they were both single and had four children together.

Any information on the Averas of Cumberland County would be appreciated.

Needham Avera, John Walton Avery, Martha Walton, & Elizabeth Tomme

f_w_i — 3 Mar 2002 7:11:46 GMT

Interested in serious research of Needham Avera (Johnston Co NC & Putnam Co GA), his ancestors, and his descendants. These include: Martha Walton (said to be Needham's wife), John or John Walton Avery (said to be his son) and Elizabeth B. Tomme (definitely John Walton Avery's wife). John and Elizabeth Tomme Avery were in Chambers and Randolph counties AL later in their life.

John Walton Avery was born 16 Dec 1805 in GA & died 13 Jan 1878 in Randolph Co AL. He married Elizabeth Tomme 3 Dec 1829 in Putnam Co GA. There is a Needham Avera in the 1820 & 1830 Putnam Co GA Census that fits as the father of John Walton Avery but only circumstantial proof at this point. Please E-mail me directly at f_w_i@msn.com as well as posting to this Board.

William Edward Avera

carolinaroom — 3 Aug 2002 2:50:06 GMT

I am trying desperately to find information on my father. Bill was born in 1947 and died of a heart attack in 1990, I believe. He was not married to my mother, but did later marry a woman who already had a daughter. He lived in Lakeport, Sonoma Co., CA and worked in a hospital there. Mama also said that when she knew him he liked Hawaiin shirts, had salt-n-pepper hair and moustache. I simply am looking for information on his ancestry. His mothers maiden name is Sturgeon. Anybody who has anything at all should contact me at lindsaysilva@hotmail.com. Oh, and I understood that Avera is a Welsh name, just to add my two cents in since I saw that there is a bit of a mystery behind it.

Mary — 3 Aug 2002 3:28:54 GMT

Hi all! I posted here before with no luck. But I have
more info on my GG-Grandmother Anna (Avera') JURE'. On
her son, my G-Grandfathers SS Application, he lists
his father as John JURE' and his mother as Anna
Josephine (maiden name as) AVERA'. Also on his death
certificate it shows both his parents as being born in
France. BUT, here's the Kicker!, my G-Grandfather, Leon
JURE' Sr. went to school at the Carlisle Indian
Industrial School in Penn. and it lists him as being
a Mission Indian. So now my question to you all is, have
any of you in N.C. or GA. found ancestors that are of
Indian blood??? I think that there must be some connection
here, I just haven't found it yet! *S*
Thank you all so much!
Mary
