Notes:

A possible candidate for Hannah Avery comes from Ye Historie of Ye Town of Greenwich, Connecticut as follows from pp 491-2: The Genealogy of the Avery Family of Groton, Connecticut, by Homer DeLois Sweet, published in 1894, contains the genealogy of the Avery Family of Greenwich. It states that Christopher Avery[1], a weaver, was born in England about 1590, came to Massachusetts Bay Colony with his only son James[2], about 1630, and was selectman at Gloucester in 1646, 1652, and 1654. In 1658, he removed to Boston, and in 1663, he followed his son James to New London, Connecticut, where in 1665 he purchased a house and lot. He died March 12, 1679, leaving him surviving his only child, James, who was bom in England about 1620. James Avery[2] married, November 10, 1643, Joanna Greenslade of Boston. Of nine children, the second was James Jr b. Dec. 16, 1646 and d. 22 Aug.1748. He was m. 18 Feb 1669, at New London, Deborah, dau. of Edward Stallyon, d. 27 Mar 1729. Of those children born to James Jr and Deborah was Hannah b. 4 Aug 1685. Since Hannah in my database was born before 1700 this Hannah, b. 1685, is a candidate.
