October 24, 1750, his father deeded to him certain land, through love (Norwich Deeds, 12:112), Feb. 8, 1754, Benjamin Avery, with his sisters, Tabitha and Lucy, and their husbands, deeded land to their brother, Joseph Avery (Norwich Deeds, 13:1). Benjamin Avery served in Capt. Ebenezer Billing's company from April 9th to Dec. 10th, 1756, at Fort William Henry; also in Capt. John Perkin's reg't which was raised in 1757 for the relief of Fort William henry and marched from Norwich (French and Indian War Rolls, 1:107, 236).
In his will, made May 27, 1776, he mentioned wife, Elizabeth; sons, Roger, Benjamin, and Gardner; daughters, Hannah Mills and Lucy Avery. The will was probated July 1, 1776; a partial settlement was made May 10, 1779 (Norwich Wills, 6:383). May 4, 1781, Elizabeth Avery, widow of Benjamin Avery, made application to the probate court that "Freeholders may be appointed to divide & Set out her dower or Thirds." Feb. 11, 1783, Elizabeth Avery widow, and Roger, her son, sold certain lands in Pachaug (Griswold) to Nathan Taylor (Norwich Deeds, 20:335). [1]
