William Avery received a Patriarchal Blessing from an Elder of the LDS Church, in January of 1846. It states his date and place of birth and his parents as Daniel and Sarah Avery.

William's sister Sarah was married to Solomon Wixom, an elder of the LDS church who also kept a diary: On the 6 of Aug 1835, Wixom said "Then went to the Avery's and baptized four more, Margaret Avery, the wife of William Avery, and Margaret, the wife of Dan Avery, and Sarah Avery and her daughter." On the Sabbath, the 7th of Feb 1836, Wixom held a meeting at William Avery's; and on Wednesday at Father Avery's. On Monday, 14 Feb 1836, Wixom was married to Sarah Avery [the daughter of "Father" Daniel Avery & his wife Sarah nee Sargent]. A later note refers to the laying of hands on Brother William Avery's child who had been scalded very bad. "The fire came out and in the morning it was perfectly well". He had also laid hands on Mother Avery and his own wife and child, all who recovered immediately. He mentions several other meetings as Father Avery's [obviously his father-in-law].

William married Margaret Pickle, 25 Feb 1828, Franklin Co, Ohio - her father, Minor Pickel, gave permission and his brother Daniel Avery Jr. was the bondsman.

There were 12 children - 10 of them living and named as heirs when William Avery's estate was administered in 1868.
Sarah, b. 1829, Ohio. Married Gouvneur Butterfield, 1845, possibly a second marriage to a Daily
Philo, b. 1830, Ohio, married Rebecca Haslett, 1851
Eliza Ann, b. 1832, Ohio, married Ira P. Irwin, 1850
Mary J., b. 1834, Ohio, married Elbridge Morrell, 1853
William Clark Avery, b. 1837, Illinois, married Nancy Black, 1861
Joseph Sidney, b. 1839, IL, married Serena Curry, 1861
Emma, b. 1843, IL, married Willis Lewis
David, b. 1844, IL d. at Humboldt, TN, 2 Mar 1863, Civil War
Solomon, b. 1847, d. 1861, Schuyler Co IL
Hiram P., b. 1852, IL [may have later been called "Pink" Avery - if so he was married at least three times, d. 1907
Margaret, b. 1854, IL
Rosetta, b. 1856, IL

William Avery died at his residence on 21 Dec 1867. Margaret made an undated Petition for Administration of the estate. On 14 Feb 1868, Margaret Avery received letters of Administration on the estate of William Avery, Schuyler Co, IL. Bond was set in the amount of $400. Ira Irvin and William C. Avery provided security.

Burial in this cemetery is presumed, until proven otherwise.
