From his son William M. Avise's obituary:
May 1st 1833 he arrived in Quincy with his parents. At that time, Quincy was a small town, and had within its limits but one brick building.
His father [Jesse Avise Sr.] resided here for about three years, and then removed to a farm in Hancock county, a few miles north of Carthage. The father remained on the farm for three years, and then, removed to Carthage to give his children the benefit of the common schools. Soon after the removal to Carthage, the father died.

From a history of early Quincy Illinois churches:
EPISCOPAL
By courtesy of Reverend W. H. Moore, dean of St. John's Cathedral, I am furnished the following interesting items:
St. John's parish was organized on Easter day, March 26, 1837. On that day, the Right Reverend Philander Chase, D. D., bishop of the diocese of Illinois, officiated in Quincy, administering baptism, confirmation, and holy communion. At that service, notice was given that the friends of the Episcopal church would meet immediately after service, at the residence of Mr. Jesse Avise, for the purpose of forming a parochial association.
At that meeting, Bishop Chase presiding, the articles of association were signed by the following persons: Jessie Avise, John L. Avise, Eben Moore Jr., Isaac G. Davis, Erastus A. Strong, Abraham De Haven, Francis C. Moore, Seth C. Sherman, S. Touzalin.
Mr. Abraham De Haven was appointed senior warden, and Francis C. Moore, junior warden. As vestrymen, Ebenezer Moore Jr., Seth C. Sherman, and Jesse Avise.
In October, the Reverend John Sellwood was called to be the minister of the parish. At the same time, a contract was made with John Gurn, to build a church of frame, weather boarded, twenty-four feet front and thirty-five feet deep, on a lot on Sixth street, between Hampshire and Vermont. The building now occupied by the W. C. T. U. stands north to this site.
At the following Easter, 1838, the vestry was constituted as follows: Francis C. Moore, senior warden; Seth C. Cherman, junior warden; and Daniel G. Whitney, Isaac O. Woodrfuff and G. Bowers, vestrymen.
The church was formally consecrated to the worship of God by Bishop Chase, on St. John the Baptist day, June 24, 1838.
- The Quincy Daily Whig, Friday, October 9, 1896; page 3. (Quincy, Illinois.) (Excerpt from article on early Quincy churches.)
NB: It is possible this applies to his son of the same name. However their ancestors founded churches in early American history so it is interesting they did the same again, after moving west.
