North Elba - Simeon Avery, of this town, died the last of April aged 90 years. He came alone from Wisconsin, where some of his children live, about a month before he died. Essex Co. Republican, Thursday, June 6, 1872
Simeon Shipman Avery, son of Simon Avery and Sarah Bump, came to North Elba from Vermont in 1819 with his wife Polly Clark Avery and six children. Simeon was born in Brandon, Vermont in 1784.
Polly Clark was born in Vermont in 1790 and married Simeon in 1809.
Simeon had purchased from the State of New York, Great Lot 52, Township 12, Old Military Tract, containing 160 acres and situated about three miles southwest of Old Military Road. Some of North Elba's first colonists had previously lived in this isolated area and an access road of sorts was in place. Simeon at once built a log cabin and started a farm. This section became known as Averyville, and the access road as Averyville Road.
Polly Avery died in October of 1846 at the age of 57. Within a few years Simeon married again. On Jan 13,1848, he married, Lucy Hatch.
He and Polly seem to have had ten children, five sons and five daughters: Earl, Royal Alonzo, Julius, Simeon Fayette, Philip, Sophronia, Jane and three daughters whose names are unknown.
All the Avery children eventually scattered to the four winds, with the exception of Simeon Fayette, always known as Fayette. Some seem to have died in infancy. Fayette was the only child to remain on the old Avery place, farming and caring for his father until the latter's death in 1872.
When Fayette, the last of the Averys, moved away in the early 1870s, the home was still a log cabin.
