Elizabeth Avery, and settled on a farm. He was a captain of militia in the War of 1812. In 1815 he emigrated to
this town, bought the improvements of three acres of Joseph Barker, and took a contract for the farm where he spent
the remainder of his life, and where his son Gordon now lives. He lived in a log cabin until 1826, when he built
