| Biography* | David Averett is the first member of our Avery family that we have identified and he was born in Craven County, NC ca 1760. After the death of his son, also named David, his daughter-in-law, Sally, relocated part of the family to Pitt County ca 1845. His grandsons, John and Silas, remained in Pitt County and raised their families there. His granddaughter Pamelia and her family moved back to Craven County ca 1851 after the death of her mother Sally. Today's, Pitt County Avery's can trace their roots back through John, David Jr., and David Sr. Beyond them, family stories tell us that the Averette's originally migrated to North Carolina from Virginia. If this is the case, they were one of many families who can here from Virginia. I have found several spellings of the Avery name: Avery, Averette, Averett, Averitt, and Everett. Different spellings are sometime found in the same deed or grant. |

| Birth* | John was born at Pitt County, North Carolina, in in 11/__/1834. There is conflicting information about John's age. His Civil War Record has his age recorded as both 26 and 18, which equates to a date of birth of 1836 or 1844. In the 1850 Census he is recorded as being 16 years of age, which equates to a date of birth of 1834. In the 1860 Census his age was recorded as 25, which equates to a date of birth of 1835. Most likely he was born between 1834 and 1836..1,4,6,7,8 |
| He was the son of David B. Averett Jr. and Sally Butler Averett. | |
| Marriage* | He married Rittie Kinsaul Averett at Pitt County, North Carolina, on on 06/03/1858.1,2 |
| Death* | John died on 03/28/1866 at Fort Fletcher, Ellis County, Kansas, at age 31. It is recorded in John's Union Army Military Service record that he died this day at the Fort Fletcher Kansa from consumption that was described as quick. A transcript of his record follows: "Left Sick in Hospital by Company. Died March 28, 1866." It is also noted in his military record that he died March 19, 1866. It was also recorded in Levi Abschner's 1866 Fort Fletcher diary published in the The Republican, a hays Newspaper, on August 18, 1906. Levi a 68-year-old fellow North Carolinian stated that Everett died on March 27, 1866..2,4,9,10 |
| Burial* | His body was interred on 04/02/1866 in the Fort Fletcher at Ellis County, Kansas, . .2,3,11 |
| Census 1850 - free* | John was listed as a household member living with Bryan Smith on the 1850 Census at Pitt County, North Carolina. John was recorded as a 16 year-old labor and as being born in North Carolina. Bryan was 32 and the other members of his household were: Lalitha Smith, female, age 24; William H. Smith, male, age 9; Alnes Smith, male, age 7; Lewis C. Smith, male, age 1. Bryan was a farmer and his personal real estate was valued at $1,700. Their entry was recorded in the Tafts District of the Pitt County Federal Population Census on Page 28B, household 472. A further review of the 1850 Census finds John's brother, Silas, age 16, living in the household of 66 year-old Sally Butler Averett. At this time, it is not possible to determine the exact relationship between John and Silas and Sally. She is a little old to have been their mother. She would have been 50 when John was born and 47 when Silas was born. She may have been their grandmother. For now we will assume she was their mother and continue our research. .7 |
| Census 1860 - free* | John was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census in Pitt County, NC. His last name was spelled Avery. He was 25 years old and his household included his wife Rittie Kinsaul, age 26, and their 1 year-old son James Henry. John was a carpenter, he did not own land, his personal estate was valued at $100, and he could not read or write. His wife Rittie could read and write. Both of them were born in North Carolina. His record was recorded on page 190 of the Pleasant Mount Post Office District. This post office was named in 1854 and today this area is known as Ballard's Crossroads. .6 |
| Milit-Beg* | John joined the Confederate Army at Beaufort County, North Carolina, on on 02/18/1862. Confederate troop records show that John was last paid August 31, 1863 and that he was captured at Bristoe Station, Virginia on October 14, 1863. The Union Army took him to the Prison Camp at Point Lookout, Maryland. After suffering for sometime at this camp, he agreed to fight for the union and was transferred to Fort Fletcher, Kansas. His family disowned him. He was considered a traitor. Either scurvy or consumption struck him. In 1866, he died in Kansas and was buried there. Before the war, he lived at Ballard's Crossroads just east of Greenville, NC. He was a farmer and carpenter. He was inducted into the Confederate Army at Beaufort, SC on February 18, 1862 as a private. His record contains conflicting information regarding his age. It is noted in one record he was 26 when he listed and another record has his age recorded as 18. He was mechanic and residence of Pitt County, NC. He was 5' 7" tall. The following is a summary of his military record: 1). He volunteered and enlisted for 3 years or the duration of the war on February 18, 1862 at Beaufort County, North Carolina as a Private. He was enrolled by L.R. Anderson. 2). On April 3, 1862 he mustered into "D" Company, 44th Regement North Carolina Infantry at Camp Mangum. John did return home for a short visit shortly after being transferred to this unit. It was the last time he was to see his home and his family. 3). He was last paid on August 31, 1863, by Capt. Cherry. 4). He was captured as a POW on October 14, 1863 at Bristoe Station, VA 5). He was confined on October 15, 1863 to the Old Capitol Prison, Washington, DC 6). He was transferred on October 27, 1863 to Point Lookout, MD 7). He swore the Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America on January 24, 1864 at Point Lookout, MD (Joined U.S. Army) He also had service in: "A" Co. US Army 1st Infantry John's unit, the 44th Infantry Regiment, completed its organization in March, 1862, at Camp Mangum, near Raleigh, North Carolina. Its companies were recruited in the counties of Granville, Edgecombe, Pitt, Chatham, Montgomery, Beaufort, and Franklin. It served in the Department of North Carolina, then was assigned to General Pettigrrew's, Kirkland's, and MacRae's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. En route to Gettysburg the 44th stayed at Hanover Junction to guard the railroads. Later it fought at Bristoe, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor. It was then involved in the Petersburg siege south of the James River and the Appomattox Campaign. The regiment reported 23 killed and 63 wounded at Bristoe, sustained heavy losses at The Wilderness and in front of Petersburg, and surrendered 8 officers and 74 men on April 9, 1865. It commanders were Colonels G.B. Singeltary and T.C. Singeltary; Lieutenant Colonels Richard C. Cotton, Elisha Cromwell, and Tazewell L. Hargrove, and Major Charles M. Stedman.

Averett's Confederate and Union military service records - National Park Service Civil War Solders and Sailors System website: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/index.html On the 27th of October 1863, John Averett, a POW, was transferred to a prison camp for Confederate prisoners of war built at Point Lookout, Md., on the tip of the peninsula where the Potomac River joins the Chesapeake Bay. In the two years during which the camp was in operation, August 1863, to June 1865, Point Lookout overflowed with inmates, surpassing its intended capacity of 10,000 to a population numbering between 12,600 and 20,000. In all, it is estimated that approximately 52,264 men, women, and children, both military and civilian, were held prisoner there. It's also interesting to note that the youngest POW at Point Lookout was Baby Perkins. He was born there. His mother was captured at the Battle of Spotsylvania with her artillery unit. Point Lookout POW Camp (Camp Hoffman) was established after the Battle of Gettysburg to incarcerate Confederate prisoners. Being only 5' above sea level, it was located on approx. 30 acres of leveled land at the southern tip of Maryland, in St. Mary's County, and surrounded by water on three sides by the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. It was the largest Union prison camp for Confederates. Before the war, Point Lookout was a fashionable resort hotel and a summer bathing place with over a hundred cottages where the elite spent their leisure time. In 1862, with erection of additional buildings, it became a military hospital for the care of union soldiers, an imprisonment for Maryland citizens who were Southern sympathizers, as well as a supply depot for the Army of the Potomac. In August 1863, the large building with outbuildings arranged in spoke fashion (Hammond Hospital), became the care center for wounded/sick Confederate prisoners as well as for union men. Prison conditions were deplorable. Rations were below minimal, causing scurvy and malnutrition. Prisoners ate rats and raw fish. It's recorded that one hungry Rebel devoured a raw seagull that had been washed ashore. Soap skim and trash peelings were often eaten when found. Lice, disease, and chronic diarrhea often resulted in an infectious death. Prisoners were deprived of adequate clothing, and often had no shoes in winter or, only one blanket among sixteen or more housed in old, worn, torn, discarded union sibley tents. Even the Point's weather played havoc with the prisoners. Because of it's location, it's extremely cold with icy wind in the winter and a smoldering sun reflecting off the barren sand in summer was blinding. High water often flooded the tents in the camp area. The undrained marshes bred mosquitoes. Malaria, typhoid fever and smallpox was common. The brackish water supply was contaminated by unsanitary camp conditions. The polluted water exacerbated the problems of inadequate food, clothing, fuel, housing and medical care, and as a result, over 14,000 prisoners died there over 22 months. There was a deadline about 10' from the approx. 14' wooden parapet wall. Anyone caught crossing this line, even to peek through the fence, was shot. Prisoners were also randomly shot during the night as they slept, or if they called out from pain. Major Brady was the Provost Marshall and Major. Gen. Benjamin (Beast) Butler would review the prison camp. Many times he galloped through the crowd of men, hitting them as he sped by. The sixty-gun Minnesota was within a short distance from the shore to guard the prisoners. The conditions of this camp and the treatment of the POW's may have contributed to John Averett's (Avery) decision on the 22nd of January 1864 to swear the "Oath of Allegiance" to the Union and enlist in the U.S. Army. G.W. Jones, a private of Co. H, 24th Virginia Cavalry, described his ominous entrance into the prison amidst "a pile of coffins for dead rebels," hearing the lid close shut on his own soon thereafter when he learned that the system of prisoner exchanges had been suspended for the duration of the war. Jones described the camp as laid out into a series of streets and trenches, intended to aid in drainage, and surrounded by a fourteen-foot parapet wall. Prisoners, who lived sixteen or more to a tent, were subjected to habitually short rations and limited firewood in winter, and when the coffee ration was suspended for federal prisoners at Andersonville, the Point Lookout prisoner lost theirs as well. The Point Lookout Prison Camp Records include official correspondence, receipts and other documents relating to Confederate prisoners of war held at the Point Lookout Military Prison, Md., between the summer, 1863, and summer, 1864. The collection is comprised of 43 official letters pertaining largely to the disposition of prisoners; 124 letters written by prisoners of war, mostly requests to take the loyalty oath in order to be released into the federal military or to be assigned duty as a non-combatant; and approximately 700 letters written by private individuals on behalf of prisoners, mostly seeking information on prisoners' well-being, requests that goods or money be forwarded, or relaying other information. Among the prisoners' correspondence are several letters discussing family hardships, bewilderment at arrest (for civilian prisoners), or simple expressions of exhaustion and a desire to find a way out of the war. The sample, of course, is biased, in that the letters in the Point Lookout Collection were all addressed to federal authorities -- mostly commandant, John N. Patterson. While some prisoners expressed an abiding loyalty to the southern cause, others complained of having been drafted into the service against their will and principles, or claimed to have been so wrapped up in the emotions of the moment that they did not carefully consider their actions when enlisting. In a few cases, soldiers appeared to be genuinely disillusioned with the Confederacy. Indeed, several of those who requested the loyalty oath can later be found serving with federal forces. The prisoners' letters and letters from camp officials provide only very brief glimpses into the conditions of prison life, with very sporadic mention made of illness or crimes committed in camp. Although it is estimated that over 14,000 prisoners died at Pt. Lookout, at present only a mere 3,384 are accounted for as buried in the Point Lookout cemetery. Their graves have been moved twice since the original burial. They now rest in a mass grave under an 85' towering obelisk monument erected by the federal government. This was the first monument to Confederate soldiers! Huge bronze tablets circling this monument depict names of those so far recorded. Also in this well kept cemetery is a smaller 25' monument erected by the state of Maryland to the memory of the prisoners. Among the sites at this prison were: a 1830 Lighthouse, the Hammond Hospital, the Nuns housing, 3 forts, guard quarters, officers quarters, stables, contraband quarters, union quarters/tenting area, burying grounds, smallpox hospital, stockade, etc. Today, this prison site is a beautiful, well-maintained campground that offers among other things, boating, fishing, and picnicking. A museum on site displays artifacts found on the grounds and several pictures of our POWs who were in Point Lookout Prison Camp. This is run by the state park service. .12,8 |

| Death* | Sally died c __/__/1851. Sally does not appear in the 1860 census. We know from other records that her daughter, Pamelia and her family moved back to Craven County sometime between 1850 and 1852. Therefore, Sally must have died ca 1851.. |
| Census 1850 - free* | On 10/12/1850,Sally was listed as the head of a family on the 1850 Census at Pitt County, North Carolina. Silas was recorded as a 19 year-old labor in the household of Sally Butler Averett, age 66. The other member's of Sally's household were: Everett Gwatney, male, labor, age 26, Laborer; Pamelia (Averett) Gwatney, female, age 27; William D. Gwatney, male, age 5; Eleanor E. Gwatney, female, age 4; Tabitha Gwatney, female, age 2; Sarah Gwatney, female, age 2/12; Ann Boyd, female, age 13. All of them were born in North Carolina. We know from other records that Pamelia is Sally's daughter. Everett is her husband and William, Eleanor, Tabitha, and Sarah are her children. Sarah may have been named after her grandmother, Sarah Averett. At this time, it is not possible to determine the exact relationship between Silas and his brother, John, and Sally. She is a little old to have been their mother. She would have been 50 when John was born. This is improbable but not impossible. She may have been their grandmother. For now we will assume she was their mother and continue our research. This entry was recorded in the Buck's District of the 1850 Pitt County Federal Population Census on Page 53B, household 878. .4 |

| Biography* | Butler and his wife had four children and were sharecroppers. After his first wife, Lossie, died at age 39, his life and the life of his family took a major turn for the worst. He started dating Louise Hicks and when she moved to Canada, Butler abandoned his children and followed after her. They moved all over and he died living in Florida. When Butler abandoned his family, he left Kenneth and Gene in the barn of Walter Avery and took off. Horace Wainright, the son of Butler's Sister Lucy, took Gene in and raised him. Kenneth, "Little Pete", was sent to Boy's Home in Colorado. Ray was about 12. Later Ray and Gene joined the Navy together. Today, the Ayden Little League Field and league are named the Ray Avery Ball Field and League. Butler's daughter, Winnie Avery Nelson, was 17 when her mother died. She had finished high school and was ready to enter East Carolina University in Greenville when this happened. She was not able to complete her college plans and first went to live with her mother's brother, Burnice Braxton, and after he beat her with a belt, she left there and lived with Heber Warren and Sarah Olivia Dennis Braxton until she married. She had met their daughter, Inez, riding the bus from Ayden to Greenville and back each day. They both worked in Greenville. They quickly became friends and Heber and Sarah offered her the opportunity to live with them. She paid a little rent and had a home. They remained close the rest of their lives and Winnie always referred to them as Aunt Sarah and Uncle Heb.3 |

| Biography* | Edna provided the following stories about Grandma Pilgreen and her family. When Grandma Pilgreen was a child, she would wait with anticipation for her dad, Grandpa Buck, to come from the fields at the end of the day and go to feed the hogs. She would follow him to the pigpens where he would pour the pigs' corn out of a big basket. Then he would put Grandma Pilgreen in it and throw it over his shoulder and carry her to the house. She always said this was the highlight of her day. Grandma Pilgreen finished grade school. At the time there were seven grades and then you went to college. She had to walk from her parent's farm on Nobles Road to the school at Ballard's Crossroads a distance of about a mile and a half. She carried her lunch in a 5# lard bucket. She brought collards, biscuits, hogs head, fat meat or whatever else they had. One time, Grandma Pilgreen told her mother, Grandma Woods, that she was not going to carry and eat any damn fat or hog head at school. Grandma Woods asked her where did she learn to cuss like that. She told her mother "she learned it from her and Grandma Brann." Needless to say, Grandma Woods gave her a whipping! When Grandma Pilgreen was a teenager the only makeup she had was red crepe paper that she would wet and rub on her lips to give them a tint of red. Grandma Woods, her mother, would make her take it off if she saw her. When her Uncle Ruben Kinsaul moved in with her family, he brought a piano with him. Eventually, Grandma Pilgreen taught herself to play by ear. However, it would make Grandma Woods mad if she played it when her beaus were over. Every Saturday Grandma Pilgreen's family rode in the horse and buggy to the town of Ayden where her mother, Grandma Woods, sold eggs. She used the egg money to purchase whatever they needed for the upcoming week to go with the vegetables they had raised and whatever meats they were planning to eat from the smokehouse. Therefore, during the week Grandma Woods was stingy with the eggs. Grandma Pilgreen normally got one or two eggs for breakfast. She was responsible for cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast while Grandma Woods took care of morning farm chores. As soon as her mother went outside, Grandma Pilgreen would throw another egg on the griddle and then eat it so fast she would burn here mouth. Ellen and her husband, John, farmed tobacco using a horse and tobacco truck and sometimes when Edna's older brother, Wilbur, drove the tobacco truck he would let her ride with him. He always threatened Edna not to tell how fast he drove the horse and truck. On one occasion, he was going so fast around a corner that the truck turned over and Edna cut her leg badly on a protruding nail on the tuck. When her mother asked her how it happened, she said she was not sure; she thought the horse got spooked as they were going around a corner. Grandma Pilgreen had to doctor the spot for quite awhile and Edna kept to her story. When Edna was a teenager, she remembers her mama telling her that her husband, John, did not kiss her until after they were married. John quickly spoke up and said that was not so. That on the night that he left to fight in WWI, he had grabbed her and darn near smothered her with kisses. Grandma Pilgreen then turned every color but white. Grandma Pilgreen and 10 of her brothers and sisters did not have a middle name. She and her sister, Mae Etta Avery Pilgreen, married double first cousins; John Robert Pilgreen and Robert Mack Pilgreen. Their fathers were brothers and their mothers were Davenport sisters. Grandma Pilgreen was known as being a great cook. It was pretty much routine to have thirty or so people at her home for Sunday dinner. Mostly her brothers and sisters and of course her sister and Johns brother, Minnie and Herbert. She received great praise for her homemade biscuits that she prepared without the use of either milk or butter. Her teacakes, also made without milk or butter, were considered by all to be delicious. Her teacakes were know far and wide as also being extremely tasty. Grandma Pilgreen was active until 1994 when she fell and broke her hip. First, she had surgery to insert screws in her hip and unfortunately this never healed properly. She then had to have a hip replacement. Ellen never fully recovered from this injury. She had to use a walker the rest of her life. |
