- AVERY GENEALOGY - DEDHAM BRANCH :
page 14: Robert Avery, yeoman. "A yeoman or husbandman was one who tilled his own land in distinction from a peasant or farmer, who occupied the land of another."
Robert Avery (1) died previous to Oct. 14, 1575, that being the date of the proving of his will. The will itself bears date July 27, 1575.
He had three sons, WILLIAM, Richard and Thomas. William seems to have fallen under his father's displeasure for "having made a base marriage, and left his native parishe,"
(from Robert's will): ..." Also I give and bequethe to my sonne William Avery L(pound)5, my bowe and arrows, and my wynter gowne furred with fox, in token forgiveness for his having made a base marriage and left his native parishe."
... "Item. I give and bequethe to my grandsonne, Robert Avery, the sonne of my sonne William Avery the some of 6/8d."
