Joseph (8), William-7, William-6, William-5, William-4 (came to New England in 1650 to Dedham, MA), Robert-3, William-2, Robert of Pill-1.

Note: Pill is now known as Pylle, Somerset, England. This was the residence of our earliest known ancestor, Robert Avery (1), is 3 1/4 miles south of Shepton Mallet, in White Stone Hundred; acres, 1,570; houses, 35 in 1831;population, 216 in 1841. Pylle House (as per Black's Guide) is on the Bath & Bridport Railway. There is a town by the same name near the mouth of the Severn, on map of England, in Cotton's general atlas of 1862, (it is not the ancient Pill, however,) 15 1/2 miles from Bath, and 2 1/4 miles from Shepton Mallot.

The name Pill seems to correspond to the Welsh POIEL, an inlet or pool.

William Avery-4, our earliest ancestor in America, lived in Barkham, Berkshire, England.
