p. 356
243. Josiah5 Averill, also called Avery, {proh. son of Joseph4, Paul3, William2, William1), b. Oct. 12, 1755 (F. R., prob. in Conn.), lived at Burlington, Sunderland, and Bridport, Vt., Essex, Essex Co., N. Y. (tax lists, 1808-10), and Mexico, N. Y. He m. June 14, 1721 (?) (sic), Catherine Canfield, dau, of Israel4 Canfield,* of New Milford, Conn., and of Arlington, Vt., in 1775, where he died, and of Mary Sackett his wife. She [Catherine] was b. Mar. 20, 1763, or May 29, 1764, and d. Oct. 17, 1844, at Pierrepont, N. Y., at the residence of her dau., Catherine, and was buried in the family cemetery at Pierrepont. Joseph Averill [No. 84] and his sons were at Sunderland and Burlington, Vt., and Josiah was associated with them.
"The Averills were all churchly people," states a granddaughter, and services were often held in the home at Mexico. Josiah d. Oct. 12, 1820, at Mexico, N. Y. It must be confessed that there is still a problem about Josiah Averill's parentage. But he was an Averill, and removed from Burlington to some other places in Vermont, and afterward removed to New York State. He was associated with Burlington prob. while Samuel Averill (No. 88) was interested there. We have no Josiah Averill mentioned in connection with the Vermont lines except Josiah Averill, a debtor to the estate of Joseph Averill, Sr., of Sunderland, Vt., 1781-83. with Joseph's sons, which is our reason for counting him among them, although in no case is the relationship stated. It is believed that Joseph had children whose names are not given. And for these reasons the compiler assumes that these Sunderland and Burlington items refer to the same person,

Josiah being first in Sunderland, then in 1787 in Burlington (Vt. Hist. Gaz., Vol. 1, Burlington. The first general list of taxes on file for the town of Burlington, is the Burlington Grand List for the year 1787. This list includes Gen. Ethan Allen, £16; Col. Ira Allen, £5; Josiah Averil £12. Fourteen are taxed higher than Mr. Averill ; twenty-two are taxed lower than he.--Ed.)
His services in the Revolutionary War are as follows: Josiah Averill called "Avery" served 91 days, private, Capt. John Warner's Co., Rangers; Lieut. Col. Herrick's Regt., Sept. 4,-Dec. 3, 1777, as private 6 days in Capt. Matthew Lyon's Co., in an Alarm in 1780, & rec'd £4. 15. 4. He served as Private 3 days, in Capt. Lemuel Bradley's Co., Aug. 6, 1781, and rec'd £1. 0. 8. He served as a private one day on a Scout, Apr. 1782, under Capt. Eben Wallis. He served as a Serg't, 3 days in Capt. Elijah Galusha's Co., in an alarm, in May, 1782, Arlington, and rec'd £0. 12.9. Residence unknown. W. H. Gilmore, Adjutant General. State of Vermont, Mar., 1901. (Copy of Certificate.)
Vermont Revolutionary Records show that Isaiah Averill, was Corp. under Capt. Elijah Galusha, 1781, and Josiah Averill, [was] Sergt. [under Capt. Elijah Galusha,] 1782, and
"That"(?) Averill, was Private under Capt. Elijah Galusha, 1782.
As we have not been able at this date (1906) to identify Isaiah and "That" (is not "That" intended for Thad, from Thaddeus?), it is not impossible that they and Josiah belong to another branch of the family. Josiah is not of the Everetts, according to the Genealogy of that family. (See children of Ichabod, No. 75; nor is he claimed by Groton or Portsmouth Avery genealogists under the surname of Avery.)
The city clerk of Burlington, Vt., gives the following abstract:
Ira Allen conveys 103 acre lot on Westside of Dorset St. near the Southern boundary of the Town (Burlington), to Josiah Averill by quit claim deed dated Nov. 9, 1789; ack. Apr. 18. 1791., rec; Vol. 2. p. 20. Consideration £50. (Lot No. 101) Warantee Deed, Nov. 9. 1789; ack. Apr. 18, 1791; rec. Vol. 2. p. 61., Josiah Averill quit claims to Ira Allen by deed of Mar. 11. 1792, the same land above mentioned for £98. Ack. May 1, 1792; rec. Vol. 2. p. 61.
p. 358
No other record of Josiah in Burlington land transfers. Bridport, Vt. land transfers contain Warranty deed from John Warring to Catherine Averill, A. D. 1817, to Jed Frost.
The First United States Census--1790--gives "Josiah Averill" as head of a family in "Burlington Town," Vt., at which time there were "four white females" in his household. Probably one was his wife, two were his daughters and the other a relative or helper. From a copy taken before that census was printed he has in addition two boys under sixteen in his family.
