BIOGRAPHY: John Averett, was born in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, 2

. He had one or two sisters whose names I never knew. There was one bro
ther, Elijah who was born abt. 1779 in Virginia. Sometime after the Revo
lutionary War, my grandfather (Aaron Averett) died. My grandmother (Dina
h Ray Averett) moved south to Georgia and north to South Carolina. Whil
e my father, John, was yet a boy his mother bound him out to learn the "h
atter" trade. Being something he did not like, he served out his time an
d never worked one day at the business. He turned his attention to Sho
e and Boot making and wagon making. He always had a farm and taught al
l of his boys to farm. Some of his sons learned trades; Elisha, Elijah a
nd John learned to lay stone. G.W.G. Averett, was a wheelwright and gunsm
ith. SOURCE: Journal of George Washington Gill Averett, John's son

BIOGRAPHY: LIVED: On 23 Mar 1829, John, through a federal land sale, bo
ught an 80-acre farm in the adjoining Hamilton Co. Illinois for $1.25 an
d acre. It was located in the Crook/Lasater Township 6S, E2NW of Sec. 10
, Range 7E. Researcher: Georgenia Stewart
The journal of George Washington Gill Averett states that their three son
s that died in infancy were buried in the same graveyard in the Mayberr
y settlement south of and near the Averett farm, 9 miles south of McLeans
boro, Hamilton County, Illinois.
The journal of Elijah Averett states: "The farm in McLeansboro, Illinoi
s was situated about 30 miles from Shawneetown on the Ohio River. It wa
s on the waters of the North Fork of the Saline River, near a swamp calle
d the Scaters made by the Wheeler's and Tennilles Creek"
.
BIOGRAPHY: Soon after the birth of their first child, Mary, John went o
n a surveying party authorized by the government to survey the wilds of T
ennessee, in the region of Cumberland and Duck Rivers. After assisting i
n surveying for some time, he became satisfied with the country and desir
ed to move. On returning to Kentucky, he and my grandfather, George Gill
, and his family all emigrated to the state of Tennessee. John settled i
n Maury County and grandfather George Gill, settled in Jiles County or Hi
ckman. John lived in Maury County for about the year 1809 to 1830. Sour
ce: Journal of George Washington Gill Averett.
BURIAL: Journal of George Washington Gill Averett states: They were livi
ng in Pleasant Hill, Pike Co., Illinois. He father, mother and other fam
ily members are buried in the graveyard known as the McMullin or John Sap
p plot. The cemetery is on the bluff of the Mississippi river.
LIVE_LDS_BAPTISM: 6 June 1835 in Hamilton Co., Illinois.
SOURCE: Geneology of the first Generations in America John Averett's moth
er, as stated, moved with her children from Georgia to one of the Carolin
as. There John grew to manhood, and married a woman whose name is unknow
n. After the birth of a son, this wife became untrue to him, and they ce
ased to live together. After this, he moved to Barren County, Kentucky
, where he met Jennette Gill. They were lawfully married in Barren Coun
ty, Kentucky, on May 1, 1806, and had born to them a daughter, Mary Avere
tt, on Feb 28, 1807. Soon after the birth of Mary, John was sent wit
h a government surveying party to the wilds of Tennessee, in the region o
f the Cumberland and Duck Rivers. After surveying there for some time, h
e became satisfied with the country and decided to move to Tennessee. Sho
rtly after, he brought his wife, child, and his father-in-law, George Gil
l, to Maury County, Tennessee. There ten other children were born to the
m.
Soon after the birth of the last child, John Averett went to Illinois wit
h some of his neighbors, to see the country, and bought himself a place i
n White County, Illinois. He returned and sold his farm in Tennessee t
o John Commel, and in 1830 moved his family to Illinois. Jennette and he
r husband, S.A.P. Kelsey, accompanied them. After a short time, they tra
ded this place for one in Hamilton county, nine miles south of McLainsbor
o, in a place known as Mayberry Settlement, on the north fork of the Salt
ine River. They were very comfortably situated there, owning 80 acres o
f land, 40 of which were under cultivation. They seemed contented ther
e until the sprint of 1835 when they were visited by two men, elders of t
he Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), who preached t
o them the tenets of this religion. John, his wife, Jennett and husban
d Samuel Alexander P. Kelsey, Eliza, Elijah, and his wife Cherrizade Grim
es, Pyrenia, and Elisha all embraced the Latter-Day work.
In 1837, John sold his Hamilton County place and relocated at Caldwell, M
issouri, where some of his children were already living. It seems they w
ere persecuted here by border ruffians who did not like religion of any k
ind, so they went back across the river to Illinos. They crossed the riv
er at Hannibal, Missouri, going two and one-half miles from Payson, Adam
s County, Illinois, where they rented some ground and stayed for a year
. They they moved down to Pike County, Illinois, 12 miles south of the c
ounty seat. Later John bought more land near Pleasant Hill and worked th
ere for five or six years until his health began to fail. On April 19, 1
847, near sundown he took sick with an old chronic disease, the cramp col
ic. He died in a short time that same evening
.
