BIOGRAPHY: Journal of George Washington Gill Averett: William Averett when last heard of was living on the Missouri River, I think, in Jackson County. He had a wife and two or three children. He owned a ferry on the river and was attending the same about, or soon after, the L.D. Saints were driven from Jackson County, Missouri. By some means, unknown, someone bored holes in his boat, and as they were crossing the river near the middle of the stream, they discovered the boat was sinking. They had to swim or drown. Only one passenger whose name was Owens, who had a horse on board that saved him, all the rest on board were drowned. William Averett swam to shore, looked back and saw on of his hired men in the act of drowning. He turned back to help him and they both drowned. At last account in April 1859, his wife and children still lived near the river; nothing has been heard from them since, up to this time, Dec. 22, 1859. (Space was left here to write further account of this family, but nothing was learned)".
BIOGRAPHY:
Source: Geneology of the first Generations in America William ran a ferry on the Missouri River for a number of years. One day someone bored holes in the boat, and it started sinking as they crossed the river. All aboard had to swim or drown. William turned back to help him, and they both drowned. Only one passenger was saved, a man named Owens, who was able to cling to the horse he had with him. Everyone else drowned. The last that was heard from Willia's wife and children indicated taht they were still living in the same vicinity.
