DEATH: Sometime after the first twenty-five years of the nineteenth century, Peter Averitt moved to Tennessee. There is a record that when he died in February, 1842, he left a farm of something like 249 acres on the Cumberland River, not too far from Nashville, Tennessee. The story has been told to me by a person who vouched for its authenticity, that Peter Averitt was a slave holder, but that be before he died, he set free fourteen slaves and gave each of them $100. Told by Will Averitt. Peter Averitt is his great, great grandfather.
MARRIAGE: Peter Averitt was married four times; two of his wives were the daughters of Baptist preachers. There were no children from his first marriage in 1790 to Elizabeth Sims. She lived only about three years, after which Peter Averitt married the second time, to Mary (Polly) Crymes, and to this union were born five children- three boys and two girls.
