Will of "Jona. Avery Practitioner in Physic & aged about thirty-three" dated 18 Feb 1689, proved 27 May 1691. Also refers to Vol. 17, p. 139 where Michael Wigglesworth writes a letter dated 11 Feb 1690[/91] to Mrs. Avery, referring to her as a widow, and mentioning visiting last October (1690), presumably when he learned of her widowhood. Regarding the Dedham record: "unless there be an error in the year, a different person must be intended."
