-------------

Avery Hall was the fourth of six children born to Theophilus Hall, Jr., and Elizabeth Couch, in Meriden, Connecticut, on May 25, 1779. He married three times during his life. He married Sara Foster of Meriden, December 31, 1800. She was the mother of two sons, Selden and Alfred. They lived for a time in Great Barrington, Mass.. "Avery Hall owned a large tract of land in Ohio, about fifty miles southeast of Cleveland, Ohio. In those days, Ohio was thought to be the "promised land" and it was to Ohio the family moved about 1820, making the journey in wagons drawn by oxen. The sons remained in Lorain County, with the exception of Alfred and perhaps one other, and their homes were in or near Brighton, Lorain County, Ohio. Edwin moved to Elyria, Ohio.

In The History of Lorain County, Avery and his family were mentioned as the next family to arrive in Lorain as early settlers. "...Avery Hall and wife, and their grown-up sons, Alfred and Orrin, with Selden, who was of age soon after coming into the country, emigrated from Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in 1822. Other children in this family were: Erastus, Sarah, Edwin (now in Elyria), Theophilus (in Litchfield), Julie (in Perrysburg), John and William. Avery Hall upon arriving, settled upon lot two, and his son Alfred on lot six. Seldon afterward settled on the same lot; he married a daughter of Luke Whitlock and removed some years after to Wellington, were he died in 1878. Orrin Hall settled on lot nine, where he still lives. Alfred Hall removed to Perth Amboy, New Jersey."

"Avery Hall was endowed with a cheerful, sunny temperament and charming manners. His grandson Edward J, with his wife, Mary visited him in the Ohio home, and recall that he played the violin for the young people to dance, and also played delightfully upon the flute."

Avery married a second time and with this wife had no children, and remarried a third time in old age."

In Cheryl Ewell Hines' work, Brighton Township, Ohio: Where the Pioneer Souls Live On, she repeated some of the information in The History of Lorain County about Avery: "Avery Hall, Sr. was a Yankee Peddler in Meriden, Connecticut. After Avery's first marriage in 1801, to Sarah Foster, he bought a farm and a saw mill. After the death of Sarah in 18-3, Avery married Lucy Bacon in 1805.

Avery Hall and a Mr. Comstock came to Ohio around 1820. Avery selected two hundred acres of wild land in Brighton from Lot 2. When he returned to Connecticut, he traded what land he had, back to the state of Connecticut for the land in Brighton. He sent his two oldest sons, Selden, 18 years old; and Alfred, 17 years old, back to Ohio to prepare the land and a cabin for the arrival of the rest of the family.

The boys carried what they could on their backs and walked to Brighton. When their father and the family, consisting of Lucy, their eight children, the youngest being two years old, arrived after a four week and four day trip from Connecticut, they found that the cabin was not yet completed. The whole family stayed with the Calvin Roice family on Lot 10, which the Roices purchased from Solomon Kingsbury. The Halls soon moved into their new home on Lot 2, just in time for the birth of John W. Hall."

In the 1810 Federal Census for Meriden, New Haven County, Connecticut, Avery Hall was the head of household of 13 individuals. The information about them was: Males, 4- under 10; 4- 10 thru 15; 1- 16 thru 25; and 1- 26 thru 44. The females in the household were: 1- under 10; 1- 16 thru 25 and 1- 26 thr 44.

He was located in the 1820 Federal Census for Great Barrington, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, on August 7, 1820, living in a household of twelve people. There were: Males 2- under 10; 2- 10 to 15; 1- 16 to 18; 2- 16 to 25; and 2- 26 to 44. The females in the home were: 2- under 10; 1- 10 to 15; and 1- 26 to 55. The totals included 5 people in agriculture, ;7 under 16 and 3 over 25 years of age. Living next to the family one headed by Miles Avery and one headed by Isaac Avery who might have been related on Avery's grandmother's side of the family.

In the 1830 Federal Census for Black River, Lorain County, Ohio, Avery was living in a household of ten people. They were divided as follows: Males: 1- under 5; 2- 5 thru 9; 1- 10 thru 14; 1- 15 thru 19; and 1- 50 thru 59. The females present were: 1- under 5; 1- 10 thru 14; 1- 15 thru 19; and 1- 40 thru 49. Avery's household was listed as living in Brighton. Living five and six homes away from Avery were his sons Alfred and Seldon with their families.

The Avery Hall household was listed in the 1840 Federal Census for Brighton, Lorain County, Ohio as a family of eight people. The family included: Males, 3- 15 thru 19; 1- 20 thru 29; and 1- 50 thru 59. The females listed were: 2- 15 thru 19; and 1- 50 thru 59. In the household three were listed as engaged in agriculture. Living in the same community was his son Selden Hall and his family.

In the 1850 Federal Census for Brighton, Lorain County, Ohio, taken in August of 1850, he was 71 living with his wife, Lucy, 66, and working as a farmer. The total value of his real estate was given as $2000.

The Will Record No. 2 of Lorain County, Ohio, notes the following on page 510: Will of Hall, Avery, Brighton, Ohio, made March 13, 1856; probated May 14, 1858, mentioned his third wife, Arabella Hall; 8 sons, Avery, Selden, Alfred, Erastus, Edwin, Orrin, John W., Theopolus, and William Hall; 3 daughters, Sarah (Minor), Lucy and her children as heirs, and Julia (Crook). It was presented to the Court by Selden Hall and Edwin Hall. Witnesses, James M. Clark, Emma Clark." This will appears in the Hall Family documents in the Family History Book.

He died on April 23, 1858, and was buried beside his second wife, Lucy, in Lorain County in a Cemetery located on the west side of SR 511 about 1/4 mile south of SR 18. This Cemetery began in 1850.
