James Avery, born 1620, came to New England in 1630 aboard the ship Arbella of the Winthrop fleet. This is implied, since he came with this father, Christopher, who is credited with the 1630 arrival. Some say, however, that they might have come in 1631 with Winthrop Jr., since he and James were great friends and may have become well acquainted on the 1631 voyage. James was 12 times deputy to the General Court (1658-1680). He died 18 April 1700. Married Joanna Greenslade 10 Nov. 1643.
