Hh 2409. John Avery, age 10, b. IL, lived in the household of Daniel & Frances McBoy.
Hh 2227 A Sarah W. Avery, age 17, lived in the household of Millard & Mary F. Keyes. Mrs. Keyes was 59 years old, b. NH, and cannot be the Mary F., oldest child of Stephen Avery. Nor am I certain this is the correct Sarah Avery, who should be age 20 in 1860.

By 1870, only John E. Avery, age 20, is found in Adams Co. He was a railroad baggage man, living in a rooming house in Quincy.
