From the New Hampshire Genealogical Record, article by George F. Sanborn, Jr., F.A.S.G.
Moses Avery was born in Nottingham, N.H., a son of Benjamin and Mehitable (?Blake) Avery, and lived for many years in Barnstead, N.H., before settling in Ellsworth, N.H., where he and his wife died. She was Elizabeth [Betsey] Colbath, daughter of Pitman and Jane (Hodgdon) Colbath of Portsmouth, N.H. The Moses Avery family Bible was copied many years ago by one of my Avery relatives, perhaps by my great-grandfather Avery's sister, the late Mary Helen "Nellie" (Avery) Tarlson of The Weirs, N.H., now a part of the City of Laconia and called Weirs Beach. What became of the original Bible is not known, nor is it known where the Bible was when it was copied. I am in possession of the transcription of it, which itself is rather old. Following is a verbatim copy of the transcription which presumably follows the format of the original record. Nicknames are used below for four of the children: Jennie's name was actually Jane; Tempy's correct name was Temperance; Polly was a nickname for Mary; and Betsy was named Elizabeth, like her mother, who was also often called Betsy. These children were born in Barnstead; their mother was born in Portsmouth, and the parents were married in the latter place.
