I am looking for information on Mathew AVERETTs first wife, the mother of Johnson EVERETT, I think he may have lived in KY before moving to Clay Co., MO about 1820.His first wife must have died about that time.His farm was located next to John CHURCH’s farm outside of Liberty MO. John died in late Dec or early Jan 1830, and this widow Rebecca married Mathew AVERETT within two weeks of his death.A woman could not own land at that time.The Laffoon family is connected to the COLE and JAMES families on Kearney, Clay Co., MO.
Howard AVERETT was very active in the formation of Clay Co., MO.He was County Commissioner, and Minister .
