Still looking for any info on Orville Avery married a Mary Buchner. Their children were Eugene Lewis (married Clarinda Wilsey in WI), James D.

Letter from Aunt Louisa Avery Edson

Louisa writes; 

Now Dus (that was James nickname) Ma's (Mary Avery) father was german. He could not talk plain, and her mom was born in England. Don't you remember  we had a lot of money that was due her thru her mother, her name was Elsie Lemon, his name was Lewis Bugner (Buckner, Boughner). He was born in Germany.

 Pa's ancestors all came from England,3 Avery brothers came over on the mayflower. Dad (Orville) was a descendant of them, so you see he was English, he was born in Syracuse, New york, th 23rd of January,1833 and died the 11th of February 1903. I think he was about 73 (70) years old. You see Ma was Dutch and English. I knew Ma's Uncles, they were Henry and John Lemon, they were farmers that lived over on Lyon's Creek the name of the little place was called Cook's Mill, but afterward it was called Crowland and she was born on Lyon's Creek, it run thru her father's farm. She thought her birthday was in September, but one time she was back visiting her brother Rubeand he told her she was born in March, so that would make her birthday come in the year 1836, she was 20 years old when I was born, and they were married July 27th 1854 and she died January 24th (8th) 1906. I was born July, 25th 1856, Bessie was born when I was 20 years old, making her 59 this August 1st and I was married 60 years March, 1935.
