He was a descendant of Christopher Avery (born England, died 12 March 1670) who had come to America in 1630 aboard the ''Arbella'' as part of the Winthrop Fleet. Avery married Leah Probart Francks (d. 13 January 1832) on 3 October 1778 in New Bern, North Carolina. A grandson, Isaac E. Avery, served as a colonel in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War, perishing at the Battle of Gettysburg. Another grandson was William Waightstill Avery, speaker of the North Carolina Senate and a member of the Confederate Congress. ()
