Notes:

Research Notes:

She is probably Frances Graham Avery, born 25 Oct 1830, daughter of Elisha Simeon Avery and Cornelia Ann Young, based on the following reasoning.

Her death notice appears in the 8 Dec 1860 issue of The Norwich Aurora (Norwich, Connecticut). In the death notice she is called Frances Graham Wheelock, of Chelsea, Mass., "wife of E. W. Wheelock of Chelsea & dau. of (Mrs.) Cornelia A. Thomas of Norwich," died Dec. 1, 1860.¹

According to The Groton Avery Clan, her mother, Cornelia A. Thomas (nee Young) of Norwich, married first Elisha Simeon Avery in Norwich. They had a child F. G. Avery, born 25 Oct 1830, daughter of Elisha Simeon and Cornelia Ann (Young) Avery. Unfortunately, her full name is not spelled out in the book, only her initials "F. G." are given. Elisha Simeon Avery died at sea on 18 Dec 1833, after which Cornelia married David Y. Thomas.²

A mortuary notice for Elisha S. Avery, published in the Hampden Whig (Springfield, Massachusetts) calls him "formerly of this town," perhaps explaining why Fannie's death record says she was born in Springfield.⁵

Cornelia A. Thomas, widow of the late David Y. Thomas, of Port Gibson, Mississippi, died in Norwich, 20? Aug 1870, aged 63 years.³ She is buried in Norwich City Cemetery, Norwich, Connecticut.⁴
