I received the following email from another Avery / Every researcher who needs help with a DNA project. UPDATE: I have been informed that Dick Allen's email link no longer works, so I have removed it. Please use the email links on the Avery/Every Public Web Site below Dick's message.
I'm Dick Allen, a descendant of Uriah Every and Miriam Hill. I am looking for a living male Avery/Every who is descended from Old Uriah. I am the co-administrator of the Avery/Every family Group Project at Family Tree DNA. We have several Avery's and one Every in our family group project. We do not yet have a descendant of Uriah Every in the project. If we could get one or more, we could determine if Uriah was an Every or an Every.We have several Avery's in the project who have paper back to Christopher Every who came from England in the 1600's. The one Every we have does not match their DNA. This Every may be of the same line as Old Uriah, DNA will tell.
Thanks for your help.
Dick Allen, 4th Gr. Grandson of Uriah Every.

Uriah and his wife came to the Shokan area of Ulster County after the Revolutionary War with the HILL family. They were early settlers of the Shokan and West Shokan area. Uriah lived at some time in Delaware County, at least one of their children was born there. They had ten children (I only find nine - RT). Many of his descendants used the spelling EVERY.
Other sources have 1883 as Andrew's death date, but I haven't found yet found him after the 1870 census.
Andrew's thirteen children are as follows:
Jane Edith BARRINGER, Dau of Peter and Cath. HAUVER BARRINGER and her husband Andrew Perry AVERY. He in Civil War listed 'gray eyes - hair mixed - 5' 10" son of Andrew P AVERY and Judah BELLAndrew enlisted during the Civil War and served in Company E, 15th Engineers Regiment, New York. There is a Distinguished Service notation on the records I found at Ancestry.com - no details on this yet.
Andrew and Jane are buried in Bushkill Cemetery. Their children are listed as follows:
They were living in the Moon Haw area in Olive Twp. (I think), Ulster County, NY when, in her 80s, Arminda dropped a lighted lantern. She died from the resulting burns and Uriah died two weeks later. This photo, contributed by a relative, is of the chimney from that house. The chimney is still there. I took a photo of it when I was in the area in May 2002, but have not scanned it yet. It may not come out well as the nearby creek was quite high and I didn't want to try to cross it to get closer with my heavy camera bag.
The chimney in the photo is from the house that burned in the fire mentioned above. I centered a Google map on the approximate area. I haven't been up that way in awhile and memory's not as clear as it was, but I think that the chimney was located just east of Moon Haw Road across from the creek.
Grandma's book mentions the following about this family:
Uriah and Arminda had thirteen children, moved about 1850 to Michigan. Their descendants are widely scattered in Wyoming, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Idaho, and New York State.
Uriah and Arminda had fourteen children.
Charles Bell had one daughter, Geneva (born ca. 1895) with his second wife Anna Kewley (born 1858 in Iowa).
Several of this family were involved in logging in Washington state.
Carrie married second to Joseph D. McAfee (born ca. 1884 in Georgia), with whom she and her two youngest children are living in Grays Harbor County, Washington in the 1920 U.S. census.
Carrie married third in Tacoma, Washington in 1924 to Melvin Haydeen (1898 - 1970).
Jacob Avery married first to a woman surnamed Welch. They had two sons:
Jacob then married Caroline Bakon. Jacob and Caroline had seven children.
Gilbert married second to Sarah Jeanette "Nettie" Wilson (1849 - 1945) and they had ten children:
