There is some discrepancy in the birth date of Margaret - her gravestone indicates she was likely born in the year 1799. However, the LDS records of the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo, state an exact birthdate and place for Margaret (Adams) Avery of 26 August 1802, Pennsylvania.
She was the wife of Daniel Avery, Jr. Joined the LDS Church around 1835--baptized by Solomon Wixom. She was a member of the Nauvoo, Illinois, Relief Society of the LDS Church. When Brigham Young began to lead the LDS Church, Margaret instead chose to follow the leadership of James Strang, who was gathering followers in Voree, Wisconsin. She resided in Wisconsin at least from 1846-1848. However, by 1850, the family was living back in Schuyler County, Illinois. CHILDREN: Matilda; Philander; Rebecca; Nancy; Sarah Carter [married Lewis Carter]; Elizabeth J.; Charles [Resided: Industry, IL circa 1892]; Zavin; Margaret J.
