Avery was born at Edson Corners, Oswego, New York, on 1 July 1797.[1] The date of his baptism into the early Latter Day Saint church is unknown, but he was present with the Latter Day Saints in Missouri when they began to be driven out of that state in 1838.[2] In December 1839, movement founder Joseph Smith called on Avery to organize a quorum of elders in Montrose, Iowa.[3] On January 4, 1840, Avery was ordained president of the elders quorum in Montrose by Abraham O. Smoot.[4]
On December 2, 1843, Avery was kidnapped at Bear Creek Precinct, Hancock County, Illinois, by a group which included Levi Williams, John Elliott, and others, who accused him of stealing a horse and colt about four years earlier.[5][6] Avery spent several weeks in a Missouri prison at Monticello, Lewis County, Missouri, but was released on December 25 after a successful habeas corpus petition.[7]
