Notes - His will gives "vnto my eldest daughter Margarett Avery in new England Twenty shillings of Lawfull money it ever it be Demanded, to be paid vnto her by me Executor."
For many years it was assumed without proof that the William Avery who came to Dedham around 1650 was the William Avery who was a son of Robert Avery of Barkham in Berkshire. This will, first published by Elizabeth French in the October 1909 "Genealogical Research in England" section of the NEHGR (citation details below) — coupled with the fact that Barkham is only two miles from Arborfield — makes it seem very likely that the two William Averys were in fact a single individual.
