1787 state census of North Carolina, Johnston County

NOTE that the two Alexanders listed here are probably Daniel's brother and father. Though his brother, on this website referred to as Alexander Averet Sr, had a son (Alexander Averet Jr) the son did not marry until 1800. Therefore the other Alexander in the 1787 census is likely Alexander Averytt the 1st, father of Alexander Sr and Daniel

 (Note the census was taken in April, and Alexander Averet Jr. married Elizabeth Vinson in January--that there is not a third A.A. in Johnston County  implies that Alexander the 1st died some time between the 1790 census and the 1800 census, and perhaps it was some inheritance that enabled to A. Jr. to marry. The ages of the A. Jr. household here support the idea the Alexander the 1st has left the stage)

White, 1992 p. 2510. States that Sally Ingram, maiden name Averyt, was first married in 1790 to Nahor Norris who died c. 1801. She then married Ambrose Ingram who died in 1836. Sally herself died 3-4-1846 at age 80, leaving no children by her first marriage (last child Alexander Norris an Episcopal minister died at Smithfield VA in 1839). Henry Ingram only surviving child of 2nd marriage applied for benefits.

        Asserted his mother was daughter of Alexander Averyt who sat in the 1st NC Legislature and his grandfather was "well acquainted with General Washington and General Lafayette." Said his grandfather was "drafted to in the Revolutionary war and he hired his brother, Daniel Averyt, to take his place. The said Daniel Averyt started about the same time that Nahor Norris did in the War. Daniel Averyt was in the Battle of Brandywine and fired there till his gun bursted in his hands and the fountain of Brandywine run blood and water three days and nights."
