Many thanks to Emily Kantor for an email in 2-09 that included the record of what appears to be a deed from Elizabeth's father, Drury Vinson, to his son Archibald (full extract on Drury Vinson page) which suggests Elizabeth's mother was named Winifred and perhaps her grandfather was named John Vinson Sr. and perhaps there was an Uncle Aaron Vinson

Her maiden name was sometimes spelled Venson or "Vincent." Considering the French pronunciation of Vincent is Vinson and Averet would be something like Averay or Avera (as it was alternately spelled), this suggests the families originated in France or Scotland.

 

Her husband's father was in the Revolutionary War.
