- Biography of Prof. William Green Avera
Prof. William Green Avera (b. 1855, Clinch Co., GA) descended from a line of Georgia pioneers. His great-grandfather, Moore Avera, of Welsh ancestry, migrated from Robeson Co., NC, to Wilkinson Co., GA, where he farmed and raised livestock. His grandfather, Daniel Avera, moved to Lowndes Co. in 1845, later settling in Clinch Co. near the Okefenokee Swamp. Prof. Avera’s father, Stephen Willis Avera (b. 1836), served in the Confederate Army before resuming farming. His mother, Martha Elizabeth Aikins, was the daughter of William Green and Winnie Ann (Moore) Aikins. Through two marriages, Avera’s lineage extended through multiple generations of educators and farmers in Berrien Co. and beyond.
