Family Mythology

My great-uncle "Nick" (Richard Nicholas) AVERY was a blacksmith in
Creasaptown, MD. His brother James Henry AVERY (my grandfather) was married
to Armenia Susan HUDSON, daughter of Hanna HUDSON (Hanna Van METER).
My father Lawrence Avery talked about working the bellows for uncle "Nick",
but I don't know exactly when. However judging my father's age it would have
been sometime between 1915 and about 1923. James Henry AVERY died in 1927
after moving his family to Reading, PA.
Hanna Van METER and Mr. Hudson had other children: Shaw, Brace, Frank,
Clara, Verda, and Nellie.

James Henry AVERY was born Feb. 29, 1864 in MD. and died Jan. 8, 1927 in
Reading, PA.
Armenia Susan Hudson was born Nov. 27, 1875 in MD. and died 1948 in
Wernersville, PA.

After Mr. HUDSON, Hanna HUDSON married Richard Nicholas AVERY(uncle
"Nick")
I have some other myths if anyone knows anything about these people.
