      NOTE: On 18 Mar 1839 Mary Mustain, 74, applied for a pension stating that she married Avery Mustain in March 1783, and he died 31 Aug 1833. A typed summary states that her maiden name was Mary Barber. With her application is a family record with the names and dates of birth of their children and apparently some grandchildren.

    • List of Birth Dates for Avery Mustain’s Children from his 1801 Bible
      Background – This record was written on the inside cover of Avery Mustain's 1801 bible and submitted as part of his Revolutionary War pension application. It helped establish that he was married to Mary and that as his widow she would be eligible for a pension payment.

      The record lists (1) his children and (2) his grandchildren through his oldest daughter, Saludy. It is assumed that Clark H. Moore is the grandson mentioned in Avery's will as Clark Mustain. Based on Clark’s birth in 1807 and Saludy's age, she is the only one of Avery’s children who could be the mother. Saludy didn't marry Samuel Dalton until 1809, two years after Clark was born. Clark's father is unknown as is whether he married Saludy (or died soon after conceiving Clark).
