Family
Father*John B. Aveline1 b. Apr 1861, d. Jul 1932
Mother*Ruth A. Wilson1 b. 28 Jul 1864, d. 11 Nov 1949
Birth*20 July 1912Robert Francis Aveline was born on 20 July 1912 in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.1 
Census State KS 1915*1915Robert was listed with his mother, Ruth A. Maulsby, on the 1915 Kansas State census in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. He was 3 years old.2 
(Son) Residence30 January 1917His father, John B. Aveline, a sign painter and violinist, had been working and living in Caney, Montgomery County, Kansas, and on 30 January 1917, he packed up his affairs in Caney and moved back to Wichita to join his wife and son who had been spending much of their time.3 
(Son) Census US 19209 January 1920Robert was enumerated with the surname "Maulsby", his mother's second husband's name, on the 1920 census taken on 9 January 1920 in the household of his mother at 1957 S. Wichita Street, Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. He was 7 years old and had attended school within the census year.4 
Injury*20 August 1921 A Wichita newspaper reported that on Saturday, 20 August 1921, Robert Aveline, small son of Madam Ruth Maulsby Aveline, of 409 East Douglas Avenue, suffered an injury to the second toe of his right foot when his foot was caught in the machinery of a gasoline engine. He was removed to a hospital where it was found necessary to amputate the toe. Robert was 9 years old.5 
(son) Divorce Filing8 July 1922Robert was 10 years old when his mother filed for divorce from his father on 8 July 1922 in District Court, Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. A newspaper account of her petition reported that Ruth, a Clairvoyant, alleged non-support and abandonment as her grounds, and recited that they were married in Salina in 1911 and had one boy, age 10, as a result of their union.6 
(Son) Residence1925Robert Aveline was listed with his mother, Ruth M. Aveline, at 1115 S. Meridian Avenue in the Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, City Directory of 1925. Robert was a student and his mother was working as a Medium.7 
Missing Person*11 July 1925The first time Robert Aveline ran away from his home at 1115 South Meridian Avenue, Wichita, Kansas, was on 11 July 1925. His anxious mother described him as 13 years old, with brown eyes and hair. One toe was missing from his right foot, and he had been wearing dark blue serge pants and a light shirt.

He went missing a second time eighteen months later. A Wichita newspaper reported that his mother was heart-broken because her son, Robert Aveline, 15 years old, had run away from home Monday morning, 3 January 1927, with a neighbor boy, Theodore Montayne, 16, of 1231 South Meridian Avenue. His mother, Madam Maulsby Aveline, believed that the boys had planned to leave Wichita several days before, and was appealing to peace officers in Kansas to urge her boy to return home if they happened to find him and, if he refused to return home, to hold him and call Wichita's chief of police. She said that Robert, who was large for his age, had light brown hair, brown eyes, weighed 135 pounds, was five feet, five inches tall and was of slender build. His right ear was larger than his left, and that when Robert left home, he was wearing corduroy trousers, a blue serge coat, and tan shoes. She said the Montayne boy had black hair, gray eyes, and was stoop shouldered. He had bony features, talked with a drawl, and was about five feet, nine inches tall. He had been wearing a black suit when he left home. He was a mechanic by trade, and had left school some time before to accept employment at the Ben Sibbitt foundry. The article reported that Madam Aveline's downtown office was at 125½ West Douglas Avenue. The same newspaper, two weeks later, wrote that Robert Aveline had not been heard from since his disappearance. His mother said that the boy had been lured away on a previous occasion and that she feared he had been kidnapped again. She thought that a reward would be offered for his return by interested persons in Wichita. As the end of January approached, the newspaper reported that Robert's mother, Madame Maulsby Aveline, 125½ West Douglas Avenue, was grief stricken and seriously ill at her home because her boy, who had left home three weeks before, had not returned. There was fear she would not recover. For three days and nights, Madame Aveline had been unable to sleep. Worn out and wearied by hours of search for the boy, she was on the verge of a physical and mental breakdown. Her son, Robert Aveline, disappeared while on his way to school, and no trace had been found of him since.

On Sunday, 13 March 1927, The Wichita Eagle reported that a nation-wide search had been instituted for Robert Aveline, 14, the son of Mrs. Ruth Aveline of Wichita, who had been missing since January 3, and that probation and police officials throughout the country had been sent notices regarding the youth's strange disappearance. The item stated that it was believed that he left Wichita with Theodore Montayne, age 17. Robert was described as looking older than his true age. He was five feet, five inches tall, and had brown hair and eyes. The Montayne youth was five feet, ten inches in height, and had blue eyes, black hair and a dark complexion. He was wanted only to aid in finding the Aveline boy. A reward of $25 had been offered for information leading to the safe return of young Aveline. The following week, on 20 March, the same newspaper again mentioned the reward opportunity, reporting that, having had no word from her son Robert since his mysterious disappearance the previous January, she had offered a $25 reward for his safe return. Her appeal reminded readers that the boy was 14 years old and that she believed he left Wichita with Theodore Montayne, age 17, whose photograph accompanied the article. Robert's mother, Mrs. Ruth Aveline, whose office was at 125 West Douglas Avenue, declared that the strain of her loss was too much for her to bear longer. She could not properly concentrate on her work and feared a breakdown unless her son was restored to her.

On 29 April, a second newspaper, The Wichita Beacon, reported that the psychic powers of Madame Aveline, combined with the police departments of many cities, had failed to uncover the whereabouts of her son, Robert Aveline, who had been listed as missing for the last three months. Madame Aveline, a medium, had not been content to rely on her spiritualistic insight solely, in the search for the youth, but had enlisted the aid of the probation office. It was stated that practically every morning, A. E. Jones, probation officer, had received a call from Madame, and on that day, as on previous days, he had been forced to reply, "No word yet." Robert, aged 14, and his pal, Theodore Montayne, aged 17, disappeared on the same day. Montayne had worked as a mechanic in Wichita and was wanted only because he was believed to have taken the youth away. The article noted that a reward of $25 was offered for the safe return of Robert to Mr. Jones, probation officer.

The last newspaper mention we found regarding Robert's disappearance was published in The Wichita Eagle on Tuesday, 17 May 1927, which reported that Madam Maulsby Aveline was of the opinion that the lad found the previous day wandering about near Alva, Oklahoma in a dazed condition was her boy Robert, who had disappeared from Wichita some months earlier. The sheriff who found the boy was unable to learn where he lived, as the boy thought he had spent the winter in Blackwell, Oklahoma and that he lived in Hutchinson, Kansas. Madam Aveline called the sheriff the previous night and said the description of the youth tallied with that of her son.8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 
(Son) Residence1934Robert Aveline was listed with his mother, Ruth M. Aveline, at 1115 S. Meridian Avenue in the Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, City Directory of 1934. Robert was a student and his mother was working as a Medium.7 
Education*10 June 1934Robert F. Aveline's name and photo were published in a Wichita newspaper on 10 June 1934, along with other graduates of the 1934 Class of Wichita High School North, Wichita, Kansas.16

Reverend Joseph Avery1

(Friend) Emigration5 April 1635Joseph, with his wife and children, sailed from Southampton, Hampshire, England, to New England on 5 April 1635 with his close friend Antony Thacher, and his family, on the ship James of London. Joseph's name, however, does not appear on the ship's passenger list. He was a Puritan priest, and probably sailed under an assumed name to avoid scrutiny.1 
Relationship Note*Before departing England together on the James, Reverend Joseph Avery and Antony Thacher, calling themselves "cousins", had been very close friends and had made an agreement to settle their families in the same place.1 
(Friend) Relocation15 August 1635 Neither the exact place, nor date, of landing in New England of the ship James has been agreed upon by historians. Whether Boston, Newbury or Ipswich, wherever the passengers first landed, Antony Thacher and Joseph Avery and their families sojourned for a short time in Ipswich, Massachusetts. While there, Reverend Avery received a call to preach in Marblehead, then a part of Salem. During the time he took for deliberation, the two families removed to Newbury with plans to settle there. But after Avery accepted the call to Marblehead, he and his family of eleven all told, accompanied by Antony Thacher and his wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher, and his children by his first wife, William, Edith, Mary and Peter, went back to Ipswich. From there they embarked for Marblehead. Antony Thacher's nephew, Thomas Thacher, who had sailed with his uncle's family to New England, felt a sentiment of evil about the trip and did not accompany them on the voyage. Instead Thomas decided to make the journey overland despite the danger of being attacked by hostile Indians. The Thacher-Avery party embarked from Ipswich for Marblehead in a pinnace and the vessel was wrecked on 15 August 1635. All on board were lost except Antony Thacher and his second wife Elizabeth (Jones) Thacher.1
