No Delilah the James Avans I was referring to was a brother of Thomas Jefferson Avans. He was either a full brother or a half brother and from the census records he would be a full brother. It gets confusing doesn't it. This Jim was 66 years old in 1930 and was the father of a 6 year old son. The son was alive last year. From all I can gather from family stories he left this wife in Knoxville and left with a younger woman.
