Martin Alex Avalon (1914 - 1974)..only son of Peter Maurice (1887 -1965) and Ada M Cole Avalon
(1892 - 1925) from Pennsylvania.
Martin made his way to Tennessee, probably following construction jobs.
I am trying to find proof of his marriage to the first two wives. There was a daughter named Ada, by his first marriage to Pauline in Pennsylvania. Do not have her maiden name. No record of a marriage found.
Also a daughter named Millie, by his second marriage to Audrey Marie McWhorter in Tennessee. No record of a marriage found.
My mother Georgia, was his third wife, and they had a son Martin "Marty" Alex Avalon, Jr. in 1960. They lived in Knoxville, TN, but supposed to have married in another county or state. No record of a marriage found.
Fourth marriage to Frances L Hankins, no children. Found a marriage record in Roane County, Tennessee for October 23, 1967.
Martin had a heart attack, after getting his car pulled over and stopped, and died December 1974, on Broadway in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was found by the police, who contacted my mother. He was only 60 years of age.
If anyone can help me, especially with info about the first wife Pauline, and their daughter Ada, I would appreciate it.
Thanks...Betty Breeden, Knoxville, Tennessee (
