Velma,
My grandmother was your grandfather's sister, Julia Etta Avant, whose parents were Francis Marion Avant and Mary Ann Hill.My mother, named for her paternal grandfather, was Francis Marion McCoy.
Julia is not on the family history on the web, most likely because the 1880 census stopped with her next oldest sister, Mary (who was born abt. 1878), and the 1890 census burned.By the time the 1900 census was taken, Julia had married and left home.
Please let me know whether or not you or your family members have any knowledge of her.
