It does not appear to be the same family. I have gotten some information on the Avey family since my posting.
William Thomas Avey was born in September of 1858 in Illinois, one of ten children born to William H. Avey and Elizabeth Parks. At the age of about 10, his father moved the family from Ogle County, Illinois to Marshall County, Iowa. There in 1885 he married Dora Belle Rolston. Three children were born to the couple. In 1921 his wife preceded him in death. William died in 1936 and was buried in the Albion Cemetery in Marshall County, Iowa. He was survived by his daughter, Mrs. Mabel Schiebel.
