fact sources and writings about this individual:
1Ontario vital statistics "births,deaths&marriages" certificate #020376/70 Born Mahlon Everingham to parents; James H. Everingham and Margaret Lymburner.

Research below from Kevin Everingham of MI, 2010 & 2024.
1880 US CENSUS Huron City, Huron County, Michigan (Sheet 87C).. "James Avery, 32, b.CAN,.. Margaret Avery, 29, wife,.. Mahlon Avery 9, son, Henry Avery 6, son,.. Emma Avery 5, dau,.. Arthur Avery 2, son." all born in Canada except Arthur born in MI. Living next door was his brother; Eugene Everingham 22, living in a boarding house.
1880 Huron County Birth Record (Pg 379, #586).. "Florence Maule, female, b.2 Aug 1880 at Sand Beach, Huron, Michigan, daughter of George & Maria Maule."

Mahlon's family lived at Harbor Beach, Huron County, MI
1892 The Huron Times, Harbor Beach, MI, Dec 9, 1892.. "While out hunting on Tuesday, Harvey Clements, Fred Clements and Mahlon Avery succeeded in bagging thirteen rabbits and a fox in the short period of two hours."

1897 The Times, Harbor Beach, MI, Fri., Sept 24, 1897.. "Married at Grand Rapids, Minn., August 30, Malon Avery and Florence Maule. Both are highly respected young people well known in Sand Beach. They will spend their honeymoon at Deer River. Mr. and Mrs. Avery will make their future home at Gull Lake, may their journey thorough life be a happy one."

1903 Huron County, Michigan birth records show; "Erwin James Avery, born 11 June 1903 at Sand Beach Township, Huron, MI, his parents were; Mahlon & Florence Avery."

1905 STATE CENSUS Port Hope Township, Beltrami, Minn. (Page 519, line 1).. "Malon Avery 35, b.MI,.. Florence Avery 24, b.MI,.. Edwin D., 7, b.MN,.. Irwin Avery,.. William Avery 22, b.MI." Mahlon's brother William is living with them.

In the election returns of Bemidji, Minnesota, March 13, 1907,.. for the town of Port Hope, elected Constables were; Malon Avery and William Souder.

1910 US CENSUS Port Hope Township, Beltrami, Minnesota, (Sheet 9B).. "Malon J. Avery 39, b.MI, married 13 years, father b.NY, mother b.CAN,.. Florence 29, b.MI, wife,.. Edwin D. 12, son,.. Irwin J. 6, son,.. William L. 3, son,.. Gladys 1, dau."

1914 The Bemidji Daily Pioneer, Dec 11, 1914.. "(Tenstrike) A dance was given in the Guild hall, Friday evening, the proceeds being presented to Malon Avery, who recently returned from Rochester where he recieved medical treatment."
1914 Rochester, Minnesota death certificate (#500)... "Malone Avery, born 1870, age 44, died Dec 28, 1914, married, parents unknown" Is this the same Mahlon? Notes on this death record from the county ledger show his father as James Avery and mother as Margie (Gymborneor) or Lymbornor. The writing is bad enough that it was recorded as "unknown" on the actual death certificate. I have not seen the record but it appears to be a probable match!

NAME CHANGE;
Much of the information about James Everingham and Margaret Lymburner becoming James & Margaret AVERY seems unlikely at first, but is completely explained with evidence and proof in the 634pg. book; Everingham Family History, vol.1 (c)2024 Mahlon was definately born an Everingham, but when his parents moved to Michigan, he was still a boy and they all went by the name AVERY.
