Deann,
I am also a desendant of Michael Awalt, my father was Cliffard Mack Awalt, his father James Clinton Awalt. My grandmother lived to be over 100 years old in Halstead Kansas. My brother Bill Awalt and I are the last of the Awalt clan. As there were no sons born other than us and we have no sons. I live on Lake Travis in Austin Texas area. My brother and I flew to Awalt Bend area in TN and located the burial site. We even crossed "Awalt" bridge.
Best Wishes
James Clinton Awalt
