Looking for information on grandfather's parents. Gus Eugene Horton is my grandfather. I have a request from him(in 1958) to St. Louis for proof of birth. He had fill out a form H-208 Special Certificate of Birth & Affidavits and also sent his marriage certificate to my grandmother, and a public school registration from Indianapolis. He requested this to get social security #. His birthday was 6/26/1904 St. Louis and he died in Indianapolis in 1975. It lists his parents as Thomas Burton Horton and Effie Sarber (Sarver) on his request, and death certificate. The paperwork seemed strange? Thomas died when my grandfather was a child and Effie remarried to Marcus Waterman. I have hit a roadblock with Thomas and have found conflicting information with regards to Effie. I recently received info that Effie was daughter of Thomas Smith Horton and Addie Sarver Horton, but my timeline wasn't matching up. Anyone have anything or any suggestions? Thanks!

I know that the late Johnny Horton the singer has a brother that 's named Tommy Horton, and there is a Freda Marlene Horton that lives in Louisville, KY that says she is their cousin, so you might want to make contact with her. >From: IttBeeUss@aol.com >Reply-To: HORTON-L@rootsweb.com >To: HORTON-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [HORTON] Gus Horton >Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2005 10:41:44 EST > >Looking for information on grandfather's parents. >Gus Eugene Horton is my grandfather.
