My mother knew him as "Uncle Verly" but I can't make the conection. He may be an honorary uncle but I suspect there is some true connection, if not an actual uncle. In the household in 1930 is Thomas Baton, listed as brother in law. Since I am not aware of anyone actually named Baton, I think it may be a smudged writing of Barton. That would be interesting because the next door neighbors, by great great grandparents named a son Barton Mumford. "Uncle Verly" in 1930 has a son named Billy, which I have "Uncle Verly" as having had a first wife Gertrude who was born in 1900 and is presumed dead in 1923. That is because she appears in the 1920 census as his wife, and then in 1930 Sallie is his wife and had been married 6 years.
