I visited the Danville Cemetery twice last year trying to make the Horton / Birdsong connection. Would you happen to have any additional information on Opal Horton's parents and family? In the 1930 Gregg Co., TX she's with father, Lewis whose 1st name is Bear, mother Bell, whose 1st name is Lillie, and younger siblings Ruth May and Sallie. I'm trying to make a connection between Opal's father, Bear Lewis Horton b. 1891 AL, and a John Horton b. abt. 1861 GA. I believe they are father and son, but I have nothing to prove it. Do you know of the connection? Also, one of Opal's siblings, Ruth May Horton b. 17 Feb 1923 married on 17 July 1946 to Sherman R. "Shank" Spivey b. 06 Jul 1917 and d. 19 Feb 1997. There isn't a death date for Ruth, so I'm assuming she's still living in Gregg Co., TX. If you can help by providing more information about Opal's parents I would greatly appreciate it. I'm looking forward to your response. And, again, thank you for the Birdsong information. Sincerely, Amanda Horton
