Gus Horton-son of Thomas B. Horton & Effie Sarver
I am looking for information on my grandfather's lineage.I have hit a roadblock.
Gus Horton (b. 6/26/1904 St.Louis, MO d. 7/14/1975 Indianapolis)born to Thomas Burton Horton (b1872 - in Indianapolis) and Effie Sarver(Sarber?) (b1884).Effie later married Marcus Waterman in 1916 in Irvington, Indiana (I have their marriage certificate). Effie and Marcus may have had a daughter named Charlotte.
All I have is documentation where Gus is applying for a birth certificate from state of Missouri, stating his parents names and ages; providing his marriage license to my grandmother - Mary Grayson(b7/13/1909 in Mt. Sterling,KY)they were married in 1928 in Jeffersonville, KY,; his public school record from Indianapolis, and a paystub.Missouri found no birth record but provide him one based on the information he submitted.
Does anyone have Thomas Burton Horton or Effie Sarver in their tree?For them , I have a nice pocket watch with "TH" carved inside and a beautiful locket with "EH" carved inside that grandpa Gus had wrapped up in an embroidered handkerchief in a wooden box.I have no history of what happened to Thomas.
Thanks for any assistance!
