Individual Details

George Roy Denton

(6 Jan 1885 - Dec 1960)

The 1900 census for Edmonson Co., Kentucky has G. R. Denton in L. P. Denton's household. G. R. is listed as age 15 and son of L. P. However I have a letter written by Jessie Denton in which she describes her family. She mentions her brother R. E. L. Denton and states that she has one half-brother, Joe Tilford Denton. She doesn't mention this man. In a letter from Rhea Goff Elkins, she states that her mother, Jessie Denton had one brother, Emmett Denton and two half-brothers Joe and Roy Denton. However, the age and birthdate I have for G. R. (Roy) doesn't work to be a half brother. His age stays consistent through the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 census. In 1910, Leonard is living with Roy, and is listed as father. But is G. R.'s mother Georgia? This needs some work.
