His parent's were James Parton and a Delilah (or possibly??Lilah Henderson??) Henderson.

Check other surname helper sites for more detail on other individual family specifics or e-mail me with questions at my e-mail Kittyparton@hotmail.com. My grandmother was Bessie Louise H E lton Helton. Her mother was Ruby Esmeradla Wilson who married a Dave Helton (William) is in parantheses next to the name Dave Helton which my mother wrote on the back of a copy of a photo. No one seems to know who the grandparent's of my grandmother are? My grandmother was kind of "fast" I think, maybe I'm wrong? She had my Aunt Betty with a man named Thomas Jenkins. She then moved to Ohio or Indiana where my grandfather Jay Eastel Parton married first to Ethel Mabes left Kentucky/Tennessee area and took my grandmother and her small daughter Betty Lou with him to California. My grandmother had a brother and sister Alfred Helton and Chrystine or Christine (It was Chrystine in a census) and then two half brother's Herbert and Harold Andresen.
