George Helton 1897 KY - 1971 Clay Co KY s/o Robert & Nancy ROARK Helton, md in 1919 Clay Co KY to Maggie SINGLETON (d 1920). So he is actually a brother-in-law to Benjamin Combs and not just a boarder.
Harrison HELTON *may* be George's 1st cousin, Benjamin “Harrison” HELTON 1891 Ky d 1963 Butler Co OH. His wife appears to be the right age to be Dora SINGLETON, d/o Ira and Lizzie. If this is the same Harrison HELTON, he was the s/o William & Eliza FREEMAN Helton and he married Mary McDANIEL in 1925 in Lebanon, OH.
