    • Various names given. Brother Marvin's bio says D. Alton. Father's 1910 census says Alton. Per John Gaines, Selma says his father's name was really Denny Alton. However, Mrs. Icy (Selma's mother) called him Dan Alton. History of Scotts Hill, TN says Denny Alton.

      There's an Alton GOFF on Image 10 of 19 on Ancestry.com's 1910 Decatur Co., TN census (10th Dist) but his wife's name is Vica. He's in his 20's. Probably not him.
