My ggrandftr, Andrew D. WHEATON, Jr. was born in Luling, Texas Dec 22, 1874 according to his death cert. His parents are listed as Andrew D. Wheaton, Sr. and Nancy Ann SHELTON. The only thing I have been able to locate is an A. Wheaton in the 1870 index for Gonzales Co. According to family lore, both of Andrew Jr.'s parents died when he was very young. Do you have access to cemetery & marriage indexes for those counties? I would really appreciate a lookup. Thanks so much. Cheryl
