  Valton's Social security record gives us some details about his birth and death.
  
  However, shortly thereafter, I found another Valton Green whose birthday was only about a month different from the one in Texas.  His birth in June matches more closely with the census birth date estimate.  Further, his SSN was issued in Oklahoma, which makes it more likely he is the one.  The Social Security Death Index does not record the place of death of the Oklahoma Valton Green.

  I have found several individuals in Texas and Oklahoma with the name Valton Green.  One in California also.  Though this name was strange to me, I have even found one in Lancashire, England.  I found the record of one Valton Green in Texas, whose birth date was very close to what I figured from the age of ou8r Valton in the 1930 census.  His Social security Number was issued in Texas.

  This Texas Valton Green was reported in the 1940 census in Houston with his parents,  That census indicates they were living in Wheeler County, Texas in 1935.  Our Valton was with his parents in Love County, Oklahoma for the 1940 census.
