Carol responds:
That doesn't quite work because we know that LV didn't kill Cedric
personally. He ordered Wormtail to do it ("Kill the spare!"), which
Wormtail did, using Voldemort's wand. so it's possible that Wormtail
also killed Bertha Jorkins on Voldemort's orders.

Also, this list doesn't include people like Dorcas Meadowes and
Hepzibah Smith, not to mention the Riddles, who were personally killed
by LV before Godric's Hollow (surely there were many victims from VWI
whose names we don't know, including some of the Inferi in HBP, whom
LV killed directly) or Amanda Bones, whom he killed after the Priori
Incantatem incident.

I include Myrtle as someone he killed personally even though he used
the Basilisk instead of a wand, and I speculate that the great Dark
wizard Grindelwald was one of Voldemort's victims but I don't have any
real evidence. But the indisputable names on the list of people he
killed personally would be 

Tom Riddle Sr. and his parents (Tom Jr.'s grandparents)
Hepzibah Smith
Dorcas Meadowes
James and Lily Potter
Frank Bryce
Amanda Bones

Only the first five, killed before the Potters, would have been
available for Horcruxes--though I think we should add Moaning Myrtle
to the list as the murder used for the diary Horcrux. At any rate, we
have just enough murders for five or six Horcruxes before GH, setting
aside any others that we don't know about.

Carol, wondering why Dorcas Meadowes was important enough to be killed
by LV in person
