Tom Riddle created his next Horcrux using a locket once owned by Salazar Slytherin and which had belonged to Riddle's mother, Merope Gaunt. The spell was cast after Riddle murdered a Muggle tramp. The locket is introduced briefly in Order of the Phoenix (described only as "a heavy locket that none of them could open") and is destroyed by Ron Weasley in the nineteenth chapter of Deathly Hallows.Slytherin's locket was passed down through the generations and eventually ended up in the possession of Merope Gaunt. After being abandoned by her husband Tom Riddle Senior, Merope sold the locket to Caractacus Burke, shopkeeper of Borgin & Burkes, for ten galleons, a fraction of the Locket's true value. The locket was eventually sold to Hepzibah Smith. Riddle stole the locket, along with Helga Hufflepuff's cup, after murdering Smith. Once the locket became a Horcrux, Voldemort hid it in a cave where he had once terrorized two of his fellow orphans. The cave's magical protection included a door that could only be opened with a blood offering, an enchanted boat, and the use of Inferi.Disillusioned Death Eater Regulus Black learned about the Horcrux and its hiding place. In an effort to bring about Voldemort's eventual downfall, he and his house elf Kreacher broke through the magical protection and stole the locket. While Black died in the effort, killed by the surrounding inferi, Kreacher took the locket back to their home at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Kreacher continued to protect the locket for years. However, while the Order of the Phoenix was using the house as its headquarters, the locket was stolen by Mundungus Fletcher, a petty criminal and member of the Order. He gave it to Dolores Umbridge as a bribe when she caught him selling stolen property.Two years later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione infiltrated the Ministry of Magic, where Umbridge worked, and stole the locket. Ron later saved Harry from being strangled by the locket. The Horcrux inside assumed the shape of Harry and Hermione and played on Ron's fear that Harry and Hermione had started a relationship during his absence (and his longer-held fear that in Hermione's eyes he, Ron, would never match up to Harry). The Horcrux attempted to possess him, but Ron overcame its influence and destroyed it using the sword of Godric Gryffindor.

It was stolen by Regulus Black who gave it to Kreacher and told him to destroy it. Despite Kreacher's best efforts he couldn't destroy it and so hid it inside one of the cabinets at Grimnauld Place. It was then thrown away in the fifth book during the cleaning efforts (J.K. Rowling mentioned that there was a locket nobody could open).

Kreacher managed to sneak it out the bag and kept it in his den, until Mundungus Flethcer raided the house and took it. While trying to sell it Dolores Umbridge took it from him.

After breaking into the Ministry, Harry, Ron and Hermione finally manage to get it back. It was destroyed by Ron Weasley.

Voldemort was using the Elder wand when he cast the killing curse towards Harry. However, Voldemort wasn't the master of the Elder wand: Harry was. So when Harry cast his disarming charm, the Elder wand recognised it was being used against it's true master and so left Voldemort's hand and flew over to Harry. This left Voldemort defenceless against the incoming rebounded curse and he died. Harry was, at the time, using Draco Malfoy's wand.

So since Harry only rebounded the curse, the wand belonged to Harry himself but Harry never accepted the wand so it really belonged to, and is still considered to do so, Albus Dumbledore.

The 'Horcrux Ring', or Gaunt's Ring was owned by the Gaunt Family when it first made its appearance to readers in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The Gaunt Family was of course Tom Riddle's, or Voldemort's, mother's side of the family. The stone inside of it is, of course, the 'Resurrection Stone', one of the three hallows given by 'Death' to the Peverell brothers (refer to 'the Tale of the Three Brothers'). When Voldemort returned to his parents' home town of Little Hangleton, he destroyed the Gaunt family house, found the ring, made a horcrux out of it, and hid it there, later to be found by Albus Dumbledore.

Godric Gryffindor until all of the founders put some "brains" in it to sort students after they died.

Wasn't Voldemort supposed to have a horcrux in his body?

No there was no horcrux in voldemorts body. The only horcruxes were the snake, the hufflepuff cup,tom riddles diary ,the ring,the locket,the diadem, and the fragment attached to harry. What was in voldemorts body was the last bit of his soul that he didnt turn into a horcrux. So after all the horcruxes were destroyed all that was left was his last piece of soul which harry destroyed (:
