Please contact me.I am related to Judd Staten Gilkerson; he was my grandfather.He married Minnie Mae Wood, a union that produced my mother, Ruth Marie Gilkerson, born in Fayette Co in 1932, in a mining town.I remember her saying her dad was once a preacher and that he died in Buffalo, NY in the 50's by drinking wood alcohol.I believe he is buried in Rainelle, WV, in a pauper's grave.
