I was born in Hinton, WV 1/31/45.

Paternal grand-parents Hugh Gordon Chapman "Bud" Hughes (b. 11/29/1878 unknown birthplace, d. 1/28/1955 C&O Hospital Clifton Forge buried in Hinton) Elizabeth Belle Neely (b. 5/6/1886 Hinton, d. 9/5/1964 Hinton).

Maternal grandparents: Charles Wesley Shankland (b. ?? Marietta OH, d. 1958 C&O hospital Clifton Forge buried Ronceverte, WV) Lena Estelle Woodrum (b. ?? maybe Belle Point, d. 1969 Lebanon OH)

I have a fairly extensive tree for my paternal grandmother which includes Hogan, Neely, Lilly, Meador, Meadow(s), etc. I remember visiting the Lilly family just down from the funeral home toward the bridge. The names were Clara and her daughter, Geraldine, who was a good friend of my mother.

I have very little information about my paternal grandfather. I don't even know where he was born, but I don't think it was the Hinton area.
