My father has given me pictures of the following grave stones taken from the family farm in Greenville WV. The farm has been vacant for many, many years but someone is still tending to the site. Wondering if anyone can link us up to the larger family of Shanklins?
My Grandmother lived on the farm with her family. Her father is Palmer Shanklin - his father is JMH Shanklin (maybe went by Madison) This is where our facts end.
Each entry below is the text I can make out on each stone.
