    3. It appears there are many of us very interested in the area which is now under water! I have a document signed by my great grandfather, George Wilkerson in 1891, which stated that he lived in Horse Shoe Bottom, Russell County, KY and an 1892 document signed by my great grandmother, Tiriece (Allen) Wilkerson stating that she resided in Clyde, (sic)Wain County. I have not been able to find a death record, nor a tombstone, nor an obituary for either. I could not located them in the 1900 Census in either county. Their granddaughter-in-law, Geneva Hudson Wilkerson (Mrs. Ewell Alford Wilkerson) told me in an interview in 1988 that she thought both were buried in the area which is now covered by water. Does anyone know if the funeral homes in the area would still have any kind of records of those buried in the area? I have searched relocation records but none have been found for either George or his wife Tiriece. I have a book, THE WILKERSON FAMILY, From England to Texas, almost completed but I still do not have a death date for either of them. I would appreciate any help. Marie Wilkerson Dyess
