Good Morning, I wish to sincerely thank each of you fellow researchers who took the time to respond and to provide such outstanding information on the subjects of Nero and Lilburn Pilkenton. With your help, I think the mystery of Nero of Doty, WA is now solved. It does appear that he is indeed my Great Uncle. More importantly, that being true, it essentially ties all the people in SW VA with the Pilkenton name together. Lilburn's history is yet another challenge, but with the continued support of folks like you I think in time the answers will be uncovered. Thanks again. Happy Hunting!
