Lee, I've think I've read similar accounts about the Milam *hermit*...wasn't there a Milam's Funeral Home in Logan Cnty? maybe Man? my mother was born on Buffalo Creek in Logan Cnty and never knew until several years ago that she was connected to the Wyoming Cnty John Cooke...or that she was related to probably half that part of the state <G>. You mention John being a constable, where? Shenandoah or Wyoming?
