It's June (see pages 1 & 6).

17: 1916 – Hamilton H. “Terry” Gilkyson (Phoenixville, Pennsylvania) [Died October 15, 1999]
Perhaps you can find a birth date for daughter Eliza, John. "Around 1950" (somewhat older than I'd thought) is all Wikipedia gives.

Yes I can, after a little searching, - 24th August, 1950 (from the Austin Chronicle's "Austin Music Database") - I've noted to add her to the August list when it comes around again

Thanks for the addition of Terry.
