A Close Descendent
Benjy’s father, Alva Stacy (above) also told the doctors the news. “My grandmother Luna on my dad’s side was a blue Fugate. It was real bad in her.” As it turns out, Benjy carried the gene of the blue Fugate. Benjy is a descendant from that line of the family. Benjy most likely had the gene from his grandmother, Luna, has his father did not suffer directly. Both of his parents must have had the recessive genes. “Luna was bluish all over. Her lips were as dark as a bruise. She was as blue a woman as I ever saw,” recounted a local nurse. Benjy grew out of the coloring, and by age 7, he was completely white skinned.
