Bettie had brothers Uriah Travis (b. 1854) and Chaney Bobo (b. 1859). Their maternal grandparents were Travis and Elizabeth Roebuck (Bobo) Bowden. In 1870 Bettie lived in Coffee County with her great-aunt Sarah (Bowden) Barton. Bettie's husband was from Bedford County, Tenn., where they farmed for some years before moving to Chattanooga. Their son Walter died before her, leaving children Buell and Beryl. Buell died childless. Beryl m. Ray Songer and had at least one son, Wayne. (Marvin Anthony may also have died childless.) Beryl d.1979. I'm very interested in corresponding with any Anthony, Songer or Walden relatives or others who may know more about her family. Her father is my Walden family's brick wall.
