I am interested in your Whatley line. My GGreandmother's Elizabeth Bowles, Young, Hittson has a sister Julia Bowles who married Martin Franklin Whatley in Waller Co. in 1875 Eilizabeth had just moved to Palo Pinto Co., when her first husband Edward William Young died in 1882. I am also trying to find his buriel. He was working for the Railroad in Palo Pinto as a Telegrapher. Probably died of Cholorea or Typhoid. He was 31 She did not marry again until 1890 when she married William Httson. I am wondering if your Whatley line is somehow related to my Whatley line. The one known child I have of Julia and Martin is Benjamin Bowles Whatley, born in 1876, named after Julia's father. There may have been others. I know nothing about Elizabeth (Bettie Jane's) life in Palo Pinto except she lived in Mineral Wells. I have photographs of her and her six children taking by "Clogersons" in Mineral Wells about 1882/83 from the ages of the children. I hope we connect. Susan Young Medford OR
