Mother: Penny Clara or Clara Penny Lynn (FSID MJ76-J2L)

image 640, Bessie (Wid TB) retd h2431 Sunset Av
(Note "Widowed TB" = Tapley Burton, "h" means homeowner)
same address on 3 documents confirms md. to Tapley
Tapley's and Bessie's headstones at Restland, while seperate, are nearly identical in design.
1950 Census, Dallas
Bessie & "JB", Real Estate dealer
While this might be Tapley's brother Jennings Bryan Golightly, I think it's more likely the "J" is actually a "T". Jennings md. Robbie Chapman and lived and died in San Antonio
Grateful you add this to biography. I would not connect her to Tapley until marriage record is found. -sksmith
