I'd like to know what family Beckie Bumstead belongs to.

She is found on a Texas death certificate -- and all Bumsteads in Texas I know of are cousins of mine, descendants of Mourad Whitfield Bumstead of New Jersey.

Here is what I have discovered:

death certificate:
Beckie Bumstead, white, female, married.
bir. Jul 28, 1902, LA
lived South Dayton, Liberty cty, TX
dea. Sep 20 1963, Dayton, Liberty cty
burial same day in Old Hardin Cemetery, Kountze, Hardin cty, TX

parents -- Elijah Maflin and Jula (?) Haley

informant: "Robert Fowler; son"

she died of an automobile accident -- "multiple fractured ribs with hemothorax; multiple fractures both femurs; probably internal injuries" (?? you think ??)

the accident occurred at 3:00 p.m. on "Old Wallisville Rd." in Liberty. She lived for six hours before she died in the Dayton hospital.

I'd like to know who she was married to. I find no records for them and I can't find her parents and family in the census -- no Elijah Maflin in the census -- and no one that fits even using Soundex. I only find two Maflins in SSDI and both are in NY. I assumed she was first married to a FOWLER since her son was Robert FOWLER, of Dayton. I assume her son was born no earlier than about 1920 since she was born 1902. I can find no Raymond FOWLER on the census born within that time frame with a mother named Becky or Rebecca.

I made a mistake -- the informant was Raymond Fowler, not Robert.
