"Beth" Grigg Tilley, Richmond VA in 1940's, 1950's?

I am trying to find the connection between Beth Grigg Tilley and my uncle, Henry B. Tilley, of Richmond.

I inherited a little slip of paper with this information:
"Beth Grigg Tilley
Judith Archer Grigg, born Feb. 6, 1940"

Henry Bernard Tilley was known as "Brother" all of his life, to both family and friends. He was born Feb 6, 1912 in Columbia SC and died Aug 31, 1956 in Richmond. He was married several times but I don't believe he had any children of his own. He is listed in the 1940 Richmond city directory with wife, Flora E., but his WWII draft card says that he is "separated" with no dependants.

He was estranged from his family so I have no idea of who his wives were. In 1940 he was working as a "coffee grinder" for the Richmaid Mfg. Co, of which his father was the president. At the time of his death he was a cab driver.

Many thanks
