Individual Details

Benjamin is seen as a son of William & Dolly (Sandidge) Higginbotham. He is more likely a son of William's cousin, William Higginbotham, son of Joseph, who was married to Ann Sandidge - that would make him a nephew of William & Dolly. His wife was Rebecca. He died after 1860 in Clark Co, Arkansas.

Note: William, Elijah & Mary all born in AL. Mary could have been the 15-20 year old female in 1840. William & Elijah, the two males age 5-10. Obviously the little girls, Mary, Frances, & Lucinda are granddaughters - they are not listed with a separate surname but still could have been Mary's daughters.

Calvin could be the B. C. Higginbotham in 1840. He would have been age 37, with one son under age 5 - John.

This would be William, age 20 in 1850, with his family. His brother Elijah who was then 17, is living with him.
