Individual Details

William Hightower, Junr was stated to be deceased in a lawsuit in Autauga Co, AL, in July of 1837. His wife's name appeared to be Nancy, since a Nancy Hightower was the administratrix of his estate. If he was the same man who married Mary Higginbotham in Elbert Co GA, 1811, she must have died and he remarried. Most of the Hightower researches to place the marriage to Mary as being his. I've not found a database with any children named.
