Higginbotham Research
The messages boards are soon to be closed and will remain as read only messages. I have done a great deal of research on the Higginbothams, as they were my husband's ancestors.There is a lot of misinformation about the children of "the widow" Higginbotham to be found in print and on the web.More recent research has shown that John and Frances (Riley) Higginbotham do not seem to have been the parents and may not have existed at all in Virginia.The John Higginbotham in Barbados had children baptized there which do not match those found in Virginia and he never left Barbados.Any researcher/descendant of this family should study both sides of this conflict and make their own informed decision.
My research can be found here.

I have a gmail address which hopefully will remain functional for sometime to come.Please substitute the word "at" for the symbol @. I am always willing to discuss the details found on my webpage.
