Dr. Benjamin Higginbottom, Tuscaloosa, AL, 1818
The history of the First Baptist Church of Tuscaloosa, AL
was written in 1968, it indicated that the church was
organized at the home of Dr. BENJAMIN HIGGINBOTTOM in the
third week in January of 1818.Tuscaloosa was at the time
a pioneer village on the Black Warrior River in the Alabama
Territory.I must assume that this is the same Benjamin
Higginbottom who was born in VA, married to a Rebecca,
father of five or more known children, and who likely died
in Clark Co., AR.Do any of you have any other information
on Dr. Higginbottom that we might use in the history of
the church founded in his house.
