This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hightower, Rhoden, Tant Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/jc.2ADI/505.2 Message Board Post: I am interested in the the Hightower/Rhoden/Tant relationships of Barnwell County, S.C. I have a copy of the Estate of Catherine Hightower, dated 1843, wife of William Hightower and mother of Henry Hightower, father of Thomas Hightower. It also shows items purchased by Henry Rhoden. James C. Tant married a Martha (Patsey)Rhoden...can't prove if she was the daughter of Henry Rhoden....The Hightower's, Rhodens and Tants were apparently neighbors and married into each others family...any information you may have would be appreciated....never heard about the Indian connection...interesting...Betty
