I am continuing to search for other living descendants of my great-great grandfather, John D. Heighway, who arrived in Kosciusko Co. in the mid 1840s, living there until his death in 1889. Descendants include BAKERS (my line) , LEININGERS, and perhaps JOHNSONS (through marriage of Mary Jane Heighway born ca. 1836 to John F. Johnson in 1856--no info. on children). There is one slim possibility that the Heighway name was carried on in Kosciusko Co. or its environs by John D. Heighway's son Benjamin Franklin Heighway, b. 1849-1851, d. 1921 (?). Benjamin had one daughter and one son, names unknown. In 1939 his nephew Colfax Heighway wrote "So you can see that it depends on him to perpetuate the name in our family." I have been unable to locate marriage information on Benjamin. It is possible that he is the Benjamin buried in Mentone cemetery, but there are several other men with the same name in the family, and this grave has also been attributed to others. I would love to hear from someone who has knowledge of any of the descendant families mentioned above! I would be ecstatic to discover information on descendants of Benjamin Franklin Heighway! Thanks for any insights, and have a wonderful Easter! Pam Green Falls Church, VA [email protected]
