I have been stuck on H.G. Higdon for sometime. He was born Dec. 31,1829 in Kentucky and died Jan. 6, 1887 in Owesnboro Kentucky. He was married to Amanda Massey. They had 3 children that I know of : Mattie, John Trammel, and David Allen. I did find a H.G.Higdon - 21yrs. in the 1850 Kentucky census living with his mother Artemesia Higdon who was 50 years old at the time. The census listed the other children as Artemesia - 25, James - 18 and Joseph -15yrs. There was also a will abstract in Daviess County that was dated 1846 for a Thomas Higdon who died. He wife's name was Artemisia unfortunately the children were not named. Therefore I am not sure if this is the same Thomas and Artemsia that would be the parents of H.G. Higdon. If any one has information on this family please let me know. Camille camilleh@home.com
