This would be your John & Nancy Moses. Also, in 1810 Morganton, Burke Co., NC there is another John Higdon listed: 1 free white male under 10; 1 free white male 10-15; 1 free white male 16-25; 1 free white male 45 & OVER; 3 free white females 10-15; 1 free white female 26-44; 1 free white female 45 & OVER. This could be John's father & family. Also on the 1800 Census there is a John B. Higdon in Salisbury, Rowan Co., NC 1790 Jno. Higdon in Rutherford Co., NC. Burke & Rutherford touch each other. Burke was formed in 1777 from Rowan; Rutherford was formed in 1779 from part of Burke & Tyron & Rowan was formed in 1753 from Anson. Also I have a John Higdon marrying Martha Roper in June 1789 in Rutherford Co., NC. I hope this may be of some help on your Higdon line.
