Surnames: Higginbotham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HKB.2ACI/1651.1 Message Board Post: I have checked the 1870 Marshall Co., MS census index and I do not find any Higginbothams listed. You might try the Benton Co., MS census for 1870. In July 1870, a small portion on the east side of Marshall Co. was combined with a portion of Tippah Co., MS to form Benton Co. Since Potts Camp is located close to the Benton Co., MS line, that could be a possibility. If not, the census taker probably missed the family.
