Capt Robert Higgins,of the South Branch of the Potomac, Hampshire Co,Va [WV] and husband of Wright and Jolliff wives of Frederick Co,Va was namesake of Higginsport. Likely closely related to Lt Peter Higgins,seen early around Harrodsburg, Ky. It was written that Capt Robert Higgins was the "only" Va resident to settle on his own Va Military Land Bounty survey. Capt Robert Higgins was captured [Sept 1777?] when the British marched on Philadelphia [?] and held prisoner in se Pa. His slave cared for his children and farm after his 1st wife died. He was,in WV,a drover of cattle east to Baltimore. Likely that's wrong,but there were not many. . I'm thinking Elder John Phillips ministered at Higginsport Christian,and at Pisgah Ridge Christian,and at Shinkle's Ridge Christian,and ,we are learning,a bit at Mt Pleasant Christian. He had to be a friend of Mathew Gardner, Powell, Knowles.I don't know what Phillips family he was from-just that he married in 1839 my wife's James Kirkpatrick to Mahala Sellers,and 1849 Sanders to Robinson s of Felicity.
