I read earlier, the note about the Higginbotham in Hardin County and thought I would share my latest research project. I found in a book on "The Genealogies of Barbados Families" a John Redin as a heir in the will of Charles Higginbotham of Barbados. John Redin's mother was Millicent Higginbotham, the daughter of Charles Higginbotham. In the middle 16th century some of Charles Higginbotham's children moved to Amherst County, Virginia. Then to Georgia and one family of Thomas Higginbotham moved later to Tennessee. My g.g.g.g. grandfather John Reddin who married Sidney Sevier the parents of Samuel Reddin the patriarch of the Bingham Family and Isaac Reddin the patriarch of the Reddin Families of Hardin County, could be that same John Redin son of Millicent Higginbotham. I am currently trying to find proof of these connections. Higginbotham Genealogy is recorded back to Nicholas Higginbotham ca. 1550 in Moorepoole, Cheshire, England. I'm just one or two doucments away. Henry Hanson College Station, Tx.
