FOREWARD
When I started to work on this genealogical collection, more than ten years ago, there was no thought of making it into a book but only to trace the line of descent of my husband's great-grandfather, James Larkin Higginbotham, The data I collected was for my own satisfaction and pleasure. It wasn't long before others, learning of the material, urged that it be put into book form. This I have done and it is hoped that it will be read with interest and pride.
Collecting genealogical information is a most difficult task. Inquiries meet various fates. Some letters never reached the right address, some were ignored, others filed for attention later and then forgotten, some were not returned properly answered and then there were descendants that I was never able to locate.
On the subject of slighting someone, you will notice some relatives do not have as much data written about them as others and some have nothing. I have tried to secure infor- mation on all the descendants of James Larkin Higginbotham, but have failed to do so.
Every reasonable effort has been made to avoid errors. Some may have erred without intentionally doing so in sending data, or names and dates may have been misread, misspelled or mistyped. If errors occur, and I am sure they have, I ask indulgence and suggest that corrections be entered "to keep the record straight."
The interest I have taken in and the pleasure I have derived from the preparation of these records have more than repaid me for the effort I have devoted to it. This project has been one of the most enjoyable and satisfying experiences of my life.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I owe sincere gratitude to many individuals: relatives, friends, and public officials for their interest, encourage- ment, and assistance in making this record possible. I can- not list all of them individually, but 1 wish to express my appreciation to all who have helped me, and I am deeply grateful for even the smallest contribution that has been made .
I especially wish to name Mrs. C. C. Chambliss, "Maggie," to all those that knew and loved her. Without her help I would never have been able to collect as much data on James Larkin Higginbotham and his descendents as I have.
I also wish to name Mr. E. A. Limmer of Houston, Texas. It was his interest and help that made it possible for me to start on this manuscript. He also furnished the material on Benjamin Toliver Higginbotham and his descendants.
data
Catherine Foote Moyer also did the charting for the Magna Carta Sureties. Descendants of James Larkin Higginbotham may claim descent from the Emperor Charlemagne and the Magna Carta Sureties listed.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
The arrangement of this genealogy is in two sections. The first part of the book is on the early English and American family of Higginbotham. On the American family I have car- ried down the lineal descent from the Immigrant Ancestor, John Higginbotham of Virginia, to James Larkin Higginbotham of Noxubee County, Mississippi. Also will be found material on the brothers and sisters of James Larkin Higginbotham.
In the second section will be found a separate chapter on each of the children of James Larkin Higginbotham. Primarily this material is a compilation of facts: names, dates, and places. Most of these family records were collected through correspondence with the families involved.
Reference to source material used will be found following the statement made. All the reference books listed in this manuscript will be found either in the libraries of histori- cal and genealogical societies or in the libraries of all the large American cities.
Source material was consulted such as: federal census records, county and state records such as birth, death, marriage, wills and deeds, military and pension records, land grants, bounty land warrants, the Macon Beacon newspaper, tombstone inscriptions, and family Bibles.
The two numbers with a dash between, appearing in front of a name, stand for the generation from the Immigrant Ancestor and the children in order of their birth; i.e., 5-6 James Larkin Higginbotham, 5th generation from John Higginbotham, the Immigrant Ancestor, and the 6th child of Benjamin Graves Higginbotham. Each generation is indented further in from the left margin of the page.
Following is the key to the abbreviations used in the book.
b. born; ca. or circa about; Co. County; d. died; m. married; Ms. Mississippi; Viz. namely

THE MAGNA CARTA
On June 15, 1215, the barons of England, the yeomen of the countryside and the burghers of the cities formed an army to defy King John and his 60,000 mercenaries who had been ravaging the country.
Organized by Stephen Langton, a Roman Cardinal holding the high office of Archbishop of Canterbury, the army camped in a meadow called Runnymede, close to present day London. Here they met King John to demand of him that he sign a charter we know as the Magna Carta.
This world famous charter was the first major break- through in the age old battle for human rights.
Queen Elizabeth II has referred to it as "the corner- stone of our liberties."
John Adams, second president of the United States, cited the Magna Carta in justifying the revolt of the English Colonists against George III.
The rights and freedoms in the Charter were not fully realized for centuries but they laid the foundation that made possible two other Charters, the Petition of Rights in 1628 and the Declaration of Rights in 1688.
The original Magna Carta was altered several times to deal with fast changing conditions, but without loss of the rights and freedoms embodied in the King John version of 1215. The final document was signed in 1225 by Henry III and confirmed by Edward I in 1297.
Of the original 25 signers of the Magna Carta the des- cendants of James Larkin Higginbotham may claim the following:
1. William d'Albini, lord of Belvoir Castle.
2. Hugh Bigod, the Earl of Norfolk's heir.
3. Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk.
4. Gilbert de Clare, the Earl of Hertford's heir.
5. Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford.
6. John Fitzrobert, lord of Warkworth Castle.
7. John de Lacie, lord of Halton Castle.
8. Saire de Quincey, Earl of Winchester.
9. Robert de Roos , lord of Hamlake Castle.

THE FAMILY OF HIGGINBOTHAM
The Coat of Arms of the English family of Higginbotham is described in heraldic terms as follows:
ARMS CREST
MOTTO
"Argent, A rose gules, barbed vert, seeded or."
"A dexter and sinister arm discharging an arrow from a bow, all proper."
"Autvincere Aut Mori."
When translated, the Coat of Arms is described as follows:
ARMS A red rose with five green leaves between the petals. Seeds of gold in the center, all on a silver shield.
CREST A right hand and left arm discharging an arrow from a bow all in natural color.
MOTTO By aim and by effort.
(The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, by Edmund Burke. Fairbanks Book of Crests of the Families of Great Britain and Ireland. Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry, by Henry Cough and James Parker.)
The surname of Higginbotham is generally believed to be derived from the residence of its first bearers in the neighborhood of Marple and Macclesfield in East Cheshire, England. It is generally agreed that the name was first given to the bottom, or hollow depression in the land, where Higgin or Hickin resided. (A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames, by Charles W. Bradsley.)
Some historians, however, maintain that the name is of German origin and a corruption of the name Icken-baum, meaning an Oak tree. (English Magazine, Notes and Queries, 2nd Series, 1856, Volume 1, pages 269 and 417.)
In ancient English and early American records the name appears in the various spellings of Higenbotham, Hickenbotham, Hickin- bottom, Hickinbotham, Higginbottom, Higinbotham, Higginbotham,
10
and innumerable others. Of the ones mentioned, the last is the spelling most often used in America. (A Dictionary of British Surnames, by P. H. Reaney.)
In the American records of John Higginbotham, the progenitor, there appears a double "g" in the spelling of the name. The records of John Higinbotham in Barbados employ a single "g" in the spelling of Higinbotham. Actually there was no stan- dardized spelling in the 18th century. Proper names were subjected to variations in spelling.
In the sixteenth century the name Higginbotham, and variants of the name, was found in several counties of England, especially in Lancashire and Cheshire. Early records of the family include those of Ottywell Higginbotham about 1522; those of Nicholas Heginbotham of Marple, in Cheshire about 1579 and Alice Higginbotham of Marple in 1595. The parish registers of Stockport, Cheshire, England contains 88 refer- ences to Higginbothams between the years 1584 and 1620. (William and Mary Quarterly, first series. Volume 26, page 205.)
Among a list of freeholders of Cheshire in 1662 and owners of land in Marple is found the name of Andrew Hegginbotham. Then in 1672 the names of Ottiwell Heginbothome, Oliver Heginbotham and Robert Heginbotham are found. (Henry Hegin- botham, Stockport: Ancient and Modern, Volume 2, pages 301, 395.)
Members of the Cheshire branch of the Higginbotham family settled at an early date in Barbados, British West Indies. Among the probate acts of the Prerogative Court of Chancery in London, England was found a will of Otwell Higginbotham, dated 17 September 1649, Barbados, being bound in a voyage for England, in which he made beauests to "my father Oliver Higginbotham and Anne my mother, son William Higginbotham; daughter Anne Higginbotham; brothers William, John and Oliver Higginbotham; "to my cosen Captain John Higginbotham in the Barbados," and to cosens John, Joan, Martha, Alice, Sara, Priscilla and Mary, children of Captain John Higginbotham.
Nicholas Higginbotham of Cheshire, England and Captain John Higginbotham of Barbados, are named as executors of the will which was proved in England, 30 January 1651-52. (William and Mary Quarterly, Volume 26, pages 205, 206.)
11
Captain John Higginbotham, just named in the previous will, is the son of Anthony Higginbotham of Cheshire, England and the grandson of Nicholas Higginbotham, of Cheshire. (Maga- zine of History and Biography, Volume 52, page 290.)
Captain John Higginbotham is mentioned in "A List of names of the inhabitants of Barbados in the year 1638, who then possessed more than ten acres of land." (Memoirs of the First Settlement of Barbados, 1743.)
In a list of "Gentlemen of the country," (Barbados) about the year 1666, is found mentioned: "Lieutenant Colonel Higgen- bottom, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Bayley and Major William Bates, stout men and fitt for Command." (B.P.R.O. Colonial Papers, Volume 20.)
Captain John Higginbotham, Lieutenant Colonel in his will, lived in the Parish of Saint Philip, Island of Barbados, British West Indies. He was a wealthy and influential planter. His will was dated 13 October 1673 and entered for probate in the Barbados, 27 November 1673. (Barbados Wills, Parish of Saint Philip, Volume 9, page 23. The Higginbotham Family, by William M. Sweeny, pages 3 to 8.)

18
heretofore given him to order to draw Bills. And I will that such his Bills as may or shall come after my death be duly paid by mine Executors same not regarding Twenty Pounds Sterling in said year afore- said but if Son Charles Higinbotham shall desire and choose to have and retain Two Hundred Pounds in one entire payment rather than these yearly payments sums of Twenty Pounds after my decease and accept of Two Hundred Pounds in lieu or instead thereof then for his satisfaction through and also for easing mine Executors from the trouble of returning the yearly payments I give and bequeath unto him my sd. son Charles Higinbotham the sum of Two Hundred Pounds. And I will order that mine Executors some short time after my death notify and advise sd. Son Charles Higin- botham that he may draw Bills of Exchange upon them being accepted and paid shall fully absolve thereof discharge to mine Executors of and from this said annuity or yearly payment (which I intend only to continue until my son accept the said Two Hundred Pounds) and also for said Two Hundred Pounds.

[1713] (9. B.)
John Higinbotham (Seal--Tudor Rose)
Sealed and signed by the within named John Higin- botham Testator for and as his last Will being written on three sheets of paper (4th September 1713) . Witnessed by John Chapman and Hugh Parr.
Charles Higinbotham, the son of Captain John Higinbotham, of Barbados and Salfor, Lancaster, England, was named in his father's will, which you just read.
This Charles Higinbotham lived in Barbados and his will, dated 17 August 1732, proved in Barbados 20 May 1734; names wife Ann, sons Cleaver Higinbotham and John Higinbotham; granddaughters Ann Reddin, Hopizbah Higinbotham and Ann Higinbotham. (Barbados Wills, Volume 24, page 92. Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 52, page 290.)
Mrs. Ann Higinbotham, the widow of Charles Higinbotham, in her will, dated 29 March 1740, proved in the Barbados, 28 August 1740, names her sons John, Charles, Thomas, Joseph and Clever Higinbotham; grandson John Reddin; granddaughter Ann Reddin. (Barbados Wills, Volume 32, page 285. Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 52, page 290.)
22
John Higginbotham, son of Charles and Ann Higginbotham, of the Barbados, whose wills have just been referred to, was also named as a legatee in the will of his grandfather. Captain John Higginbotham.
There is found in the Boston Massachusetts Registry Depart- ment, Report 29, page 238, this record:
"Vessels Entered in the month of July 1716 July 11 Benjamin Evans ye sloop Betty from Barbados
John Higinbotham a Planter."
Thus it is that we find John Higinbotham, evidently at the time he received the legacy directed by the will of his grandfather, leaving the Barbados and arriving in Boston. It is believed he stayed some years in Maryland and then went to Virginia where he died between the years 1741 and 1744, leaving a widow Frances and six sons and a daughter. (Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 52, page 291.)
The identification of John Higginbotham, of Virginia, who died between 1741 and 1744, with John Higginbotham, the son of Charles and Ann Higginbotham, of the Barbados, and grand- son of Captain John Higginbotham, of the Barbados and Sal- ford, Lancaster, England is strengthened by the following fact.
In an old trunk of papers belonging to Colonel James Higgin- botham, of Amherst County, Virginia, son of John and Frances (Riley) Higginbotham, was found a book entitled "Action Upon the Case for Slander," by W. Sheppard Esquire, London 1662. On the fly leaf of this book appears part of the signature of a Nicholas Higginbotham. This has been identified as seventeenth century handwriting. On another page of this same book appears the entry "Joseph Higginbotham died April 17th 1742." This Joseph Higginbotham seems most probably to have been Joseph, son of Charles Higginbotham, of Barbados, and younger brother of John Higginbotham of the Barbados, Boston, Massachusetts, and at last of Virginia. (Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 52, page 291.)
In the office of the Land Register at Richmond, Virginia, are recorded patents to Higginbothams for about 20,000 acres of land in Albemarle and Amherst Counties between the years 1749 and 1800.
We find from the records of Albemarle County that Moses Higginbotham, who was apparently the eldest son of John Higginbotham, under dates of April 23 and 24, 1745, pur- chased from George Braxton, Jr. of King and Queen County, two parcels of land consisting of 1,000 and 1,430 acres respectively. This land was located on the Buffalo River.
23
Then between April 30 and May 11, 1751, Moses conveyed 2,024 acres of this property to his brothers and to William Morrison, who had married his sister, Rachel Higginbotham.
All parties to the transaction, except George Braxton, Jr. , were of Albemarle County. The consideration named was the nominal sum of five shillings, "current money of Virginia," for each parcel of land, as follows:
To Aaron Higginbotham
To Benjamin Higginbotham
To John Higginbotham
To Joseph Higginbotham
To James Higginbotham
To William Morrison
204 acres
204 acres
200 and 204 acres
200 and 204 acres
200 and 204 acres
200 and 204 acres
It is believed that this was a division of the estate left by John Higginbotham, deceased, to be divided between his children after the death of their mother.
According to the census returns and tax lists the following heads of families of the name were living in Amherst County. Virginia towards the close of the eighteenth century:

" These Higginbothams migrated to Elbert County, Georgia.
(William and Mary Quarterly, Volume 26, 1917-1918, pages
208-210.)
The members of the Higginbotham family occupied a prominent position and took an active part in political and religious matters--serving on juries, acting as surveyors and filling those places that intelligent and respected citizens usually are called upon to fill in the place where they have made their home.
24
They were very patriotic and loyal as shown by the numbers who have fought in the wars.
They were hardy pioneers who faced and overcame the dangers and hardships inherent to carving out new frontiers. In the great migrations which surged westward after the Revolutionary War, they were in the vanguard.

JOHN HIGGINBOTHAM, IMMIGRANT ANCESTOR
John^ Higginbotham (Charles, Captain John, Lieutenant Colonel John, Anthony, Nicholas) was the Immigrant Ancestor and the son of Charles and Ann Higginbotham. He was born 10 June 1695 in the Parish of Saint Philip, Barbados, British West Indies and baptised 31 July 1695 at the Saint Philip Parish Church. (Volume 22, page 62, Saint Philip Parish records.) It is generally believed that he died in Virginia between the years 1741 and 1744.
The marriage date of John Higginbotham to Frances Riley is not known. He could have married while visiting relations in Maryland and lived there for a while before moving to Vir- ginia. There was a John Ryley living in Brittaines Bay, Saint Mary's County, Maryland, whose will was dated 3 April 1707 and recorded 23 April 1709. In the will he gives, "To son, executive, dwelling plantation Green Hill at head of Brittaines Bay; he dying without issue to pass to five daugh- ters; Frances and Winifred share of estate equal to those already given daughters Mary Bright, Elizabeth Peake and Margaret Tomson." (Maryland Calendar of Wills.)
John and Frances Higginbotham settled in Virginia in the early seventeen hundreds. They settled first in Goochland County in the section that became Albemarle County in 1744 and later became Amherst County in 1761, They made their home in the southwest part at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains on the Buffalo River. (Higginbotham Family, by William M. Sweeny and Land Deeds.)
Frances Higginbotham, the widow of John Higginbotham, sur- vived her husband many years. It is believed she died about 1751 in Albemarle County, Virginia. Extracts from the Diary of Reverend Robert Rose, Rector of Saint Ann's Parish, Albe- marle County, Virginia, between the years 1747-1751, gives valuable information on the life of Mrs. Higginbotham and her family:

Reverend Robert Rose died in Richmond, Virginia, 30 June 1751. His Diary is found in the Brock Collection, Huntington Library, San Marino, California. A photostat copy is in the Archives Department of the State Library, Richmond, Virginia.
All the sons of John Higginbotham either served, furnished supplies or helped in other ways during the Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary War had left many Virginians penniless and restless of spirit. How to improve their condition was a grave question. In this crisis, Georgia held out the best choice of land. This land could be obtained without any cost except the expense of surveying. A large number of emigrants, chiefly from Virginia, North and South Carolina, availed themselves of this opportunity to get themselves valuable homes. Several of the Higginbotham families, along with neighbors, made this move from Amherst County, Virginia, to Wilkes County, Georgia, around the year 1784.

P. Bell Company, Lynchburg, Virginia, 1971.
BENJAMIN HIGGINBOTHAM
Benjamin^ Higginbotham (Johnl) was the son of John and Frances (Riley) Higginbotham. The date of his birth is not known but it is believed to be between 1725 and 1730. He died in the summer of 1791, Elbert County, Georgia and left a will dated 9 February 1790. This will was probated 25 July 1791. (Elbert County, Georgia Will Book A, 1791-1803, pages 8, 9, 10)
Benjamin Higginbotham was married on 21 February 1750, in Albemarle County, Virginia, to Elizabeth Graves. She was the daughter of Francis, Jr. and Ann Graves, granddaughter of Francis Graves and great-granddaughter of Thomas Graves, the Immigrant Ancestor. (Marriage date: Diary of Reverend Robert Rose, page 101. Diary in Brock Collection, Henry E. Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Photostat copy in the Archives Department, State Library, Richmond, Virginia. )
Elizabeth (Graves) Higginbotham was born about 1733 in Vir- ginia and died after 1790, probably in Georgia.
Between the years 1749 and 1784, Benjamin Higginbotham received over 1,000 acres, in Virginia Land Grants. (Land Register Office, Richmond', Virginia.)

"If we work upon marble, it will perish^
If we work upon brass, time will efface it.
If we rear temples, they will crumble into dust.
But if we work upon immortal souls.
If we imbue them with principles.
With the just fear of the Creator
and love of fellow men. We engrave on those tablets something
which will enlighten all eternity."
Daniel Webster
BENJAMIN GRAVES HIGGINBOTHAM
BENJAMIN GRAVES^ HIGGINBOTHAM (Benjamin^, Benjamin^, John^) was the son of Benjamin and Mary (Gatewood) Higginbotham. He was born on 17 February 1788 in Wilkes County, Georgia. He died on 23 April 1862 in Noxubee County, Mississippi and is buried in the Lloyd Cemetery [now known as Butler Cemetery]. (Birth date, Graves Bible record. Death date, wife's Pension application. Burial place, letter dated 29 July 1944 from P. G. Whitehead to Mr. E. A. Limmer of Houston, Texas. The Bible record was in possession of P. G. Whitehead in 1944. Photo copy of Bible record and letter in my file.)
Benjamin Graves Higginbotham was married on 2 January 1812, in Elbert County, Georgia, to Mary Foster Lawless, daughter of John and Tabitha (Rowzee) Lawless and granddaughter of Thomas Lawless. (Marriage date, Elbert County, Georgia Will Book and Mixed records, 1809-1812, page 325 and Bible record.)
MARY FOSTER (LAWLESS) HIGGINBOTHAM was born on 24 November 1795, in Elbert County, Georgia. She died between the years 1875 and 1877 either in Kemper, Winston or Noxubee Counties, Mississippi. She is buried in the Lloyd Cemetery. She was listed on the 1870 census for Kemper County, Mississippi but not found in the 1880 census for Kemper, Neshoba, Winston or Noxubee Counties. (Birth date and burial place same refer- ence as above.)
The following items pertaining to Benjamin Graves Higgin- botham are found in the Elbert County, Georgia Records and in the states of Alabama and Mississippi.

Recorded the 14th day of January 1811.
(Will Book 1809-1812, page 122.)
1812.
John S. Higginbotham, guardian for Larkin Higginbotham. Returns for 1812 shows note on Benjamin Graves Higginbotham and Francis Satterwhite. Benjamin G. Higginbotham, Security. (Administrators and Guardians Bonds, Elbert County, Georgia Will Book "K", 1812-1816, page 39.)
S Benjamin Graves Higginbotham' s name is on a list of soldiers ^ for Georgia Militia for the War of 1812. (Historical Col- ^(75 lections of Georgia Chapters National Society Daughters of tZ ^ h- the American Revolution, Volume 3, page 149.)
Q_ ^ < Benjamin Graves Higginbotham was a First Lieutenant in the Uu ^ Company Commanded by Captain Charles Carter in the Regiment Q CO < of Volunteers of Georgia Militia commanded by General Floyd _j yj 9 iri the War of 1812. He volunteered at the Elbert County <C LL ^ Courthouse on the 1st day of August 1813 for the term of six S:^ O ty months and continued in actual service in the war for the Ci3 I r- term of three months and was then honorably discharged at O ^ — i Camp Hope on the 1st day of November 1813. He was employed ^ 3 LL chiefly in the building of forts. (His petition for bounty ^g^ land and wife's Widow pension application number 11529, both :^ found in the National Archives, Washington, D.C.)
C3 1815.
Benjamin Graves Higginbotham was listed on an 1815 tax list of Elbert County, Georgia. He was in Captain Christian's District. (Georgia State Archives.)
1820.
He is not found in the Georgia Census for 1820, but could have been in one of the counties whose records are lost.
1822-1833.
The last child born in Georgia was in 1822. The next

52
three children were born in Alabama in 1825, 1828 and 1833. We know he was living in Green County, Alabama, in 1828 when his son, James Larkin was born. (Bible record of Benjamin Graves Higginbotham and Bible record of his grandson, George Washing ton Higg inbo tham . )
Benjamin Graves Higginbotham was living in Dallas County, Alabama, in the year 1830 where he is found listed on the census for that County.
1835.
About the year 1835, Benjamin Graves Higginbotham and his family moved from Alabama to Mississippi where they set- tled in the hill country in the south west part of Noxubee County. This was only a few years after the county had been formed from the Choctaw Purchase. I quote from the unpub- lished History of Noxubee County, Mississippi, by John Ander- son Tyson and published in the Macon Beacon in 1926-1927.
"Mr. Halbert states that Mr. :, . L. Higginbotham, who had lived near the treaty ground since 1835, has repeatedly pointed out to him the place described as the spot where the treaty of Dancing Rabbit was made and signed, the information of Mr. Higginbotham resting upon the statements of two pio- neer settlers of Noxubee County, both of whom were present during the negotiations at Dancing Rabbit and were eye wit- nesses to the signing of the treaty. Viz; Mr. Hilcar Burwell, who was one of the first settlers of Mashulaville , and Mr. G. W. Campbell, who died at his residence near Shuqualak in 1888. Mr. Higginbotham stated that these two men had fre- quently pointed the place out to him. Mr. Higginbotham made the additional statement that his brother-in-law, Lorenzo Thomas, in 1849, built a split log cabin with a chimney to the south on the very spot where the treaty was made. This cabin has long since disappeared, but, if by close search, some traces of the old chimney site could be discovered, it will give almost the exact spot of signing the treaty." (Chapter on Indians, page 26. History found in the Noxubee County Court House and Library, Macon, Mississippi and in the Mississippi State Archives, Jackson, Mississippi.)
1838.
Benjamin Graves Higginbotham made his home in the Fleet- wood Mountains, where there was an abundance of springs, game and timber supply. It was here his last child was born in 1838.
1840.
He is listed on the 1840 United States Census for Noxu- bee County, Mississippi.
1850.
On the 1850 census for Noxubee County he gives his occu- pation as a Planter. His wife, Polly; son John Lawless; daughter, Mary Gatewood Higginbotham; and their youngest
53
child, Tabitha, was also listed.
1860.
On the 1860 Noxubee County census he is listed as Graves Higginbotham and his occupation as a farmer. Listed in his household was his wife, Polly; daughter, Tabitha; and married daughter, Mary Green, and her son, James. Summerville is given as his place of residence.
The records of the former General Land Office, now in the National Archives in Washington, D.C., shows that Benjamin Graves Higginbotham on 16 May 1851, applied for a Bounty Land Warrant for 80 acres to which he was entitled to under the Act passed 28 September 1850, granting bounty land to certain officers and soldiers who had been engaged in military ser- vice of the United States. I am typing the following two letters as they are handwritten and very hard to read. The signatures on these two letters are taken from the original copies. The rest of the letters and documents will be in their original form.
State of Mississippi County of Noxubee
On the 16th day of May A.M. One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty One, personaly appreared before me, a Justice of the Peace within and for the County and State affore said, Benjamin G. Higginbotham age sixty three years a resident of Noxubee County in the State of Mississippi, who being duly sworn according to law declares that he is the identical Benjamin G. Higginbotham who was a Lieutenant in the Company commanded by Captain Charles Carter in the Reginment Number (not recollected) of Georgia Militia Commanded by General Floyd in the War with Great Britain declared by the United States on the 18th day of June 1812 that he volunteered at Elbert Court House on the 1st day of August A.D. 1813 for the term of six months and continued in actual service in the war for the term of three months and was honorably discharged at Camp Hope on the 1st day of Nov- ember A.D. 1813 as will appear by the Muster Rolls of said Company, the original having been lost or mislaid, he makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the Bounty Land to which he may be entitled to under the Act granting Bounty Land to certain officers and soldiers who have been engaged in the military service of the United States, passed September 28th, A.D. 1850.
Sworn to and subscribed before me the day and year above written and I hereby certify that I believe him to be the
54
identical man who served as afforesaid and that he is of the age above stated.

Benjamin Graves received his Bounty Land Warrant, number 31,924 for 80 acres in March of 1852 then he legally disposed of it.
On the 26th day of July 1855 he sent the following letter asking for additional bounty land he was now entitled under the new Act of 3 March 1855.
State of Mississippi Noxubee County
On this 26th day of July, A.D. 1855, before me a Justice of the Peace in and for the county and state afforesaid personally appeared B. G. Higginbotham aged 67 years who being duly sworn according to law declares that he is the identical person who was a Lieutenant in the com- pany commanded by Captain Carter in the Regiment of Volun- teers commanded by General Floyd that he voluntered in Elbert County, in the State of Georgia on or about the time (not recollected) he further states that he had received for said service Bounty Land Warrant No. 31,924 of Eighty Acres issued under the Act of 1850 by reason of said service which he has since legally disposed of and cannot now return, he makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the addi- tional bounty land to which he is entitled under the Act of March the 3rd., 1855, never having received bounty land except as above stated.
We, Solomon Edwards and George Bateman, residents of Noxubee County in the State of Mississippi, upon our oath declare that the foregoing declaration was signed and acknowledged by B. G. Higginbotham in our presence and that we believe from the appearance and statements of the appli- cant that he is the identical person he represents himself to be.
The foregoing declaration and affidavit were sworn to and subscribed before me the day and year above written and I certify that I know the applicant to be credible persons
55
that the claimant is the person he represents himself to be and that I have no interest in this claim.
^r^-^J^^Tt^^/ y^^A/.

Before March of 1857, Graves Higginbotham received notice that his claim for bounty land, warrant No. 46,765 for 80 acres, had been suspended because there had been two appli- cations by two Benjamin G. Higginbo thams , both in Captain Carter s Company of Georgia Militia, War of 1812.
On 20 March 1857, Benjamin Graves Higginbotham had J. C. Holmes make and send an affidavit to the Land Office stating that the notice of suspension of the claim had been sent to Macon, a distance of 18 to 20 miles from where he lived and consequently did not get it until recently.
Mr. J. C. Holmes then states that he had corresponded with the attorney of the other Higginbotham, who lived near Oxford, Lafayette County, Mississippi, and was informed that he had obtained the bounty for him by his merely making out an affidavit to the effect, that there were two Higgin- bothams in Captain Carter's Company.
This evidently wasn't enough proof as there were a number of letters sent to and received from the Land Office through the years 1857 and 1858.
Benjamin Graves Higginbotham had not received his warrant by May 1st 1858 when he appeared before a Justice of the Peace in Winston County, Mississippi making a declaration to this effect and appointed Tucker Lloyd of Washington, D.C., his attorney to prosecute his claim and procure his warrant. At this time, Graves Higginbotham was 70 years of age.
Declaralioa to he made by a surviving OJJiccr of Soldier claiming additional Bounty Land.

Benjamin Graves Higginbotham finally received his bounty land warrant, number 46,765, and then assigned the warrant "for value received" to a William Cook.
Benjamin Graves Higginbotham died in Noxubee County, Missis- sippi on 23 April 1862. He was buried in the Lloyd Grave- yard, now known as the Butler Cemetery.
Polly Higginbotham was listed in the 1870 census for Kemper County, Mississippi. Her occupation was given as keeping house and her Post Office as Kelly's Store. Living in the same household was her daughter, Tabitha Higginbotham, age 32, Ann Higginbotham, age 15, and Sophia Seal, age 4.
Polly Higginbotham applied for a Widow's Pension, under the Act of 14 February 1871, in the Justices Court, District Num- ber 4, Noxubee County, Mississippi, on 7 April 1875, At this time she was 79 years of age. She gave her address as Hashuqua, Mississippi.
This pension claim, number 11529, was filed in Washington, D.C. on 15 July 1875, by her attorney, Horatio King.
On 1 August 1877, her pension claim was rejected by reason of abandonment. This was most likely because of her death.
