Alabama Higgins Inquiry
28 Oct 2001
My grandmother was Laura Mae Higgins born approx 1900,
location of birth unknown except I think it was
Alabama. Parents names unknown. Lived at
Clarence, (Blount County) Alabama north of Birmingham.
Laura and my grandfather, John Wesley Alexander
Herrington, were divorced about 1921. Laura had
visiting rights but on one visitation, she kidnapped
my mother.
She was forbidden visitation after that and she left
Alabama, to my knowledge, and never returned. Laura
remarried and had at least two children. I do not know
her married name but I think it was Smith (not much
help, huh?). Laura sent a picture of herself and the
two children and valentines. My mother grieved over
Laura her whole life, I never knew why they did not
contact each other later in life but I think Laura
died an early death as did my mother. I would like to
contact her half-siblings.
Thank you for your time.

Henry Higgins
born in SC 9/17/1825 - moved to Georgia
at some point and married Margaret Mahalia Shell born 1/7/1826.
He was my great-great-grandfather. I found him & his wife in 1850 Georgia census when he
was 25 years old with their first 3 children. I don't know his father or mother's
names or his wife's father or mother.
I am at a brick wall. 1840 census he would have been 15 years old.

O'Higgins, Higgins, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Kansas, New York
I'm up against a brick wall....
Hi! I am looking for anyone who may have connections to my
grandmother, Inez Jane Higgins who was born in Indiana in
Illinois on Dec. 3, 1875. Her father was Samuel Gates Higgins
from Kentucky, and her grandfather was Eastis Higgins. I was
told their last name was O'Higgins, but the "O" was
dropped at some time.
My grandmother first married a man with the last name of Higgins and
together they had two sons....Everett and Harry.
Everett moved to New York and Harry settled in Kansas City where he
operated a grocery store, married a lady named "Lena"
and had a son, Harry Higgins, Jr. (Bud). They had one
daughter, Sharon.
My grandmother later married my grandfather, Archibald Cornelius
Lamb, and had three sons and two daughters by him. That is all I
know about my Higgins side of the family.
Hopefully, this information will ring bells with someone.
Thanks so much, Angel Inez Lamb Chesser [email protected]

My g-grandfather was Alfred Irvin Higgins. He was born in Urbana, Il. in 1852. He married
Amanda Sanford in 1875 and he died in Stafford, Ks. June23, 1928. His father was
Lewis Calvin Higgins, born in 1830 in Connecticut. Married Sarah Newlan in 1851, in
Urbana, Il. She died
Feb. 2, 1899 in Stafford, Ks.
I think but cannot prove that Calvin Higgins from Homer Courtland, N.Y. was his father and his mother was
Amanda Geer (Gere_. I am not at all sure
about the Calvin Higgins as I can't seem to find where he was ever in Connecticut. I am
positive about Alfred and Lewis. Lewis was a drummer in Company E, 14th regiment of Illinois
Vols. infantry in the was of 1861-1865. I have a widow's declaration for pension for that.
He died Dec. 6,1890 in Stafford, KS.
If what I know helps, great. If what I cannot prove you can help me out. It would be great.

I would like to find documented proof of Joseph's parents.
My direct line of Higgins is from:

NEW YORK -
05 January, 2002
I am looking for information on my great-great-grandparents.
John Higgins was raised in an orphanage in New York
City. He married my g-g-grandmother, Amelia Zengler,
about 1893 and they eventually had four children. His
parents died shortly after arriving in NYC. He was
born in Co. Cork, Ireland (he claimed) approximately
1872 but I am not certain on date, as it comes from
the 1900 census. The census also says he was born in
New York City.
There is a brother listed living with him. His name
was William and his birth date was listed as 1870.
There may be a sister, Julia, as my grandmother
remembers an "Aunt Julia" Smedley that was older than
her own parents.
I would love to find information on William and his
family and that will give me a connection and maybe
some leads on where to go next.
Thanks in advance.

George Higgins of PA
Feb 03,

I'm looking for information about Rev. George Higgins (b 12/16/1798; d. 3/9/1869) and his
family. In cemetery records (Montgomery Baptist Church, PA), his widow was
Mary Jenkins,
although the gravestone of his daughter, Martha, cite his wife's name as
Mary Landreth Higgins.
I'm a bit confused - would Mary's maiden name actually be Mary Landreth Jenkins?
I would also like to know who George's parents were and where they were from.
Besides his daughter Martha L., Rev. George had a son, George Jr. who was born 5/22/1834.
George Higgins Jr. married Georgia Taylor (of course dad officiated) on 1/14/1862 in Philadelphia.
They had six children: John Lockhart (died in infancy), Henry Allen (my gg grandfather),
Adelaide Blanche, Mary Landreth, Harriet Scott, and
George Clifton.
Any help would be appreciated!

Subject: Bridgette Higgins family
I am looking, without much success, for the roots of my family and the name
of Higgins is a part of this search. I got as far as 1910 in the Pittsburgh
area census and prior to that I am lost. Here is what is known: Bridgette
Higgins was my grandmother, my mothers mom and immigrated from County Mayo,
Ireland around 1900 maybe right before that. where she departed and ended up
entering the states is a mystery. She lived on the 1800 block of Wharton
Street on the 1910 census but nothing before that shows up. If you have any
info or maybe advice on where to continue please do I would greatly
appreciate it.

I wanted to tell you how much I liked the site. It is
a wonderful idea. I hope many more Higgins get submitting info we can share.
I am looking for information on Higgins in the Tennessee area,
specifically my husbands great-grandfather and mother.
His name was John and he was a farmer. He married Mary
Elizabeth. I don't know if they originated from the area or not.
Their children were, William Wesley (grandfather), Jim, Ed, Thomas, Laura, Sarah,
Emory and Clara.
William married Flora Bell Bracey. Laura
married Marshal Hewitt, and Clara married Roy
Clark.
I only have first names for some of the men's wives: Jim
married Alena, Ed m. to Ozena, Thomas m.
Beatrice, and Emory m. Eva.
I believe most of them stayed in the Tennessee area. I would appreciate hearing from anyone
who is connected to this branch and could help me get more detailed info that might help my search.
Additional Information
I have found that John Higgins from
Tennessee was born in Texas and his father was also born in Texas. I found him on the 1920 census in Tennessee so he was in Texas prior to that.
