My line is convoluted with numerous names. Beldon, Picher Okla., and Kansas, Branum from Oklahoma City Okla. and Higgins from Springfield Mo from 1919 and Picher, Okla. I was born in a house in Picher Okla. in 1944. My father always told us kids that he was fathered by a movie producer going through town from Chicago on his way to California in 1919 by the name of Joe or Joseph Higgins, his was raised by his �step father� Harold Beldon in Missouri and Northeastern, Okla. He was raised in Olago , Okla. down in the river bottom on a ranch that was owned by Will Rodgers.

Higgins originally from Yancey County, NC 
My family was from the Bee Log area and possibly originated in Virginia. My ggf (Grover Cleveland Higgins) moved to Spartanburg County SC.

I am trying to find a connection for my great grandfather, Thomas H. Higgins. He was born in 1846. I believe he was born in Arkansas, but his parents were born in Tennessee (according to various census records). He lived in Conway and Perry County Arkansas. He was married to Rebecca Cobb. She was born in Georgia as were her parents. Thomas and Rebecca had several children, one of them was my maternal grandmother - Minnie Bell Higgins. Thanks for the help.

My name is Michael K. Higgins and I'm from Oklahoma. I have my Higgins information from the very first Higgins in our family. My Higgins family was Native American. Here is my Higgins family.

Joseph Higgins, born 1822 Nebraska. Joseph Higgins was a full blood Otoe, and received his name from the whites. In 1860 he married full blood Otoe Maggie De Roin. Maggie was born in Nebraska in 1824. In 1842 Joseph and Maggie had a son named John Higgins, who was born in Kansas. John Higgins was full blood Otoe. In 1862 John married Miriam Potter a full blood Otoe. Miriam was the daughter of Alonzo Potter and Mary In-the-Greathouse. John Higgins and Miriam Potter had a son named Robert Higgins born 1864 in Kansas. Robert Higgins was a full blood Otoe. Robert married a full blood Indian, Clara Ware who was 1/2 Delaware and 1/2 Sac and Fox. Robert and Clara had a son named Clarance Higgins born 1903 in Kansas. Clarance was full blood Indian, 1/2 Otoe,1/4 Delaware,1/4 Sac and Fox. Clarance Higgins married Utica Hayes born 1904 in Kansas. Utica was a full blood Indian. She was 3/4 Sac and Fox and 1/4 Otoe. Clarance and Utica had a son Robert Higgins born 1924 in Oklahoma. Robert was full blood Indian. 1/2 Sac and Fox, 3/8 Otoe, 1/8 Delaware. Robert Higgins was my grandpa, he married my grandma Gloria Fox born 1925 in Kansas. Gloria Fox was a full blood Sac and Fox. My father was born 1962 in Oklahoma. My father is full blood Indian and is 3/4 Sac and Fox, 3/16 Otoe and 1/16 Delaware. And then there is me Michael Higgins born 1982 in Oklahoma. So that is my Higgins family, from the first person in my family to be given the Higgins name all the way to me.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you,
Michael K. Higgins

Seeking information on Elizabeth Higgins. She was married to William M. Owens and they were the parents of Martha Ann Owens born June 14, 1840 in SC. 

I am seeking to find out if Elizabeth was a member of a Native American group, possibly Cherokee. Or, could it be that William M. Owens was a Cherokee? 
If you have information on this I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks so much.

I am trying to find the parents of William Higgins. 
He was born in 1795 according to the marriage bond signed by his mother, Catharena Higgins on 18 December, 1816 in Rockingham County, Virginia. His wife was Nancy Harrison whose father was Thomas Harrison. They were in Tennessee shortly after that before moving to Orange County, Indiana. I am assuming William and Nancy both died in Indiana, but I have no verification. Thank you so much for your time.

I wonder whether you've been contacted by anyone else working on the Higgins' in Wheeling?

I descend from Robert and Anne (Lewis?) Higgins, who have their own household in Ohio County (W) VA in 1830. He was born ca 1802 in NJ, she was born England (both birth locations taken from census).

Robert and Anne had a number of children, only 3 of whom I can connect:

1. Martha Ann Higgins -- b. 1829/30, Ohio County (my grgrgrgrandmother)
2. Thomas Lewis / Louis Higgins -- b. 1838 (in the census usually as Louis)
3. Robert Taylor Higgins -- b. 1842

Robert Higgins is living next door to Thomas H. Higgins (photographer) in Wheeling in 1870, as your website confirms. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mjhiggins/wv.htm#thomash 
Along with several other clues, I think that my line and the Bernard Higgins line are connected. In fact, given their relative ages, I think Bernard and my Robert (b. 1802) must be brothers.

Have you come across anyone else looking into this family?

Thanks for any help.

My name is Diane Richards and I live in Florida. My father used to tell us about our family history and although he couldn't remember alot of it, it was fascinating to me growing up. 

Our family has been on Mnt. Desert Island since the late 1600's or early 1700's. My father used to say we've been on that island since Cadillac Mountain was 4 feet high. He told me that my great, great grandfather was Alonzo Higgins. He also told us that Alonzo had a daughter, Addie, who married my great grandfather, George Richards. He mentioned the name Royal Higgins as being Alonzo's brother. He said he wasn't sure of who was who but that his father used to tell him these things. My father passed away last month and I would like to be able to tell my children about our family history. 

George and Addie Higgins had two children, Hoyt and Georgia. George and Addie are buried at the Town Hill Cemetery. I don't think we were ever supposed to leave the great state of Maine as I hate the heat. We have been in Florida for 43 years. Our old family home is in Indian Point on Oak Hill Rd. My father sold it 4 years or so ago. The house had been in our family since the beginning of our history on the island. We have title deeds dating as far back as the early 1700's.

I keep trying to find things on the computer and so far, your place has been the only place I have found Alonzo's name. If you can shed any light on this for me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Diane Richards [email protected]

A recent inquiry at http://genforum.genealogy.com/higgins/messages/4595.html appears to be linked to this inquiry
The Genforum posting was
"I am looking for information on a Mary* Higgins married to Daniel Emmons Pray, probably Bar Harbor/Trenton area of Maine. Does anyone have information on either of these 2? They had a child named Fanny Pray (b. 1857). Fanny Pray married Charles Brown (b. 1857)--both from Bar Harbor"

The Mary mentioned most likely is actually Melissa Higgins

-Webmaster's findings-
In the 1850 Census for Royal & Sarah Higgins they have daughter named Melissa and she and her family are living next to the Pray family which is at the top of the image, the only one missing from the image because he was enumerated on a different page is  Eben Pray age 47, Male.

I am trying to make a connection with Mansel Higgins William Higgins and Caleb Higgins. William and Mansel were more than likely brothers. I know their wives were sisters. 
Here's what i know:
James Henry (Polk) Higgins was born 1845 in Hamilton Co. TN. (1850 Census Hamilton Co. TN) and was living with his parents (George W. Higgins and Nancy ?). The family was living in Marion County, TN by 1860 and the elders died about 1899 and 1900 there. 
I need to connect these Higgins with the following: Richard Mancel Higgins, Absalom Higgins, William Higgins, Caleb Higgins, Moses Higgins and Riley Higgins, all from Walker Co. GA and Hamilton Co. TN area. I have reasons to believe that these people are closely connected to George W. Higgins but no documentation to support this. They were all always living close to each other. Do you have any Higgins relatives who were living in the Walker Co. GA or Hamilton Co. TN areas in the early 1800's? Please contact me, I would love to chat with you. Anyone researching this line of Higgins?

-Looking for Higgins ancestor-

I have been looking for the parents of Charles W Higgins, born 31 May 1815 in Ohio (possibly Highland Co.). He married Mary M Stanforth 13 Aug 1839. (More on connection to Stanforth family at http://www.carolyar.com/RichardStandforth.htm)
One of their sons was Benjamin Franklin Higgins, born 7 Sep 1851, who married Eudora Jane Copley 7 Sep 1874 in Walnut Grove, Knox Co., Illinois. I know about Charles' Civil War history  On Site at n-cw1ai.htm Soldier # 15 and his death

My mother-in-law (Charles' great-granddaughter) believed he was the grandson of William Higgins, who was born 1745 (England or Virginia) and lived in Virginia for a time with his wife, Margaret Mooney. William died in 1842 in Jackson Twsp., Highland Co. OH, as did Margaret. , but the only time I have seen a father for Charles is on the Family Search site http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp  where his father was listed as "Leeds Higgins" with a birth date of about 1789 in OH and his mother as "Mrs. Leeds Higgins" born in 1794 in Lorain, OH. But, nowhere else have I found mention of Leeds Higgins, certainly not as one of William's sons. 
Would greatly appreciate any help with Charles' parents. 
Thanks. Dee Russell  Contact Dee
