Here's a note from Frances that appears in the July 1991, Higdon Family Newsletter, No. 235, regarding her father who died suddenly in 1990.
"I did not ask enough questions about the 'old days.' I do have two elderly uncles to help fill in some information. But I wish I had heard it from Daddy. Daddy traced his roots to Daniel Higdon of Charles City County, Virginia."
There is a lesson here for all of us. We should ask questions now about our
family history.
