I would suggest the possibilty that Vandorn HIGGINS may have sold his share to John Jacob ARBELE. I have seen a similar case in NC in the same time period, where a stranger appeared in the deed records with the other children selling the father's land. The only record found that this stranger was not a blood heir, is among the loose estate papers of the deceased father where there was a paper signed by the "missing" heir (and her husband) selling her share to the "stranger" who then participated in the sale that appeared in the deed book. If not for that that paper among the estate papers having survived, someone might wrongly conclude from just the deed records that the "stranger" was a blood heir.
