Bill,
Hi. I received your email some time ago and way behind in responding. I am
really interested in the Higginbothams and have not spent a great deal of time
in that line. I am attaching a file of what I do have. If you have any
problems with it, let me know. My Higginbothams are from England and I do
have some info. that my aunt provided me such as what they did in England and
articles about them.
Anyway, I'm providing what I do have and hope to hear from you.
Take care,
