Maryland: Saint Mary's County
Higgs and Clark St.Mary's Co., MD
Posted by: James V. Clark Date: March 02, 2001 at 17:26:48 of 169
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have runacross a Clark-
Zachariah Higgs connection in St. Mary's Co., MD.
Charles Sothoron Clark, son of Leonard and Mary SothoronClark, migrated to
Granville Co., NC. I am of the belief that hs
brother, Leonard did also. Charles and Leonard were in St.Mary's County in
1768 when they were found on a leased farm.
Their father Leonard Clark Sr. had leased the farm from JohnHiggs in 1742. I
believe this John Higgs to be the father of
Zachariah Higgs.

Higgs. p. 24

Higgs, wit. p. 154
(Was this John Higgs a brother of Zachariah or his father?)
This Zachariah Higgs was the son of John Higgs, and had anumber of children
of which two interest me. He named one son
Southern or Sothoron Higgs, and another Leonard Clark Higgs.Leonard Clark
Higgs was born in Md and possibly St. Mary's Co.
Sept 13, 1756. ( I did find this family in St. Mary's Co.and on the INTERNET.
Since two of his children were named after known Clarkmembers, either for the
parents or the brothers, I am of the believe that
there might have been a marriage somewhere in the past andof course before
1756.
I believe Leonard and Charles Sothoron Clark had a sister,born abt 1738.
Leonard was born abt 1740 and Charles was born abt
1742. Could this sister be the wife of Zachariah Higgs?Zachariah was born abt
1735 in prob. St. Mary's Co., MD. In my notes,
he was married to an Elizabeth Kenelm. That marriageprobably took place in
St. Mary's Co. Could this be a second marriage
for Elizabeth?
It just seems strange that Zachariah would name two of hischildren known
Clark names, Leonard and Sothoron, and not be
related to them.
Your thoughts?
Sincerely,
Jim Clark
PS I did find out the ages of Leonard and Charles SothoronClark.
It seems that the birth date for Leonard in 1740 is correct."Catholic
