We e-mailed each other years ago and I just think there is a connection somehow to my Dr. George Higgason. You have referred to Sumner Co., TN, where his two wives had family ties to; at least their brother, Reuben Davis was born there. Reuben studied medicine under Dr. Higgason and practiced briefly but then went into law. I believe Dr. George may have had another first name. Besides the doctors, I also come across "Roads and Bridges" in the Higgason history, and Dr. Higgason was in charge of them for a while in Monroe County, MS. I have never been able to find his father. If I can find his father, I can connect to the whole line. He named his son Edmond, another Higgason name. I have found an older Edmond in Louisa or Hanover, or even another county in Virginia who was involved in "Roads and Bridges." Also, the name "Newton" comes up quite a bit in this family and I believe there was a Dr. Newton who taught some of these folks. Any clues? I have been looking for years!
