Additional Comments:
Although the death certificate shows her name as Francis, her age as 82, and 
without a husband's name, a check of census records for several years shows 
that she was married to Henry S. Higginbotham by 1880, was living next door to 
her mother Milly/Millie Popham and Frances' siblings Elisha, Louisa J. and 
Robert D. Popham, along with Henry S. Higginbotham and two children, Levert (?)
F. and Hattie or Hetter L.Higginbotham.  Henry S. Higginbotham was shown in the 
1860 census of Franklin Co., GA as age 7 in the household of Benjamin 
Higginbotham along with his siblings Mealy J. or Jane, age 11, and William
or William Martin, age 9. Benjamin Higginbotham had married Mary Ann Tyner on 
30 Sep 1843 in Elbert Co., GA but Mary Ann was not shown in his 1860 Franklin 
Co. household. Benjamin was believed to be the brother of William Higginbotham 
who had married first in Elbert Co. on 16 May 1841 to Eliza Tyner and second 
on 16 Aug 1849 in Elbert Co. to Elizabeth Tyner. The families of William and 
Benjamin lived close to each other in Franklin Co. in 1860 and 1870. Their 
parents are unknown.
