Biographical Sketch of J. T. Higgins, Johnson County, Missouri Kingsville Township >From "The History of Johnson County, Missouri," Kansas City Historical Co. 1881 J. T. HIGGINS, was born in St. Louis County, March, 1851. His father, W. W. Higgins, is a native of Matyland. The subject of this sketch grew up as the sons of most farmers do, working on the farm in summer and attending school in the winter. He early evinced a taste for raising fine stock, and followed that until 1881, when he thought the western part of the state afforded better advantages, he, with his wife, moved to Johnson County, and settled in Kingsville township, on section 14, where he has 168 acres of well improved land. He was married in 1877 to Miss Nanna H. Blount, a native of Missouri, and daughter of James E. Blount, a native of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. H. are both members of the South Methodist Church. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
