HIGGINS, STONE (2), TUCKER, SHULL, HOLMAN, CATO, CARRIGAN, HUNBAUGH



H. C. HIGGINS is a son of Owen H. HIGGINS, who was of Scotch descent, born

in Kentucky in 1802.  He came to Lincoln County, Tenn., in 1806 with his

father, and eventually became the owner of 200 acres of land, about five

miles from Fayetteville.  He was married about 1824 to Fannie H. STONE, and

by her was the father of eleven children, eight of whom are living:  Nancy

(widow of Daniel TUCKER), Sallie (Mrs. Daniel B. SHULL), Mary (Mrs. Isaac

HOLMAN), George W., a lawyer in Fayetteville; Martha D. (Mrs. James Cato),

Fannie E. (Mrs. J. E. CARRIGAN), Virginia (widow of Prof. Peter HUNBAUGH)

and our subject H. C.  Their father died in 1865, and their mother, who was

born in 1806, in Virginia, died in 1871.  The subject of our sketch was

born near his present place of residence in 1846, and was educated in the

neighboring schools and at Fayetteville, and made his home with his mother

as long as he remained unmarried.  December 22, 1868, he wedded Fannie

STONE, daughter of L. L. STONE.  Mrs. HIGGINS was born in Lincoln County,

and has two children:  Berry Owen and Julia.  Mr. HIGGINS and wife own 488

acres of land, and have a beautiful and comfortable home.  Mr. HIGGINS is a

man of good business qualities, and in politics is very conservative,

casting his first presidential vote for Seymour and Blair.  He is a member

of the I. O. O. F., and he and wife are members of the Cumberland

Presbyterian Church.
