AARON HIGGINBOTHAM
Still another one of our oldest citizens has dropped off and gone to that "borne whence no traveler returns." He lived to a good ripe old age. Esquire Higginbotham was born
in Amherst County, Va., May the 10th 1778, and died August 13th, 1869--making him upwards of 91 years old. From Virginia he moved to Georgia, and afterwards to Tennessee when a young man or shortly after the year 1800, when the county was new and almost entirely unsettled. He was one of the oldest land surveyors in this portion of the State. He commenced this a Vocation before 1810, and first surveyed nearly all the lands in this portion of the State before they were taken up. He married Elizabeth Christian of this county in the year 1810, by whom he had seven children. His first wife having died he then married a second time, a widow lady--Mrs. Mary Allen, formerly of N.C.--By her he had two children, and at his death his children had multiplied into a numerous offspring to mourn his loss. Although not attached to any church, he made a profession of religion in his early life, and always referred to it in good faith and conudence. He was a man of strict honesty and integrity and beliked by all who knew him.
