Anastasia,
How exciting to hear from one of Louis Clyde Higgerson's descendants! I knew he had a son, but I was unaware that his son had children. I also knew Louie--as my grandfather called him--had a stepchild and stepchildren, but I…

I have ancestors from the same region, and if I'm not mistaken, there's a Batchelder in my tree. But right now I'm not home, so I'll have to look it up and get back with you. My ancestor, born in Pittsfield, Chichester, NH, was…

Just in case ...
While they references are likely to sources you've accessed before, wanted to make sure you knew I'd posted some information about your Robie comment at the New England Researchers group.
In the response, I…

- Thank you Diane. My dad's side of the family is from NC but I'm thinking parts of it may go back to VA but I've not gotten that far, yet. What's the best way to get the results to you. Just post them here or e-mail them to you? To tell you the truth I was a little surprised by the results. Not that I don't realize the history of slavery but based on the pictures of my granddad (he was already deceased when I came along) I just didn't think there would be. Oh and please know that I'm not ashamed of that just wasn't expecting it on that line. I've always been about finding my ancestors regardless because they are my history and I wouldn't be here without them.
