Cleburne County, Alabama (formed from a parts of Calhoun, Randolph and Talladega counties in 1866) Wills and Inventories 1868 - 1884
(from a transcribed book) shows the following:
pages 121 through 125 - - Will and Inventory of the estate of Nelson Higginbotham, deceased. Will dated Jan6, 1872 - - Legatees were: wife (not named), son Perry Higginbotham's heirs; son Talbert Higginbotham's hair; daughter Hulda Kennedy's heirs; son Hamlton C. Higginbotham to receive gold watch; son Burrell Higginbotham; daughter Harriett Kennedy; son Walker Higginbotham; daughter Avaan ? Evans; daughter Rodaan ? Wheat; and son Taylor Higginbotham. Will recorded Feb 26, 1873. Witnesses: Jesse Smith, James T. Rusk and C.T. Williamson, all from Chulafinee. Son Burrell Higginbotham named Executor. Appraisors of the property were the three witnesses to the will. Value of estate was $7,860.64.
pages 209 - 210 - - Lane rentals and sales, estate of Nelson Higginbotham, deceased. Burrell Higginbotham, Executor. Lands rented on March 11, 1873 to Burrell Higginbotham, J. Menedorf ?, with W.A. Bacchus and William Noel as securities. T.R. Tennison with C. Haywood, securities; Rhoda Wheat with James Rusk as security; John Gamble and Joseph Gamble; and the Taylor place rented to P. Kelly in 1871. rentings recorded Jan 28, 1874. Land sold to Burrell Higginbotham, executor, on Jan 26, 1874, recorded Jan 28, 1874. Purchase price was $3600.
None of these Higginbothams were in old Benton, Calhoun or Cleburne counties in the 1850, 1860 or 1870 census's, however there
were some Higginbothams in Randolph County, AL in 1850 census: Ephraim Higginbotham, wife Polly and chldren; William Higginbotham and wife Lucinda and children; Benjamin and Burrell Higginbotham and their wives and children; and Nelson Higginbotham, his wife Lucretia and children. William Kennedy and his wife Hulda were in Randolph Co., AL census in 1850 (living with Nancy Turner and her family); and Joshua R. Kennedy family, Hezekiah Kennedy family, with Joshua Kennedy and his wife Nancy living next door in Randolph Co., AL in 1850 census.
There are Higginbothams in 1860 census for Randolph Co., AL as well as many Kennedys.
Nelson Higginbotham and his wife Lucretia are buried in Cleburne County, Alabama at the Chulafinnee Methodist Church Cemetery. There are four names on the same tombstone:
