In the HISTORY OF GWINNETT cOUNTY, GEORGIA, pg. 48, I found a marriage for R. T. Higgins and Ann Chandler in 1844 in Gwinnett Co.On page 50, I found a marriage for H. T. Higgins and Catherine McMillan in 1848 in Gwinnett Co.My gr gr grandparents were Reuben Thornton Higgins and Catherine Martha McMillan Higgins and they were married December 30, 1846.The second entry on pg 50 has the date wrong.But I am not sure about the R. T. Higgins and Ann Chandler.I assumed that because the Initials were correct that the info was correct and I have not checked the originals for this.So, I placed Ann Chandler as Reuben's first wife with her dying before Dec. 30, 1846.I did find Reuben and Catherine in the 1850 C. of Gwinnett Co. in the Town Dist., 36th Division, Family 749.This lists their children:

I am sorry about so much info, but it is important to note the common names and the confusion that that causes.Do you think that this is the R. T. Higgins who married Ann Chandler oris it another Reuben Higgins?Also, Benjamin Higgins, born March 11, 1790 in Laurens Co., SC, died March 19, 1873 and is buried in Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church in Austell, Cobb Co., Ga.Benjamin's wife's name is supposed to be Rebecca ?, b. ?, d. April 24, 1845, buried ?As far as I know, she is not buried at Mt. Pisgah.In the censuses, which I beleive to be this Benjamin, 1820-Gwinnett Co.-Benjamin is listed with 1 male under 5, and 1 male 26-45, 2 females under 5,and 1 female 26-45.in 1830, Benjamin is listed with 2 males under 5, 2 males 5-10, 1 male 40-50, 1 female under 5, 1 female 5-10, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 40-50.Is this the same Benjamin?Where did the female child who should have showed up in the 1820 C. come from? I have not had a chance to look at the 1840 C. yet.Any ideas?Also, do you have any ideas as to the relationship of this Benjamin to Joel and Reuben who were in Gwinnett Co. in 1820?Thank you, Mona
