MacGuffin Higgins - Strawberry Arkansas
I have spent several days in the North East Arkansas Regional Archives and I have looked through all the tax records to find out the death date of MacGuffin Higgins who was my GGG Grandfather.His birth was in the year 1844 and he died in the year 1873.We know this is true because he was listed in 1873 on Personal Property / school tax records of Lawrence County, Arkansas and in 1874 his wife is listed instead of him.The same happens for a couple years after his death.No other mention of Mac Higgins after that.
He is thought to be buried in Ward Cemetery, Strawberry Arkansas.His children and wife are buried there also.Grave is unmarked.
