African -American Huggins/ Onslow County, NC
Hello
My name Edward G. Huggins of Rocky Mount North Carolina.
My Great-Grand Father was John Huggins of Onslow County(Jacksonville)area of North Carolina.He fathered a Son
by Martha White name Edward Garfield Huggins, whom I am named after, he was my Grandfather. Martha White was on a plantation near Richland North Carolina(Onslow County) not to far up the Road (58) northwest of Jacksonville nc.
I was told that John Huggins father was transported from a plantation out of Virginia. His father could have been Warner Huggins. Warner married Tinar or Tina,John had a brother name luke.John Huggins and Martha white Son(Edward)
relocated to Craven county(Fort Barnwell,Dover and New Bern NC) Some of these were African American Slaves.
I would like to know if anyone have any information about the Huggins and Huggins slaves in and around Jacksonville nc. There is an area call Gumbranch and Gumbranch road in Jacksonville NC that some of the Huggins
lived many years ago.Any comments and informaation concerning this part of the Huggins Family will be appreciated.
Edward Garfield Huggins
Great-Grandson of John Huggins And Martha White.
