Connecting this
Huggins branch is not an easy task. There are many questions yet to be answered.
Bear in mind, this is a work in progress. I will
1.
begin by giving you the reader, the earliest records that I have found so
far, which at this point is where I am in my search. Then, I will bring you
up to present day. I have not given any information upon assumption,
other than the introductory paragragh. All other facts I have found through
various sources and of course obtained copies where possible .One could assume
many facts regarding this first portion of information, however, without
finding some type of documention I will NOT record the info. to be fact!
Earliest records that I have found so far are 1820 land lottery with David,
Green & John Huggins appearing in Hall/Cherokee Cty, Ga.
John Huggins 1830 Hall Cty, Ga. census
All three men are found on 1834 Forsyth Cty, Ga. census.
Later census records show that both David & Elizabeth Huggins were
born in SC. Elizabeth’s age 75 and Davids age 70.(1850
Forsyth Cty. census)
Green married Letty Pugh born in NC. Their daughter
Caroline married Isaac M. Brownlow at the age of 40 in Forsyth
Cty, Ga. record E pg. 32 4/02/1877. The record states her father(Green) to
be deceased. Letty is found as a widow on census by 1845.
*special Notes about David & Elizabeth
There was a marriage recorded in South Carolina of Elizabeth Isbel to
David Huggins. I do not know the county, but Elizabeths mother died
in Pendleton District, SC. I found the information on several different submitted
pedigrees under the Isbell Surname. These records show Elizabeth
Isbel born 2/07/1783. **Is this the David & Elizabeth shown above
in Ga. in 1820-50? if I could find and prove a yes or no answer this
would be progress and perhaps help make connections with the correct family.
Fact: Forsyth Cty, Ga. May 1, 1837 David Huggins and Cullen Davis
are held & firmly bound, unto the inferrior court sitting for ordinace
purposes, sum of $500 sealed and dated 5/1/1837. David Huggins is appointed
legal guardian of Ruthy Isbel Stegal. Orphan daughter of Nancy
Stegall.
Could this be an Isbell connection as mentioned above?
Note: Cullen Davis (male) neighbor on census. Leaving the reader with
the above mentioned information, which I mentioned, is what I am now working
on: ... I present the following:
Descendants
of John Huggins
born about 1790-1800
Ga(?) married Matilda(maiden name unknown) born SC about 1800 (information
taken from son’s Bible, which now is in posession of Sandy Smith)
Aurthors Note: I have not been able to locate any documentation of this
marriage as of this time.
(There is record that John Huggins, William Huggins and James
Maxwell are granted permission to pass through that part of the Cherokee
Nation on

their way to Pendleyton County. State of Ga. Oct. 25, 1804 Source: Early

I have two more generations documented. I will not share them at this time
due to privacy protection. It is my hopes this will help make connections
with other Huggins from this line and be helpful to other Huggins researchers.
Thank you for taking the time to view my family pages. If you are connected
to this family in any way, it would be a joy to hear from you.
May God Bless you.
Sincerely,
Karen Huggins
