Surname:
We are researching The Higginbotham family history and it has lead us to Barbados. We show Anthony Higginbotham was born in England and died in Barbados. We are looking for the name of his wife and the dates of her birth and death. They had a son named John Higginbotham. He was born 1614, and died 1673. He was a Lt. Col. in some type of British service and he married Alice and we need her surname. They had one son and he was John Higginbotham and he was in the service and had the rank of a Capt. He was born in 1636 and died in either 1713 or 1714. He married Ann born in 1638. We need her surname also.

I, too, have been researching the Higginbotham line. Your John Higginbotham born 1636 is my 9th great-grandfather. Here's some of the info I have, but also have been unable to find maiden names of the Higginbotham wives.
John Higginbotham born 1636 in St. Phillip Parish, Barbados; died September 4, 1713 in St. Phillip Parish. John married Anne (last name unknown) born 1638 in Salford, Lancaster, England; died after 1713 in Salford, Lancaster.
Children of John and Anne: Charles (my line), John, Cleaver, Millicent, Beulah, and Elizabeth.
John Higginbotham (father of John above) born 1608 in Salford, Lancaster, England; died November 27, 1673 Barbados. Married Alice (last name unknown).
Children of John and Alice: John, Martha, Alice, Sarah, Priscilla, Mary, and Joan. I show that this is the first Higginbotham of this line to go to Barbados.
Anthony Higginbotham (father of John above) born abt 1588 Stockport, Cheshire, England. I have not identified his wife yet. The only child I have identified is John above.
Nicholas Higginbotham (father of Anthony above) born in England. This is the only info I have on Nicholas.
If you can help me fill in any gaps, I would really appreciate it. Hope some of this helps you.
