Quote: One version that John H. came from Ireland to VA early in the 18th century with 5 children: John, Moses, Aaron, James and Anne and that 4 others were born in VA, Benj. Joseph, Rachel and Thomas. quote "Documentation of this tradition has been difficult to prove". The HIGGINBOTHAM "family tradition" has always said that the parents of Moses, Joseph, Aaron, Benjamin, John, James and Rachel HIGGINBOTHAM were John HIGGINBOTHAM and Frances (Riley) and that they came from from Ireland. To the best of my knowledge, this theory was first advanced in the genealogical literature by William M. and Lenora (Higginbotham) Sweeny in a series of articles in the William and Mary Quarterly (and other genealogical periodicals) in the period 1915-1918. Again, to the best of my knowledge, no one has ever been able to produce *documentary* proof that there ever was a Frances Riley (or Reily) married to a John HIGGINBOTHAM (or to any other HIGGINBOTHAM for that matter). The name Frances Riley (or Reily) has never been found in any church record, civil record, Bible or other contemporaneous document, and exists soley in the oral traditions of our old Virginia HIGGINBOTHAM family and subsequent published genealogies based on those oral traditions.

Quote: SUDAN, TEXAS. Sudan is at the junction of U.S. Highway 84, Farm roads 298, 303, and 1843, and the Santa Fe Railroad, in west central Lamb County. The area was once on school land granted to the county in 1892, then part of the 77 Ranch, owned by S. B. Wilson and Wilson Furneaux. The school lands were sold in 1893, then passed to Wilson and Furneaux in 1916. The town developed in 1917-18 with a hotel and service from the Santa Fe Railroad, which had built a branch line from Lubbock to Texico, New Mexico, in 1913. The land company manager and first postmaster, P. E. Boesen, suggested the town's name in 1918. A gin was built in 1922 and a bank established a year later. The town was incorporated in 1925, when the population was 600, up from a population of only fifteen in 1920. The first of several grain elevators was also erected in 1925 and the Sudan News began publication. The population was 1,014 in 1930, 1,336 in 1950, 976 in 1970, and 1,091 in 1980. In 1990 it was 983. The population reached 1,039 in 2000.

Quote: History in a Pecan Shell Sudan was once a part of the 77 Ranch. The town itself dates to 1917 and was located on a branch line of the Santa Fe Railroad. The town's name is credited to the first postmaster, P. E. Boesen, but his reason for naming it remains a mystery. The post office was granted in 1918 when the town had fewer than 1920 inhabitants. The population ballooned to 600 in 1925 - the year the town incorporated and the first newspaper (The Sudan News) was published. The population high-water mark was 1,336 in 1950.
