Notes

In the Corcoran-Kirkland cem Amite Co. MS: One of the other remaining headstones says " Harriet Lillian Corcoran, dau. of J. H. and A. A. Corcoran; Born April 3, 1871; Died Aug. 27, 1878". If I'm not mistaken that is the daughter of John
Henry Corcoran, [ brother of James Nash Corcoran], who was a "sharpshooter"
and served in Co. C, ["Amite Co. Rifles"], 7th MS Inf Regt. ^[S1048]

Notes

"Later papers, 1834-1860, consist mostly of correspondence of James Gwyn II, his wife Mary Anne Lenoir Gwyn, and his brother-in-law Major Lytle Hickerson."

Subject: Higginbotham - Wright Families Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001
I am trying to sort out my great great grandmother, Corilla Rebecca Higginbotham. My great great grandmother was a Higginbotham from Louisiana.
I don't have a lot of dates, but I have a few family names.
The following is transcribed from a handwritten document from my great uncle Carter Russell Lee (son of Mose L. Lee and Corilla Rebecca Higginbotham):
"These people were associated with my mother (Corilla Rebecca Higginbotham)
during the years before her marriage.
The Zay Wright Family consisting of Uncle Zay, his wife Aunt Molly Higginbotham Wright, daughter Minnie, Mary Lou and Sadie.

Will Wright family: Uncle Will, his wife, Aunt Hattie McClain Wright, children, Gilmer, and (twins) Doc and Will and 3 or 4 daughters.

Carter Lamer Higginbotham, his wife, Grandma Cassie Wright Higginbotham and my mother, Corilla Rebecca Higginbotham, the only child.

My mothers' father (Carter Lamar) died when Corilla was about two years old.

My Grandmother Higginbotham formerly a Wright ( sister of Zay and Will Wright) sent Mama (Corilla) over to live with Uncle Will Wright, when Corilla was around 3 or 4. Somewhat latter Grandma Cassie remarried again to a Mr. Henry (last name) and she bore him a daughter, Lola. Lola was some 7 or 8 years younger than Mama, her half sister. In the mean time my Grandmother somewhere along the line (new Mrs. Henry) had tried to get my mother to come & live with them but the Will Wrights refused to give her up for they needed her to look after the twins and do the housework. My mother's mother died just before her second child was due, by Henry.
Will Wright was married to Hattie McClain. They had three sons: Gilmer, and twins - Doc and Will. They also had 3 or 4 daughters.
Uncle Will Wright was a good man but his wife ruled the roost. Mama was getting no schooling so Uncle Zay took her to his house, so as he put it, she could learn to write her name. When Mama was 18 she married into the Lee family, then considered a prominent business man from the Carolina's."
(This was written by my great uncle Carter Russell Lee, Sr.)

Corilla Rebecca Higginbotham married Mose Lynwood Lee. They had four children:
Carter Russell Lee (Sr.) born May 1900 married Ina Sleigh
Wilma Ray Lee (my grandmother) born 25 July 1901 Rogilliville in West Feliciana Parish married Robert Joseph Duvernet
Clarence Orrin "Buddy" Lee born 1904 married unknown
Willamae Lee born 1906 died 1994 married Clyde Torry

Mose Lynwood Lee was the son of Thomas Jefferson Lee and Mary Newton. They had many children, but I don't have any of their names.
This orbit was sent to me by a kind person from the Lee Boards, A. Blocking.
"I have a copy of Mose L Lee obit I got out of the 1954 Baton Rouge Advocate. It states "Died at 9:50 am today at his residence, 418 Government.Aged of 82. Native of East Feliciana Parish. Came to Baton Rouge in 1917. Retired from Esso Standard Oil in 1937 after 20 years service. Funeral Services to be at Welsh Funeral Parlors at 2pm Sunday. Burial in Roselawn Memorial Park. Survivors include his widow, the former Corilla Higginbotham of EFel: two daughters, Mrs. J R Duvernet and Mrs. C E Torry; six grandchildren. 11 great-grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces."

I believe Mose is a gggreat uncle whose parents were Thomas Jefferson Lee and Mary Catherine Newton. I have him born in 1869 in the Felicia's."

My grandmother Wilma Ray married Joseph Robert "Bobby" Duvernet (born 17 April 1898 New Roads, LA and died 21 Jan 1965 New Road) They had a house on Main Street in Baton Rouge, LA. Do these Higginbotham's match yours from LA? Any help would be appreciated.
