     Otwell Higgenbotham and Lt. Col. John Higginbotham immigrated circa 1638 to Barbados; From History of the Higginbotham name:
     "Early in the seventeenth century the cousins Otwell and John Higgenbotham settled in the Barbados, in the West Indies. The will of Otwell, dated 1649 and proved at London about 1651, mentions his cousin, Captain John Higginbotham, in the Barbados, and his children, John, Joan, Martha, Sara, Alice, Priscilla, and Mary. The executors of the will were Nicholas Higginbotham, of Cheshire, England, and Captain John Higgenbotham, of Barbados.
     Captain John Higginbotham, mentioned above, was living in the Barbados as early as 1638 and may have been identical with the John "Hickcombottom", aged twenty-four years, who sailed in the Bonaventure from London for Virginia in 1634. In 1666 he was styled "Lieutenant Colonel Higgenbottome". It is thought possible that the Barbados line may have been the parent line of the family in Nansemond County, Virginia, but this is not certain."¹
