Jane Judson JENCIE  Sex: Female
Birth Date 1754 Spartenburg Co SC
Death Date  1840 Izard Co AR. 
Father   Born:  
Mother   Born:  
Jane Judson
Notes:
 

Notes: Jinsey or Jane (no maiden name found at present) is thought to have been born in either North Carolina or South Carolina about 1760-65. She may have been married prior to her marriage to Thomas Hightower, but no record has been found. Family tradition in my line as well as other descendants of Jinsey, claims that she was Native American. No proof has yet been found. Following the death of Thomas Hightower, she moved with her children to Izard County, Arkansas in November 1829. It has been reported, but not proven, that she later moved to what is today Oklahoma where she died sometime after 1840. No other information available 

Spouse: Thomas Jr Hightower   Sex: Male
Birth Date 1735 FEB 05 Richmond Co VA 
Death Date 1808 Warren Co, KY 
Father Thomas Hightower Born: 1710 MAR 20 or 1711 Died: 1763
Mother Kindness Prentiss Born: 1711 Died: 1763
Thomas Jr Hightower Notes:  
Individual Notes: Thomas was the son of Thomas Hightower Sr. and Kindness (maiden name unknown). There are comments out there on various Net locations giving the maiden name of Kindness as Prentess but they are without any real genealogical support. No later than 1768 Thomas married Susanna (maiden name unkown). There are comments out there on various Net sites giving the maiden name of Susanna as Harrington or Herrington but they are without any real genealogical support. A "Mrs. Hightower" was ordered executed in the Greenville District of South Carolina about 1780 by the notorious "Bloody" Bill Cunningham, a Tory, for refusing to divulge the location of her husband. This "Mrs. Hightower" is believed to be Susanna. Thomas was at the time serving in Col. Roebucks Regiment, South Carolina Militia. In about 1786 he married Jane "Jinsey" or "Jency," whose maiden name may have been Judson.
