I have told that the Huggins came with Rev. James Gilliland circa 1804 to Red Oak from North Carolina. From Church records under date of June 11, 1831, William and Frances, his wife, and Eli, Alexander, Zimri, Elizabeth, Amzi and Jane, his wife, were all received under the care of the White Oak Church on a certificate from the Red Oak Church. This was the core group that settled on the North Fork of White Oak Creek at what became Sicily.

I note that John Moore, father-in-law, is living in the household on the 1850 census. Martin Luther Huggins (1834 and death date unknown, but believed to have been before the 1870 census), was a 16-year-old boy and it is my guess that he had heard stories about John Moore’s activities on the Underground Railroad.

The Huggins family came into Ohio with Rev. James Gilliland from Gastonia, North Carolina to Red Oak circa 1805. Their earliest ancestor was John Huggins (1726-1811), who was born in Ireland and died at Gastonia, N.C.

There is a lot of information on John Moore (1779-1857) who was born Dec. 4, 1779 in Madison, Middlesex, New Jersey, but we do not know his parentage. John Moore married Frances Graham (1781-1832) in Monongalia, Va. in 1799.

John Sloan (1770-1836) married Mary Scarbrough in 1792, and they came to Highland County from Kentucky in 1808. He was a Methodist who had a log church about one mile southwest of what became Mowrystown in 1829.

Continuing the story of the Graham family’s settlement around what became Sardinia in 1835, I had three children to cover in the David Graham Sr. (1774-1845) and Jane Dunn Graham (1774-1839) line.

The migration series that I did on the first settlers in White Oak Township, before it was a Township, is possibly my best as an historical piece. It was done by pure deed research, taking each survey and looking up who the first owners were.
