Other Houston County High Family

 In addition to the Robert A. High family and his brothers Henry and Wiley Turner  High Jr. and Marie High sister to the above.
there seems to be another branch of the High family that ended up in the Crockett and
Houston County area. This family is a work in progress and any information you would have on Lewis B. High , his descendents or ancestors would be appreciated by his great granddaughter Lynda High.  We would like a look up for the Antioch Cemetery to see what information if any is on the tomb stone.
