Sorry about not getting back to you sooner but mother has not been doing
well for several weeks and then daddy got sick, then genealogy got the back

I will try to answer any questions that you have about the Hightower's but
when it comes to the Hightower children that were living with the
Langston/Benbrook families, that is one of the great mysteries of genealogy.
