I had asked a friend of mine who lives in Owensboro to find some Higdon obits for me in the Mayfield Messenger, circa 1940 & 1948, mainly in the family of Charles Vitus Higdon who lived form some time in Daviess Co then moved and lived for many years in the Fancy Farm area. I research all MD to KY Higdons as I do Alvey. Charles V Higdon's daughter Blanche married George Clay Gough. Oddly this Gough family seemed to consistently spell their name Gaugh. At first I figured it was just a census error but everytime I ran into the name it was Gaugh. I have kept the traditional Gough spelling but it whenever I look for Gough I also look for Gaugh and Goff these days. For a long time I pronounced the name like Gow like in Cow but was told sometime ago that most pronounce it like Golf?? It's like Alvey, I often them in the O's becasue in MD adn in the south, the name is pronounced like ALL -V and it gets more like OLL - V is the twang gets too southern. Here in CA and in parts of KY (Louisville) where I lived before moving to CA, Alvey is pronounced Al -V
Charles' kids ended up in Ballard Co, Paducah, McCracken Co and in Fancy Farm, Graves Co. Most are buried in St Jerome.
