I've been unable to find his parents. I've read articles and books on the Huggins family with the same results - unknown parents. There's another Huggins from about the same time in which his parents are unknown. His name was Goyen or George Huggins (1815 PA - 1856 Wetzel County) and he was married to Barbara Yoho. By the 1880 census, Goyen was dead. His widow had remarried Stephen Montgomery and they were listed on the same census page as John Randolph Huggins. One of Goyen's sons also had a farm listed on the same page. I know it's no guarantee they were neighbors just because they're on the same page but you'd think they lived relatively close to each other. I wonder if John Randolph and Goyen were related but obviously I can't tell without knowing their parents. I've been having an email correspondence with Goyen's great-great grandson. Last year, I was able to find my Uncle, who is John Randolph's great-great grandson. If these two men were DNA tested and the results came back they're related, wouldn't that mean Goyen and John Randolph were related? Both great-great grandsons are sons of sons of sons, etc. so there were no female Huggins to interfere with the Huggins gene pool. I'm not an expert on DNA but I do remember reading the most comprehensive results come from testing men. Wouldn't this work? Thanks, dee
