Notes for Elizabeth Highfield
The names Highfield and Highfill seem to have been used interchangeably for a period. The marriage record lists her name as Elizabeth Highfill, but the death record for her son John McCargo lists it as Highfield. I am using Highfield because it seems to be the variant used by most descendents.
