Benjamin Higson b. about 1800? in Bolton

According to family records, my ggg grandfather was Benjamin Higson, of Bolton, Lancashire born sometime around 1800. He married Margaret Lyon (dau. of James Lyon and Catherine Liptrot) and they moved to Pennsylvania around 1825. There they had three children, John , James and Catherine. In 1832 Benjamin was killed in a boating accident and Margaret moved back to Bolton with her three children. There she married a Mr. Hart and had four more children, Alfred, George, Eliza and Susanna. My gg grandfather, John Higson moved back to Pennsylvania in 1857.

I am looking for any information about Benjamin Higson and his family origins, and Margaret Lyon. There seems to be quite a bit of information about various Higson families in Bolton, though I see no specific mention of a Benjamin Higson. Is he perhaps a brother of one of the people mentioned here? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
