PREFACE The Higgins* genealogy was published in 1918. Since the publication new records have been acquired. The vital records of New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts, now deposited in copies at their capitals, have been searched for Higgin;; names. Hundreds of new items have been obtained in this way. 1\fany friends have kindly supplied additional records and corrected errors found in the genealogy as published. Thanks are hereby rendered to all who have thus ?,ided. Special thanks are due to Mr. Stanley W. Smith for copies of old· deeds and documents; to Mr. J. Gardner Bartlett for valuable criticisms and suggestions; to Mr. H. E. Deats and to Mrs. F. W. Benham, Indebtedness to other helpers has been indicated by appending the source of each contribution, as far as practicable. The data furnished by Mr. A. A. Aspinwall from the U. S. Pension oflicc hus proved to be very important. . In this Supplement heads of families have the same number as they had in the book as first published. This number follows the name of the family head, is inclosed in parentheses, and the number of the page precedes, thus: "Page 71. Elisha Higgins (14)." Then follow new facts or corrections obtained concerning the family head bearing this ·number in the book of 1918. Members of his family and other descendants are then mentioned preceded by the word "His" (or "Her").

SUPPLE1\1ENT Pages 15-17. The pedigree quoted from l\Ir. l\Ionnctte, nltlaongh given ont in good faith, is a fraudulent compilntion. l\Ir. J. Gardner Bartlett, an expert in English homes 0£ tl1e founders of New England, says of it: "There is no such place as Dridstone, County Hertford, although there is a. Dridstow in County Hereford. There is no Stoke Hundred in either county. There are two parishes called Langley in county Hertford, Abbots Langley and Kings Langley. Accounts have been printed of the churches and monuments of both of them, but they mention no Higgins monument as given by Anjou. There is no Langley in county Hereford." These geographical impossibilities in the Monnette pedigree are sufficient to prove the entire pedigree false and worthless. It is to be regretted that this false pedigree was published in the first place, and unfortunate that it was reproduced in Richard Higgins and His Descendants, although there regarded as suspi cious. Readers of the Higgins Genealogy should utterly disregard this l\fonnette pedigree. Pages 32-37. Since the above-mentioned book was published other ancient deeds have come to light. Two furnished by ~Ir. Stanley W. Smith are here given. The first is an exact copy of the original document, which bears the only known autograph of Richard Higgins.

As Attest Joseph Lothrop Clerk and Recorder, The signature of Richard Higgins (note his spelling, not Hig gens as the writer of the deed made it) is the only known auto graph. The words "In presence of" appear to have been added by Josiah Cooke before he wrote his name. Thomas Paine's sig nature is an autograph. The acknowledgment is in the baud of l\fajor John Freeman and bears his autograph. Since the con sent of Mrs. Higgins was necessary, the land was probably part of the home lot or a. part of the estate of her first husband, John Yates. The second deed will be given in abstract only. "The deed of Thomas Roberts of Dartmouth in New England conveyed to Jonathan Sparrow his messuage, hpuses and lands in Eastham, thirty acres of upland with my housing upon it, lying upon Poche at the south east side of a parcel belonging to Richard Higgens also three acres meddow, also an acre and half of meddow.

The probate record quot~,} does not prove that Mary Higgins married Samuel Oliver, because Elizabeth Oliver, wife of Zerah Higgins (7) and mother of Richard Higgins (26), was a sister of Samuel Oliver. Hence Samuel Oli ver was a maternal, not a paternal, uncle of Richard (20). An inscription in the Presbyterian churchyard, Elizabethtown, N. J., reads: "Mary wife of Samuel Oliver died Jan. 23, 1729 aged 62 years, 6 months." This inscription proves that Samuel Oliver did not marry Mary Higgins, for she was fourteen years oldl•r thnn the l\f rs. Mary Oliver of the inscription. It has been said that Mary Higgins umrric 9 Page 65. Rebecca Higgins (9). Her son John Martin mar ried Temperance --, and had children Sarah and Rachel and perhaps others. Her son Samuel Martin married Sarah --and died at Woodbridge, N. J. (will probated June 12, 1740, mentions children Thomas and Samuel). Her son Isaac Martin married Hannah -- (will probated July 19, 1733, mentions children Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). Gershom Martin married -- and was living in 1755, his children probably Eliakim, Daniel, and Jo seph. Eliakim Martin, born 1713; died ~lay 18, 1782, and buried at Metuchen, N.

Daniel Martin of Woodbridge township, will probated April 30, 1782, names wife Keziah, children Daniel, James, Hannah, wife of Joseph Martin, Sarah, wife of Gershom Martin, Rhoda and Walter. Bis wife Keziah was perhaps a Dunham, and widow of- Chandler. -F. W. G., Newark Evening News, Feb. 12, 1916. Page 67. Mr. Stanley W. Smith is of the opinion that Mrs. Lydia (Sparrow) Freeman was the second wife of Jonathan Hig gins (12). This may h:.tYe been the fact, but nothing of record h:ts Leen seen which indicates it. Jonathan Higgins reached his majority about 1685, when he took the oath of fidelity, and was but twenty-six years old in 1690 when he took the freeman's oath .. Page 68. Eighth line from bottom.

This Solo mon is the person numbered 62 on page 128, but the pedigree and the birth date are wrong on this page.

The Release of Dower, men tioned in connection with Isaac Higgins (124), necessitates the following restatement of the family of Isaac Higgins (63): Isaac Higgins (Benjamin, Benjamin Richard), born July 12, 1725, at Eastham; died at Eastham-Orleans in 1788; married first April 15, 1749, Rebecca Mayo, born Feb. 13, 1733; died before l\fay 28, 1767, probably in 1766, daughter of Richard and Rebecca (Sparrow) Mayo; married second May 28, 1767, Anna Freeman of Truro, perhaps a widow at the time.

Oct. 6, 1755; not living April 7, 1789.

J.); mar ried l\Iarch 15, 1802, Hannah Mackie (or Ma.ckay).-Essex County Mar-riages, A. 27. She married as his third wife John Stiles, father of Harriet Stiles who married Luke Haviland Higgins, Jr. Children. i. William Brown, b. 1803; married; died without issue. ii. Luke Haviland, b. Nov. 29, 1809; married Harriet Stiles. On page 206 this Luke Haviland Higgins is erroneously made the son of Luke Haviland Higgins, Senior, and Fanny Dawes and on page 304 the same error is repeated. In the Addenda, page 614, is given the family o{ Nathaniel Higgins (66) as reconstructed by Mr. J. Wallace Higgins. It appears probable that Nathaniel Higgins had also a daughter 15 Hannah who married Robert Gibbons. She had· William Higgins Gibbons, b. Nov. 25, 1797; d. Feb. 5, 1798; and Ann Gibbons, b. Aug. 25, 1799; d. Jan. 9, 1800, at Elizabeth, N. J. Pages 133-4. Joshua Higgins (69). The will quoted makes it clear that he had no son named Peter. Peter Higgins was his negro servant. The son, John Higgins, who married Mary Schuy• ler was not son of Joshua Higgins (69) but of James Higgins (70) and was the John Higgins who died Jan. 25, 1791. Neither did· Joshua. (69) have a daughter Mary Gulick. His daughter Eliza beth Higgins was living Oct. 2, 1806, and was then unmarried. -Liber 11, Deed3 at New Brunawick, N. J. Page 135. James Higgins (70) was deceased before June 8, 1807. His brother John Higgins married Mary Schuyler. This is proved by a deed in Book E., p. 236, of Somerset County Deeds at Somer ville, N. J., recorded May 16, 1808. "This indenture June 8, 1807, between Jediah Higgins and Nurse his wife of the first part and Mary Schuyler Higgins and John Mury her cousin of the sec ond part, for a consideration of five hundred pounds or thirteen hundred and thirty-three dollars money of the United States of America the said Jediah and Nurse of the first part conveys to the said Mary and John of the second part two(?) parcels of land, the first being the same which John Higgins by his release dated Sept. 21, 1789, did release unto the said Jediah Higgins, of which said John Higgins became seized of as one of the heirs of his grand father Jediah Higgins and his brother James Higgins."

Page 137. Abisha Higgins, son of Ebenezer (74),. was born June 12, 1753, according to Mayflower Descendant, vol. xx, p. 95. The son Elisha, b. Aug. 12, 1753, should be omitted. It is a mis reading for Abisha, with wrong month. Page 138. Samuel Higgins (75) married second, Sept. 12, 1795, Eunice Young of Wellfleet. Wellfleet records give the intention the date Oct. 29, 1795, and Orleans records give the date Sept. 12, 1795, for the marriage.

Gardner Bartlett thinks he was the son of Beriah Higgins (31) and that he was called Joseph Higgins, Jr., at his marriage, Joseph, son of Joshua (18), baptized 1717, being Joseph senior. Possibly Mr. Bartlett is correct in his opinion, but in view of the additional facts. printed on pa.ges 598 ff., we find it difficult to accept this view. Had Joseph, son of Joshua (18), been living, the latter would not have made his nephew Joshua (42) his sole heir, which he had done before October, 1748, as the court files at B~ston show. Page 167.

Isaac Higgins (124). The following paper, found among documents belonging to the Gould family of South Orleans, and loaned to l\Ir. Stanley W. Smith by Frederick W. Snow, has been kindly placed at our disposal by Mr. Smith. It reads: .. Know all men . . . that I Anna Higgins of Eastham . . . widow of Isaac Higgins late of Eastham deceased for and in con sideration that Ebenezer Harding, Constant Harding, Rebekah Higgins, Abigail Snow and Elizabeth Higgins have delivered unto me all the personal Estate that I brought with me when I mar ried the abovesaid Isaac Higgins with one third o{ the Indoors Personal estate and one cow and calfe which was my late hus band's, I do . . . quitclaim all my Rite o{ Dower in all the Real and remaining Personal Estate my husband died seized o(, unto the sd Ebenezer Harding, Constant Harding, Rebekah 25 Higgins, Abigail Snow and Elizabeth Higgins, Heirs to the estate of my late Husband . . . 7 April 1789. Anna Higgins X her mark Seal Signed in presence of Polly Dyer Elisha Snow (Never acknowledged or recorded.) This Release of Dower raises the question of the identity of the Isaac Higgins mentioned therein. Mr. Smith says: "I can not place the Isaac Higgins who married Anna. Freeman, but from the wording of the release of dower I should aay she was a second wife and I do not think that Constant Harding, Rebecca Higgins, Abigail Snow and Elizabeth Higgins were her own childres.i, but her step-children. I should say too that the release was probably made out in Truro, from 'Polly Dyer' signing as a witness. • . . Looks more like a second marriage of Isaac Higgins (63) in the Higgins Genealogy. The Isaac Higgins who died in 1788 is undoubtedly the one who married second Anna Freeman.-See Bill of Mortality of Orleans in Mayflower Descendant, vol. vii, p. 228." In this view we concur. This interpretation of the paper men tioned above necessitates a number of changes in the text of the Higgins Genealogy as published. Isaac Higgins (Isaac, Isaac, Benjamin, Richard), born June 15, 1745, did not marry Anna Freeman of Truro as stated on pages 110 and 176. He is probably the Isaac Higgins, Jr., who died at Orleans in 1780 and the record of Revolutionary War service given on page 176 probably belongs to this Isaac Higgins, and there is no record of his marriage or family.

Simeon. He was master of the sloop Polly, fifteen tons or thereabouts, navigated by four men with no guns, and on Aug. 13, 1783, be cleared from Boston with a cargo consisting of a crate of crockery, two boxes of pipes, four chests of tea, two tons of steel, one bundle of frying pans, (our bags of shot, five boxes of choco late, five kegs of nails, five barrels, one trunk, three boxes of dry {?) goods, one ton of hollow ware, one hhd. of brandy, one bng indigo, one bag of pepper, two kegs of spirits, one box of glass, six looking glasses. "Said Simeon Higgins has given bond of Five hundred pounds that the said goods and commodities &ball not be carried to or landed at any Port under the Dominion of the King of Great Britain." Capt. Higgins made entry of the sloop and cargo at the port of Middletown on the Connecticut River on August 28, 1783, fifteen days after clearing from Boston. Mrs. :Martha (Knowles) Higgins, wife of Capt. Simeon, did not die in 1817, but was living at Orleans Jan. 5, 1825, on which day she gave power of attorney to James Higgins, Jr., of Orleans to a.ffix "my sen! and acknowledgement to a deed or deeds of all tb~ real estate which I own in the town of Orleans." Witnesses were Simeon Mayo and Elizabeth Higgins, the latter of v.·hom signed by "her mark." This power of attorney is among the ancient documents found by Mr. Stanley W. Smith. Pages 185-6. Nathan Higgins (138). His daughter l\Inry, born Nov. 11, 1789, did not marry Obadiah Baker. It was l\Iary (Polly) Higgins, duughter of Col. Moses Higgins (243) who mar ried Obadiah Baker. (See the notes given under pnge 265.) l\Iary, daughter of Nathan (138), married a Higgins and died a ~·idow at Halifax, Mass .• Sept. 18, 1868, nged 80 yrs., 10 mos., 8 29 vii.

The information regarding Philip Higgins of Foster's Point and his descendants was furnished by Mrs. Edward C. Stiness, who received from her grandfather, Jeremiah F. Higgins, what he in turn had received from his grandfather,. Philip Biggins of Foster's Point.-See also Reed's Hinory of Bath, Me., pp. 49 and 65. For an account of the descendants of Philip's youngest son Benjamin see the note referring to page 286, Benjamin (280), where the family of Benjamin Higgins of Foster's Point, son of Philip, is given. Page 188. Thomas Higgins (140). His second wife, ·Ruth Rieb, may have been born in 1744 or in 1745. Miss Evelyri Rich of Boston, genealogist of the Rich family, writes: "There was a Ruth Rich born in Truro in both of these years. I cannot find her age" (i.e., of the Ruth that married Thomas Higgins). Pages 189-90. Jonathan Higgins (142) married third March 0, 1785, Eunice Drown. The deaths of four of their daughters occurred as follows: Mrs. Dethiah (Higgins) Swett, widow, died at Wellfleet, Feb. · 2, 1876, aged 90 years, 2 months, 23 days. Mrs. Sarah (Higgins) Wiley, widow, died at Wellfleet, March 2, 1880, aged 89 years, 3 months. Mrs. Olive (Higgins) Kemp, widow, died at Wellfleet, Nov. 5, 1873, aged 78 years, 5 months. Mrs. Hannah (Higgins) Lombard died at Truro July 11, 1865, aged 67 years. She.was not then a widow. Either Mr. Lombard: was her second husband or the book is in error in saying that she · was the wife of Thomas Cobb of Truro. The vital record says that each of these four was a child of Jonathan and Eunice Higgins and born in Wellfleet. Page 195. Anna, daughter of Samuel Higgins (145), died at Orleans, Mass., Oct. 29, 1845, "aged 60," unmarried. Page 195. The notes on the Rogers family appear here in revised and enlarged form. Thomas Rogers was a passenger on the Mayflower and signed the Compact while the ship was approaching or had reached Prov incetown harbor Nov. 11, 1620. When at Leyden in Holland he 30 was a camlet merchant. William Jepson and Roger Wilson be came his sureties on June 25, 1618. He sold house on the Bnr barasteeg for 300 gulden to Mordecai Cohen April 1, 1620. (See Dexter's England and Holland of the Pilgrima, the Appendi::s::, con taining list of Robinson's congregation and other English people at Leyden.) The records at Leyden give no clue as to his English home. Governor Bradford says (The Bradford Ilistory, Massa chusetts edition, pp. 533, 537): "Thomas Rogers and Joseph his : sone. His other children came afterwards. . . . Thomas Rog- : ers dyed in the first sicknes, but his sone Joseph is still living, and is maried and hath 6 children. The rest of Thomas Rogers chil dren came over and are maried & have many children." It is greatly to be regretted that Governor Bradford did not give the names of "the rest of Thomas Rogers children" who came·over. It is known that John Rogers of Duxbury, Mass., was one of them. Perhaps the James Rogers and Thomas Rogers given tentatively in the list below as cpming over in 1635 were sons of Thomas Rogers of the Mayflowe~. Been.use of the uncer tainty, no attempt has been made to trace the descendants of these two, if there were any. It has been claimed that Thomns Rogers of the llayflower was a son of Rev. John Rogers of Dedham, England, grnndson of Noah Rogers of Exeter, England, and great-grandson of Rev. John Rogers, the noted martyr of Queen Mary's reign, burnt at Smith field in 1555. The discoveries of Henry F. Waters, whose bril liant work revealed the homes of so many New England settlers, fail to substantiate this. In his Genealogical Gleanings in England,. vol. i, p. 209 fI, Waters has published the results of his work upon the Rogers family of Chelmsford, Essex, to which Rev. John Rog ers of Dedham belonged. Rev. John Rogers of Dedham died Oct. 18, 1636. His will shows that he had no son named Thoma.s or grandson named Joseph, nor any relatives in New England. His son Nathaniel did remove to New England in the year his father died and was minister at Ipswich, :Mass., until his death in 1655. His cousin, Rev. Ezekiel Rogers, was minister at Row- 1 ley in New England until 1660. No evidence has been found to '. show that these ministers of New England knew that they had kindred in Plymouth Colony. Ilev. John Rogers of Dc 31 probably remained in England. Rev. John Rogers of Dedham and his brother Thomas were the only known sons of John Rogers. of Moulsham, parish of Chelmsford in Essex, baptized 1538, died 1601. He in turn was the son of John Rogers the younger of Chelmsford, a term which implies a John the elder as his father. As John Rogers the martyr was born about 1500, it seems impos sible to count the Chelmsford Rogers family among his descend- , ants. Children of Thoma, &ger, of th, Mayftot.o,,. i. Joseph, b. about 1610i married Hannah -. ii. James, b. about 1615. A James Rogers, aged 20 years, came to New England in the ship lncrecu, in 1635. Possibly a son of Thomas Rogers of Plymouth. iii. John b. about 1617. A John Rogers, aged 18, came in the ship George in 1635. Perhaps son of Thomas of the Jfay flower. John Rogers of Duxbury, proved son of Thoma.s of the Mayflower, may be identical with this John of the ship George. John Rogers of Duxbury died there in 1691 or 1692. iv. Thomas (possibly). A Thomas Rogers, aged 15, came lo New England in the ship Georg, in 1635. Perhaps son of Thoma.s of Plymouth. Joseph Rogers, son of Thomas of the Mayflower, born about 1610i died at Eastham (South Orleans) in 1678. He is thought to have been brought up in the family of Governor Dradford; wa.s given two acres of land in 1623, which would indicate that he wa.s bom some years before 1610. In 1627 in the division of cattle he had his portion in the eleventh lot, which fell to Governor Brad ford's company, of which Joseph was one. In 1633 he was a tax payer in Plymouth and married. In 1636 he was living near Jones River in Duxbury and had a ferry near his house. In 1637 Dux bury was made a town and he held several town offices. Some seven years later he settled at Nauset (Eastham). In 1647 be was appointed lieutenant of the military company at Eastham, to exercise the men at arms, and held the office until 1661. In 1664 he was again appointed lieutenant. In 1658 he was a mem ber of the Council of War. He owned much land in South Or leans and Harwich and died there in the early part of the winter of 1677-8.

Soon after their marriage Elisha and his wile went to Standish, Me., and bought a farm, but were unable to pay £or it, owing to the depreciation of Continental money.

See the correction made for page 131. The same error should be corrected on page 304. On Jan. 19, 1852, the living children of (157) were Samuel C. Higgins, Joseph T. Higgins, Mary Higgins, Abby B., wife of Luke' Haviland, Julia A., wife of John O. Burnet and Isaac 0. Higgins. · James D. Higgins, another son, had died leaving a daughter, Mary Emily Higgins. This is proved by a suit brought in the Court of Chancery, dated Jan. 19, 1852, wherein Isaac 0. Higgins com plainant vs. the above children of Luke Haviland and Fanny (Dawes) Higgins and Mary Emily Higgins, daught«>r of James D. Higgins deceased, claims that a lot on Commerce Street in Eliza beth, N. J., deeded Oct. 1, 1838 (Essex County, N. J., Deeds, 38 Book C. 5, pp. 7-8), by Isaac 0.

Dear Cousin: I don't suppose you have heard of grandfather's [Col. Moses Higgins] death, unless you hnve seen it in the papers. He died the 23 of Feb. He was confined to the bed six weeks before he died and was lifted out of bed twice or three times during that time, that was all. He lay very low indeed the last ten days he lived and took but little notice. I think he was sensible most of the time, more so than he was the first of the winter. Aunt Sarah Carpenter lives down here on the Cape now, and has for the last eighteen months. They have bought a house down here. She took grandfather and kept him this winter. . . . I 56 received a letter from Winslow Smith nhout a fortnight ago. He is well au Miss. Josephine Smith, Fort Plain, N. Y., is a daughter of 1 Winslow Smith. She states that \Yinslow's father died when he was two years old and thereafter he lived with his grnndfather, Col. Moses Higgins. When eighteen years old he went to St. Johnsville, N. Y., evidently called Palatine in those days; that Winslow Smith's only sister, Phebe Taylor Smith, married Charles Goodenough and died quite young, leaving four children. Sarah Sparrow Higgins, daughter or Col. Moses and Hannah (Rogers) Higgins, did not marry second in 1877 John G. Snow, as far as the family or :Mrs. Soulhwprth ha,·e knowledge.
