  • Notes 
    • Doug Couch notes 2008:

      In initial online records viewed, Robert Higgins was given as husband of Julian Meals, daughter of Christopher Meals and Elizabeth. While this relationship may exist at some point, more documented records show that this Julian Meals was married to Edward Higgins (given as Robert's father in the online records), with a quote from Julian's gravestone, verifying her marriage to Edward. Thus, the relationship has been unlinked from Robert and relinked to Edward.

      "Edward Higgins, b. 7 Sept. 1545; m. 1598 Julian Meals, b. prob. Bridstone, County Hertford, England, 1582; d. Langley Parish, Stoke-hundred, Hertfordshire, England, 1 Aug. 1603.

      It appears that Edward Higgins was fifty-three and Julian was sixteen when they were married.

      In the church yard at Langley Parish, Stoke-hundred, a brass plate bears the following inscription:

      'Here lies the body of Julian Higgins, wife to Edward Higgins, and dau. to Chris. and Elizabeth Meals, who lived in the Feare of God and died the Fayth of Christ, 1 Aug. Anno Dei 1603.'

      'A most kind child,
      A wife most mild,
      A spouse and daughter deare;
      Though young of age,
      Modest and sage,
      Behold interred here.'

      Richard, b. 1 Aug. 1603, on the day of his mother's death"
