Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Richard HIGGINS was born on 1 Aug 1603 in England; died on 21 Jun 1675 in Piscataway, Middlesex Co, NJ.

    Notes:

    Sons Johnathan and Benjamin were by first wife, Lydia Chandler. It is said Richard had 10 children by his second wife, Mary Yates. Richard came to Plymouth in 1633.

    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.
