Mary Guerrant [email protected]  

My g-grandfather was Alfred Irvin Higgins. He was born in Urbana, Il. in 1852. He married Amanda Sanford in 1875 and he died in Stafford, Ks. June23, 1928. His father was Lewis Calvin Higgins, born in 1830 in Connecticut. Married Sarah Newlan in 1851, in Urbana, Il. She died
Feb. 2, 1899 in Stafford, Ks. 

I think but cannot prove that Calvin Higgins from Homer Courtland, N.Y. was his father and his mother was Amanda Geer (Gere_. I am not at all sure about the Calvin Higgins as I can't seem to find where he was ever in Connecticut. I am positive about Alfred and Lewis. Lewis was a drummer in Company E, 14th regiment of Illinois Vols. infantry in the was of 1861-1865. I have a widow's declaration for pension for that. 
He died Dec. 6,1890 in Stafford, KS.
 
If what I know helps, great. If what I cannot prove you can help me out. It would be great. Mary G.

Looking for father of Benjamin Sherman Higgins

My name is Sandra Higgins Chalmers of Southwest Harbor. My father was Wesley Higgins of Ellsworth, his father was Benjamin Sherman Higgins of Eden. Benjamin had two sisters, Agnes (1879-1956) and Alice (1876-1959); a brother, Hollis (1883-1908). They and their mother, Harriet H (1857-1950) are buried in Ledgelawn Cemetery in Bar Harbor. Great Aunt Alice married Frank Conners of Eden and Great Aunt Agnes married a man with the last name of Goddard. When I was a little girl in 1950+, we visited the Aunts on Albert Meadow in Bar Harbor.

My grandfather Benjamin Sherman Higgins was born in 1884 and died in 1930. He married Maude Ruth Haynes of Bar Harbor.
    Bride's Name: Haynes Maude R 
    Bride's Residence: Bar Harbor, ME 
    Groom's Name: Higgins Benjamin S 
    Groom's Residence: Bar Harbor, ME 
    Marriage Date: November 21 , 1906 
Further information on how to order copies can be acquired at:
http://www.state.me.us/sos/arc/ 

My Great Aunt Agnes had a deed from William Bingham in PA to Nehemiah Higgins, a yeoman, of Eden dated 10/7/1802 (which I now have) for 65 acres in Eden. I wonder if that was her grandfather.
Any information you might have would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Who were Daniel's parents and were there other children, too?

Subject: Finding the missing link

I am trying to research my maternal grandfather's side of the family. My grandfather Willard Sears Higgins born in Laconia, NH August 17, 1905 to Edmund Asa Higgins (1875 to May10, 1908) of E. Boston, MA and Ethel L. Belcher of Winthrop, MA. Grampa was the 3rd child born to Edmund and Ethel he had a sister Helen Francis Higgins July 30, 1901 born in E. Boston, Ma and a brother Edmund Asa Higgins Jr. April 23, 1903 born in Newbury, VT. My great grandfather Edmund Asa Higgins, born in 1875, had a sister Ida Higgins Burdick. I don't know if she was older or younger than Edmund.
My Great grandfather was born to Willard Sears Higgins of E. Boston ( sea captain?) and Clara J. Harper of E. Boston (nurse?). We'd like to know where the line comes from. We're under the belief this branch of Higgins is English.

Brick Wall for Higgins 

My name is Brenda Snyder and I live in Brimfield, IL. My grandfather was born Edward (Bill) Higgins (b. 7-3-24, d.6-10-94.) He was adopted by his maternal aunt and her husband, so we never went by the name Higgins, and don't know very much about ourselves. 

My biological great-grandparents were Inga Larson (b. 11-23-1901, d. 11-4-1924) and Maurice Daniel Higgins (b. 12-16-1898, d. 5-31-1934) Maurice was born in Neillsville, WI and died in Duluth, MN. He was a motorcycle cop. His parents were Edward Higgins and Rose Introwitz, and I have nothing on them but their names. 

Any threads anywhere?

NEW YORK  - 05 January, 2002

I am looking for information on my great-great-grandparents.

John Higgins was raised in an orphanage in New York
City. He married my g-g-grandmother, Amelia Zengler,
about 1893 and they eventually had four children. His
parents died shortly after arriving in NYC. He was
born in Co. Cork, Ireland (he claimed) approximately
1872 but I am not certain on date, as it comes from
the 1900 census. The census also says he was born in
New York City.

There is a brother listed living with him. His name
was William and his birth date was listed as 1870.
There may be a sister, Julia, as my grandmother
remembers an "Aunt Julia" Smedley that was older than
her own parents.

I would love to find information on William and his
family and that will give me a connection and maybe
some leads on where to go next.

Thanks in advance.

Looking for descendents and ancestors of Lawrence Higgins. He emigrated to NYC from Ireland in 1861 at the age of 16. Subsequently married Mary Cavanagh who came to the US in 1864. They had
5 children, Ellen, Thomas, Peter, Mary, and ?Timothy. 
Thomas married Mary Moynihan and they had 3 children, Thomas, Grace and Rosalie. All settled in Westchester County, though really the Bronx.

NEW YORK

John R. HIGGINS, born 19 April 1875 at Bunratty, County Clare, IRL, immigrated to the USA from Ireland departing on the vessel  S. S. Cymric from Queenstown and arrived at the Port  of New York, New York, USA, in 1900. He settled at Niagara Falls, Niagara, New York, USA and married on 15 June 1904 to Hannah Imelda BE(or I)RMINGHAM from Burrane, County Clare, Ireland, in St. Mary's of the Cataract RC Church  at Niagara Falls, NY. He died 21 October 1933. John's parents names are John HIGGINS and Elizabeth DOLAN. His Immigration List says a Patrick KING, cousin, paid for his passage to here. I am hoping to contact anyone who would like to share information about his ancestors or descendants.  
TIA, Maureen Higgins Seifert

George Higgins of PA
   Feb 03, 2002

I'm looking for information about Rev. George Higgins (b 12/16/1798; d. 3/9/1869) and his family. In cemetery records (Montgomery Baptist Church, PA), his widow was Mary Jenkins,
although the gravestone of his daughter, Martha, cite his wife's name as Mary Landreth Higgins.
I'm a bit confused - would Mary's maiden name actually be Mary Landreth Jenkins? 
I would also like to know who George's parents were and where they were from.

Besides his daughter Martha L., Rev. George had a son, George Jr. who was born 5/22/1834.
George Higgins Jr. married Georgia Taylor (of course dad officiated) on 1/14/1862 in Philadelphia.
They had six children: John Lockhart (died in infancy), Henry Allen (my gg grandfather), Adelaide Blanche, Mary Landreth, Harriet Scott, and George Clifton. 

Any help would be appreciated!

Subject: Bridgette Higgins family

I am looking, without much success, for the roots of my family and the name of Higgins is a part of this search. I got as far as 1910 in the Pittsburgh area census and prior to that I am lost. Here is what is known: Bridgette Higgins was my grandmother, my mothers mom and immigrated from County Mayo, Ireland around 1900 maybe right before that. where she departed and ended up entering the states is a mystery. She lived on the 1800 block of Wharton Street on the 1910 census but nothing before that shows up. If you have any info or maybe advice on where to continue please do I would greatly appreciate it.

Tennessee  20 January 2002

 I wanted to tell you how much I liked the site. It is a wonderful idea. I hope many more Higgins get submitting info we can share. I am looking for information on Higgins in the Tennessee area, specifically my husbands great-grandfather and mother. 

His name was John and he was a farmer. He married Mary
Elizabeth. I don't know if they originated from the area or not. 
Their children were, William Wesley (grandfather), Jim, Ed, Thomas, Laura, Sarah, Emory and Clara. 
William married Flora Bell Bracey. Laura married Marshal Hewitt, and Clara married Roy Clark.
I only have first names for some of the men's wives: Jim married Alena, Ed m. to Ozena, Thomas m. Beatrice, and Emory m. Eva. 

I believe most of them stayed in the Tennessee area. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is connected to this branch and could help me get more detailed info that might help my search.
  
Additional Information
I have found that John Higgins from Tennessee was born in Texas and his father was also born in Texas. I found him on the 1920 census in Tennessee so he was in Texas prior to that.
