[468]
He first appeared in Plymouth, Mass., in 1633. He is said to have come over from South of England with Nicholas Snow. A few of the descendants claim that he came from the North of Ireland, but offer no convincing data. He was one of the original settlers at Eastham, Mass., in 1644. The Mayflower pamphlets in an article on the Cook family give a list of his sturdy and worthy companions. He gave much time, strenghth, and prayer to the developement of that settlement. He was a man of great intergrity of character. His descendants have always been noted for their clear and unflinching patriotism. All family traditions agree with the glimpses of history that Richard Higgins was a skilled tailor. Fine help in this history was given by Jonathan Higgins, Attorney-at-law, Orleans, Mass.
This was taken from the insert of the book "The Higgins Family in New England" By Rev. Chas. N. Sinnett.
