General Notes: Husband - [Father] Higbee


The earliest ancestors of the Higbee family in America were two brothers, who left England about 1680, accompanied by an aged father who died on the passage. The brothers, with their families, settled on Long Island. They had left England on account of religious persecution, and they belonged to the class called Puritans or Nonconformists. Two sons of one of these brothers settled in New Jersey.

The Higbees, especially the earlier generations, were tall, active and long-lived. Their occupation generally was farming, and the majority of them were Baptists.
