Notes
General:
"Samuel Higgins resided at Eastham and was probably a farmer. He was one of the witnesses of the will of Nathaniel Mayo, Aug. 10, 1715, and gave testimony for the same July 9, 1717. He was elected tithingman Jan. 10, 1727-8, and constable on March 10, 1728-9. March 10, 1730-1, he was chosen surveyor of highways and again March 4, 1733-4. These are all the town offices he was known to have filled. in 1703 land was granted to him on the town flats, but he doubtless possessed other land in Eastham. His four sons, Israel, Theodore, Ichabod and Samuel, all were given lands by the will of their grandfather, Israel Cole, of Barnstable. The three older sons all removed to Connecticut. Samuel died before his father. Only the sons of the second wife remained in Eastham, and one of these may have removed." 7Marriage Notes (Elizabeth Eldred)
12 Mar 1740 is the date of Intentions, rather than actual marriage date.

Birthdates of Lydia (24 Feb 1767) and Rachel (18 Aug 1767) conflict in the Eastham records, as noted by transcriber, but KC Higgins has Lydia born in 1764. 15Marriage Notes (Eunice Smith)
Eunice is alternatively identified as Eunice Young, d/o Henry Young & Elizabeth Higgins, born Eastham 1743
