Notes
General:
"Nothing certain is known of this William. It is possible that he was the same as the William Higgins of Medfield, Mass. in 1737, or as the William of Chesterfield, Mass., in 1765, but no evidence to prove the conjecture has been discovered." 4

Marriage Notes (Jerusha Cole Dyer)
"From a quarterly report given Dec. 3, we extract the following : —

" As it will be a year, in a few days, since the schooner ' Ellery C. Anthony' sailed from Newport Harbor, for Tangier Sound, I suppose we are under the painful necessity of admitting that she must have been lost with all on board. Capt. William H. Higgins, and William Newcomb, Jun., were both highly respected members of this church. They were called suddenly, but, we trust, were prepared for their change.

" We rest our expectation not upon any dying testimony, but upon about twenty-five years of Christian experience, in which they exemplified those traits of character which only proceed from regenerate hearts. Not only their families, but our church and community, are deeply afflicted by this sad bereavement."" 41
