Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Chandler-188

Lydia, probably daughter of Edmund Chandler and his unknown first wife, was born say 1614 in England or Holland or ?. Not in Massachusetts[1]

She married Richard Higgins in Plymouth, Massachusetts 11 Dec 1634.[1]

She died after the birth of Benjamin June 1640 and before Richard's remarriage Oct 1651[1].

Richard and Lydia had two children Jonathan (b. July 1637) and Benjamin (b. June 1640), other children of Richard were born to his second wife[1].

Family

Richard Higgins MARRIAGE: (1) Plymouth 11 December 1634 Lydia Chandler (Eastham records give this date as 23 November, but the Plymouth record is clearly to be preferred), probably daughter of EDMUND CHANDLER; she died probably shortly after the birth of Benjamin in 1640, and certainly before Richard Higgins remarried.

CHILDREN: With first wife [PCR 8:27]

i JONATHAN, b. Plymouth July 1637; m. (1) Eastham 9 January 1660 Elizabeth Rogers [MD 6:15, 7:16]; m. (2) by 1680 Hannah Rogers [NEHGR 123:147-48; MF 2:161, 163; NYGBR 46:393]. (The two wives of Jonathan Higgins were sisters, a situation that was considered incestuous by the Puritans and strenuously discouraged; but the evidence presented by Anne Borden Harding in 1969 indicates that in this instance the two wives were sisters [NEHGR 123:147-48].)

ii BENJAMIN, b. Plymouth June 1640; m. Eastham 24 December 1661 Lydia Bangs [MD 8:12], daughter of EDWARD BANGS.

[******MY NOTES: Children i & ii were children of Lydia Chandler - Children iii through xi were children of Mary [_____] Yates due to the assumption of Lydia's death in 1640 and Richard marrying Mary October of 1651. vlww******]

He married (1) Lydia Chandler on November 23, 1634, and (2) Mary Yates in October, 1661, and was the father of six sons and four daughters. He is described as a man of giant strength and integrity of character, and we are told, he was the ancestor of nearly all the Higgins in Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Another New England historian says: Richard Higgins, the ancestor, was of Celtic origin, but seems to have emigrated to America from England, though some of his descendants claim he came from the North of Ireland. [Ibid., Vol. 6.41] Some of them settled in the Saco Valley, and an historical investigator of that region in commenting upon an assertion by a member of the family that his ancestor came from England and presumably was an Englishman, remarks that the Higgins families of Saco all smack of old Ireland, and he asks, did they come from Belfast, Dublin or Cork, via Liverpool, and is this the way they came from England?
