• Notes

  Besides the grants of land given above, Col. Higginson had two others, a partnership with Abraham Moone for 2,000 acres on the south side of the Potomac, Sept. 20, 1654, and one of “Colonel Humphrey Higginson, of the Council of State, and his son Thomas Higginson,” for 800 acres on the south side of Pianketank, in Gloucester county, Sept. 20, 1654. The son probably died within a few years, for he is not mentioned in his father's will. Col. Higginson died at Ratcliffe, in Stepney parish, London, in 1665-1660. He left a brother Capt. Christopher Higginson, Virginia, who has numerous descendants. See William and Mary Quarterly V, p. 186. source: Taylor, Lyon Gardiner. Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume 1.
