SURNAMES OF COUNTY MEATH

HIGGINS

The Higgins family originated as a branch of the O'Neills in the midlands of Ireland. Don Ambrosio O'Higgins, the Viceroy of Peru is reputed to have been born at Summerhill. Ambrosio's son, Bernardo O'Hiogins. is known as the Liberator of Chile, in which country a province is called O'Higgins in his memory. The main street of Santiago also commemorates him and is known as Avenida O'Higgins. Bernardo was virtually dictator of Chile from 1818 to 1823 having led its struggle for independence from Spain.

Although F.R. Higgins was born in Mayo, he held a special love for the Meath area and was one of the Boyne Valley poets. Higginsbrook just outside Trim was the family's ancestral home and Higgins often resided there while Managing Director of the Abbey Theatre. Another O'Higgins, this time Brian, was also a writer in the Irish language. Brian O'Higgins, a native of Kilskyre, was an active promoter of the Irish language in this century. Having taken part in the Easter Rising in 1916, he was elected to represent West Clare in 1918.

Alexander Higgins and his wife Mary
http://world.std.com/~ahern/higgins.htm

Alexander Higgins married a woman named Mary. Two different sources in the McAteer family history indicate that the Higgins family was from Glenravel in County Antrim in what is now Northern Ireland. Glenravel is only a few miles as the crow flies over the top of the mountain above the house where Elizabeth McAteer was born at Killougagh in Cushendall. Unfortunately, there is a gap of several years in the parish records for that area and the record of the marriage of Alexander and Mary and the baptisms of children, have not yet been found. There are still Higgins living in Glenravel, however, and further research may yet unearth a connection. The proximity of the family homelands suggest that John Edward Higgins and Elizabeth McAteer may have been acquainted before they emigrated to America. Elizabeth's name has not yet been found on a passenger list, but oral history says that she came to Somerville, Massachusetts after John had emigrated there. [More - Off Site]

Wiley G. Higgins 
http://www.talweb.com/redlimey/gene/higgins.htm 

Reports of Wiley G. Higgins birth are mixed. One report shows him being born 26 Aug 799 in Ireland, then immigrating to New York and migrating to Indian Springs, GA. However the more reliable stories show him born on 24 Aug 1799 in Laurens County, SC and later migrating to the Indian Springs area. The copy I have seen of the family Bible was a poor copy and the DOB could have been either 24 or 26. POB was not listed in this document. In either instance in Indian Springs on 11 Jul1 821 he married Hannah Newton (possible first name of Ann, 1805-1873, born in either GA or Scotland). In 1839 the family moved again, this time for the final move to Macon County, GA. They had eleven children:

1. Elizabeth (b. 06 Oct 1822, m. William Shealy)

2. Martha (b. 24 Oct 1824, m. Aug 1842 Lewis Marion Peters)

3. Margaret (b. 31 Dec 1826)
