General Notes (Husband)

---

John Higley 3d married at the age of twenty-two, the fact of which is setforth in the Town Records of Simsbury, thus:

"Aprill 7, A. D. 1757. Brewster Higley the 3d, son of Brewster Higley the 2d, and Esther Owen, daughter of John Owen and Esther his wife, were Joined in marriage by John Humphrey Esqr. Their grandfather's name is Brewster Higley and Grandmother's name is Esther. Their father's name is Brewster Higley and mother's name is Esther, so that there are three generations from Grandfather and Grandmother down to Grandson and grand-daughter, all of one name for male, and one name for female -- three generations now living. May the divine blessing rest on them and theirs to the latest posterity."

The father of the bride, Deacon John Owen, was at that time the townclerk, and made the record.

They settled at Simsbury, where they resided for twenty-two years, then removed to Castleton, Vt.
