The Higley genealogy, pg. 285 "Captain Joseph Higley was 3 times married" Soon after passing his 22nd birthday he married Ruth Holcombe, April 1, 1737. His wife died in childbirth the following July, and the infant followed his mother to the grave, one month after, August 26, 1737." Her early death with no heirs explains why she is not listed in the will of her father John.
