Biography

Joseph was born in 1800. He was the son of Brewster Higley and Naomi Higley. He passed away in 1838.

JOSEPH TRUMBULL HIGLEY, M. D., the seventh child of Brewster Higley, 4th, and Naomi his wife, was the only child in the family who was born after the removal of the parents from Vermont. His birth occurred in the year 1800. He was noted in his younger years for his poetical talent, a vein of which runs through different branches of the Higley family.

He married Emily Reed, and in 1835 removed to Rushville, Rush County, Ind., where he was a medical practitioner of good standing. He died there in 1838. After his decease his wife, with her children, returned to Rutland, O., where she died. They had three children, viz. :

Lucinda, born 1831, who died aged twenty; Joseph, born 1833, who died in 1879; and Marion, who died in 1875.

There are no living descendants of this family. [1]

From census records we know that Emily was born in Vermont. At this time her parents are unknown.

Emily was married twice. Her first marriage was to Joseph T. Higley. This marriage ended in divorce; Joseph remarried Carolyn S. Gasen; he died 1860 and is buried in Rushville Indiana. Emily and Joseph had at least two children, Lucinda and Joseph.

Emily was 40 years old when she married again 22-MAR-1848, to Phineas Chapman Robinson. This was Phineas' 3rd marriage, his first wife and two young daughters died of cholera in 1839. His second wife died after only 5 years of marriage. Phineas had 5 surviving children (3 from his first marriage and 2 from his second). The 1850 census shows Phineas and Emily with five children from their previous marriages:
