Vol 46 (1915) of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, published an account of Richard Higgins' forbears. It named Edward Higgins and Julian Meals as his parents and his birth 1 Aug 1603.[1] This pedigree was repeated as one of two possibilities in Richard Higgins by Katharine Chapin Higgins.[2] In 1924 Katherine Higgins published a supplement to the first Book.[3] In it she states "The pedigree quoted from Mr. Monnette, although given out in good faith, is a fraudulent compilation." She goes on to explain why it was fraudulent. Included as part of the fraud was information from the notorious Gustav Anjou.[4]
