MARY, 1st known child of Richard Higgnins by his 2nd wife, was born at Eastham 27 September 1652. She married William Looker of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, and was supported as "a lame and distracted woman the wife of one Wm. Looker, late of Elizabeth Towne, brewer" by her mother and brother Eliakim Higgins. (Claims that she had an earlier husband who was a Bradford have no basis.)

Mary Oliver, according to her headstone was born in 1666, not 1652. It is now believed by researchers that she was not Mary Higgins after all. Her maiden name is unknown.
