Hi. I'm seeking information on Morris Higgins Jr. (my great-granduncle) and his wife, Mariah Braser. Morris was born in Ireland in 1840. His parents were Morris Higgins Sr. and Catherine Flanagan. Morris Sr. and Catherine emigrated to the U.S. in 1850 and settled in Moira, Franklin County, NY. In 1853 Catherine went back to Ireland and brought Morris Jr. and his brothers Cornelius and John to the U.S., and the family moved to Hudson, NY. Eventually they had 14 children.
Morris grew up in Hudson and worked as a "moulder" (which I think means stove moulder) and married Mariah Braser c. 1860. In the late 19th century the family moved to New York City. Their names appear on the 1900 NYC census. Morris and Mariah's children were: John Francis, Catherine (married Will Kennedy and had 5 kids: Isabel, Wilbur, John, Francis and Grace), Maurice III (married Margaret Gallagher and had two sons, Peter and Joseph), James (married Sarah, had 2 sons: James and William), Francis (married Agnes Walsh, had 3 kids: Leo, Gertrude and John), William Paul (married Maude Harsnet, had 3 kids: Genevieve, Catherine and Eugene), and Cornelius (seems not to have married). If anyone is connected to this family, I'd love to hear from you. Perhaps we can discuss trading copies of old photos, letters, and other family memorabilia. Thanks. -- Clare Higgins
