I did locate the Kay Lundell records that Stephen Spicer referenced in his reply to my query...if those are the same records you have, then I will not need what you have...HOWEVER, if you have additional records, I would love to see them. My email address is shaslam100@yahoo.com.
The location of the sources for the information about Mary Daggett and Daniel Higgins are many...but mostly they come from ancestry.com records and the LDS Church records, including the pioneer records related to Daniel and Mary's son, Nelson Higgins, who became a Mormon pioneer. The records on him are extensive and, while I have not yet seen all of them, the records indicate that Daniel Higgins was Mary's first husband. I am still entering data...and hope to get to the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City in the next few weeks to see what other records they may have that will confirm the records I have found online. I know they have written family histories on Nelson Higgins and several other family members and I hope to get those as well as any other written records they may have that will tell a little more about this family.
I should mention that I am not a direct descendent to this line...I connect through marriage, but I am in contact with a direct Blackman family member and together we are trying to connect all of her Blackman notes to what is currently known about the Higgins and Daggetts. She is Sarah (Sally) Higgins Blackman's gr-gr-gr Granddaughter. Unfortunately, she has no real knowledge of her family history...and does not know how to do genealogy research. She is tracking down anything she can find on her family history and I am helping her with the genealogy research stuff.
I hope this answers the question you were asking. Please email me at my regular email address if you have any additional questions or if you want to further discuss this family. I am absolutely thrilled to find so many Daggett researchers who are willing to help with figuring out these issues...and I would love to find out anything more about these families.
Thank you very much for all of your help!
