According to Katharine Chapin Higgins' book, Joanna (or Anna) Mayo married Isaiah Higgins 17 April 1745. Isaiah Higgins resided at Eastham and Orleans; he served as an officer in the Revolution and was a fairly prominent figure in the area. No birth or death date is given for Joanna in the Higgins book, but she must have died prior to 1788 or 1789, when Isaiah Higgins filed marriage intention(s?) for subsequent marriage(s?). Seven children are listed for Isaiah Higgins and Joanna Mayo, of whom Aaron Higgins (b. 25 Mar 1754) was the third. Isaiah Higgins was the 2nd great grandson of the immigrant Richard Higgins of New Plymouth Colony. Guy I.
