THOMAS LINCOLN OF TAUNTON AND JOSEPH KELLOGG OF HADLEY AND 144 RELATED
COLONIAL FAMILIES by Ruth Lincoln Kaye, 1973, Professional Printing
Co., Wash. D.C. - Appendix
Sir John Hicks (d 1492), said to have been a lineal descendant of Sir
Ellis Hicks, was knighted by Edward the Black Prince, son of King
Edward 2, in 1356, for bravery at Poitiers, for capturing the French
colors. Born in Fortunet, Gloucester, he married Joan Derney and died
the year Columbus discovered America.
A HISTORY OF THE HIGGES, or HIGGS FAMILY by William Miller Higgs,
F.S.G. pub. London, by Adlard & Son, Limited, 1933, p. 295 'The Higgs
Family of Gloucestershire' -
The Higgs Family of Cheltenham and Charlton Kings -
The ancient village (of Cheltenham) and fine town of the present day
might well be so designated, for the beautiful Cotswold Hills, rising
behind the place, shelter it from the north-east winds. These hills,
the watershed of the River Severn, are renowned for the fine breed of
sheep which bear this name, and from the earliest times have been the
home of the yeoman farmer and husbandman. It was in these hills that
early trives of Frisians are said to have settled in the fifth
century, about the same time as the Angles and Saxons came into
England.
A striking name of one of these tribes was 'Iggs', whilst another
similar in sound was that of the 'Hwiccas', and whilst we have no
proof, it requires not great stretch of imagination to conjecture a
possible origin of the patronymics Higgs and Hicks, both of which
families were settled in this locality at an early date. From their
likeness in sound the two patronymics have frequently become confused
and misspelt, though the families are generally conceded to be of
quite distinct origin. Among the earliest forms of the name of Higgs,
which before the sixteenth century was of double syllable, are Higgis,
Hyggys, Higges, Hegges, Heggys, Heghez, Hugges, etc., whilst the
patronymic of 'Hicks' is found as Hickes, Hyckes, Hykkes, Hykkas,
Hykkis, etc. Some authorities claim that 'Higgs' is derived from a
Saxon word meaning 'a wild ash tree', and that 'Hicks' comes from the
name 'Isaac.' The surname Heggs is found in Scandinavia a the present
time, and the origin of (copy not clear from here on out). It will be
remembered that the Higgs Family of South Stoke, Oxfordshire, are
stated to have been 'descended from a noble branch of the Higgs family
living near Gloucester...'
