Will of Isaac Higgin Merchant of Grove Cottage near Tooting Surrey 15/05/1832
On December 2, 1819, Isaac Higgin patented 300 acres of land in St. Ann. The land was surveyed by Weightman in 1820. (see Higman, page 25).
On March 13, 1815 he was commissioned as an Adjutant in the Horse Regiment of the St. Ann Militia (reported in the 1817 Almanac). He was still serving in that position in 1823 (reported in the 1824 Almanac).
The Jamaica Almanacs from 1821 through 1831 shown Isaac Higgin as the owner (or holder) of Cave Valley and other properties. His slave return for 1823 for Cave Valley reported 155 slaves. In that same year he and J. C. Pownall reported as "receivers in Chancery" for Mammee Bay Estate and Malvern Park Pen.
The 1833 Almanac (reporting 1832 returns) showns the "Estate of Issac Higgin" as owning properties, so Isaac was dead by March 1832.
Isaac married Margaret SYMS before Mar 1814. (Margaret SYMS was christened on 14 Mar 1795 in St. Ann, Jamaica.)
