    Notes 
    • David3 Higley lived in that part of Simsbury, Conn. known as "Turkey Hills", now East Granby.  After the death of his father and the removal of his mother to Windsor, he occupied the home place.  He was a man highly esteemed in his native town where he was surveyor of  highways, school committee man and a member of the church in the Turkey Hills parish. It is noted that in the races of men against horses from Salmon River (now Granby, Conn.) to Westfield, Mass. he was always the victor.
             If there was trouble with the Indians or a deer hunt it was David Higley who was called upon to take the lead.
             He died about 1790. [3]
