b. 1763
d. September 17, 1826, New York

Deborah Higgins is believed to be a descendant of Thomas Rogers of the Mayflower and his son Joseph. Their youngest son Elijah, in an interview with the genealogist George Sedgwick in April 1854, identified his mother as the dauaghter if Beriah Higgins and Desire Cooke. We don't have the source documentation to prove it. See this for more information.

Noel Sedgwick, son of Samuel Sedgwick and his second wife, apparently is the one who gave her name as Hannah Katherine Backer. However, baptismal records of the church at Kinderhook, New York, show the name to be "Catharina Bekker." Both Backer and Becker names are plentiful in the area at the time, so who knows which is her true name?
