Early life
Higbee was born in Tate, Ohio, as the son of Elias Higbee and Sarah Elizabeth Ward. He was the brother of Chauncey L. Higbee.
In 1830, Higbee moved to Fulton, Ohio.
Baptism
Higbee was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1832. In 1833, he moved to Jackson County, Missouri, and moved in 1835 to Kirtland, Ohio. The next year, he traveled back to Missouri.
In the aftermath of the 1838 Mormon War, Higbee was arraigned along with Smith, in Richmond, Missouri on November 11, 1838. He was released 18 days later.[2]
Conflict with Smith
On June 30, 1842, Higbee gave a sworn statement that "Joseph Smith told [him] that John C. Bennett could be easily put aside or drowned, and no person would be the wiser for it".[3]
On January 15, 1844, the Nauvoo Municipal Court issued a warrant for his arrest on the affidavit of Orson Pratt.[4]
According to History of the Church, Higbee was present at a meeting of dissenters on April 28, 1844.[5][6][7]
On May 1, 1844, Higbee filed a legal complaint in the Fifth Judicial District of Illinois, suing Smith for slander, with requested damages of five thousand dollars. Smith was killed before the legal suit was resolved.
