PREFACE.
Genealogy is so generally called useless, that the producers of gen-
ealogical books most always feel called upon to defend themselves. I
wish to state here simply my own opinions in the matter. T fully believe
that carelessness of the past almost always accompanies carelessness of
the future, and an interest in the past, thoughtfulness for the future.
To see the truth most plainly, compai-e the extremes of society. On the
one hand, the great body of criminals, who indulge in present pleasures
without a thought of the consequences to themselves or others — what
do or can they care for the memory of father and grandfather? On the
other hand — those whose aim it is to lead useful and noble lives, who
are ready to give up present pleasure for future advantage, who conduct
their daily actions with a view to future results — how can such fail to
have an interest in the causes which have preceded present results?
Only those who live for the present alone, and are careless of the inheri-
tance they leave their offspring, can consistently be indifferent to the
lives of the ancestors from whom they inherited their own characters.
To the question so often asked, "What good will it do?" I say, when I
speak plainly, "Make it personal." And when it is then asked, " What
good will it do 9rte .? " I reply, "If you take no more interest in it than
you do now, it will do you no good. Like everything else, no benefit
can be derived from it until it is appropriated. If you scoff at it, as
some others scoff at the sciences, music, and painting, you will gain no
more benefit from the one than they do from the other. But if you cul-
tivate the spirit of the antiquary, and study cause and effect in the past,
with a view to imitating the good and avoiding the bad, you will possess
yourself of one of the most ennobling influences that exists outside of
religion."
This volume I do not offer as a subject, but only as a means, of genealog-
ical study, chiefly for the benefit of those members of future generations
who may wish to take lessons from the past, who might be unable, had
not this work been done now, even to learn who their forefathers were.
To those who wish to reap the true benefits of genealogy, this book will
be (like a dictionary in other studies) but an aid to their search into the
inner lives of their forefathers.
b THE LIBBY FAMILY IN AlVIERICA.
My own interest in genealogy, although I am naturally inclined to
such things, did not become very manifest until the winter of 1878-9.
In a record book which my great-grandfather, Samnel Tompson, kept
of his doings as trial justice, was recorded an account of his de-
scent, through a long line of Harvard graduates and "Orthodox" cler-
gymen, from the original Tompson immigrant, the first minister of
Braiutree, Mass. This book came into my hands at the time mentioned,
and I conceived the idea of tracing all my ancestors back to their immi-
gration. I had heard of family trees, and thought to reverse it so as to
hold all my ancestors, who, of course, doubled in number each genera-
tion that I traced back. However, I found that the tree would not an-
swer the purpose very well, and finally conceived the " cai'twheel," a
number of concentric circles of which the inner was intended for my
own name; the next outer divided into two parts, for my parents; the
next into four, for my grandparents, and so on. I have since found that
this contrivance has been in use many years. In my own chart, when
made, I filled in the single pedigree then in ray possession, and at once
went to Avork, with the zeal that such a pastime always creates, to fill it
out. My mother's ancestorage had been thoroughly worked out by one
of her brothers, my father's mother was a daughter of Samuel Tompson,
Esq., mentioned above, and the only quarter of my chart in which my
research was original, was that belonging to the ancestors of my lineal
gi-andfather, Storer Libby. I traced his pedigree to his gi-eat-grandfather,
Lieut. Andrew Libby, and then came to a standstill. I despaired of ever
learning his parentage, and began to trace the generations of his descend-
ants, being all of the Libby family that I knew to be related to me. I
had not proceeded far, however, when I learned from a source unknown
before, that Lieut. Andrew Libby was a son of Matthew Libby, who was
a son of John Libby, the first of the name in this country, and from whom
I supposed all of the name descended. So I began to collect records of the
whole family, with the thought that I might some day publish them. In
July, 1879, shortly after ray graduation from the High School, I called at
the law office of Charles F. Libby, Es(i., of my own city, at that time a
stranger to me, and proposed that he should pay my expenses in visiting
the towns of Alfred, Me., and Exeter, IS". H., where are deposited the
probate recoi'ds, records of deeds, and court records, for the towns in
which the early generations of the family had resided ; and that I should
take special pains to trace his pedigree. Much to my satisfaction, and
somewhat to my surprise, (I was then not eighteen years old), Mr. Libby
accepted my proposition, and at his expense I spent several weeks in the
places named, and in visiting various aged members of the family. The
result of this search was the strong conviction that a few years would
make it impossible to trace the genealogy of the family, and the thought
of the family's becoming a great number of Individuals, impossible to
connect with their early ancestors and with each other, first suggested
^ PREFACE. 7
the idea of staying from college a year, and devoting my time to collect-
ing the records of the family. I trace thus fully the origin of the book
for the satisfaction of the curious.
The lack of records in the early generations, which is very obvious
when compared with genealogies of Massachusetts families, is a common
defect in Maine genealogies. No record of the birth or deatli of any
member of the family was made, so far as is now known, until after the
rise of the eighteenth century. No deaths, and only four births, oc-
curring in the seventeenth century, are found recorded.
A large portion of the family has been inclined to ask the question
alluded to above, " What good will it do?" and almost all of the errors
and omissions in the later generations are due to the carelessness or neg-
ligence of those immediately concerned. I hope the offspring of those
persons, when, in future years, they are vexed at these defects, will look
twice at this last sentence before attributing them to me.
Yet I by no means wish to complain of a lack of support. All mem-
bers of the family have given me what information they could when
called upon by me in person, and a large portion has replied, with more
or less promptness and care, to my inquiries by mail. I used an origi-
nal version of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood ballad, "If at first you
don't succeed, write, write again," and very few have per.sisted in
refusing my appeals. In a financial point of view, my support has been
still better. The family is so numerous, and so many of its members
have subscribed for the book, that there is the prospect of an anoma-
1 y — that of a family history, thoroughly prepared, paying not only its
cost, but fair compensation for the compiler's time. Those who have
contributed or subscribed twenty-five dollars and upward, are the follow-
ing:
Mr. Arthur A. Libby of Chicago, 111., $150.00
Charles F. Libby, Esq., of Portland, Me., .50.00
Mr. H. J. Libby of Portland, Me., 50.00
Dr. H. W. Libbey of Boston, Mass., 50.00
Mr. William P. Libby of Brooklyn, N. Y., * 50.00

Mr. James B. Libby of Portland, Me., 25.00
Mr. Augustus F. Libby of New York, N. Y., 25.00
Mr. John Henry Smith of Salt Lake City, Utah, 25.00
The spelling of the name has been a matter of constant vexation to me.
Starting with the intention of following the usual plan of spelling the
name of each individual as he himself spelt it, I was met at the outset by
the fact that many of the early generations left nothing to show how
they spelled their own names, and that many, in different documents,
spelled their names in different ways with seeming indifference. Also
8 THE LIBBY FAMILY IN AMERICA.
in the later generations, and especially in the present day, the most un-
warranted freedom has been used in adopting whatever spelling strikes
the individual fancy. Many are so careless as not to adopt any particu-
lar spelling, and use one one year, and another the next, while frequent-
ly, in writing t) me, persons have spelled their name in two ways in one
letter. To have carried out my original plan would have demanded an
almost endless amount of search and inquiry, and the result, to a great
extent, must have consisted of guess-work. I have, therefore, used the
true spelling of the name throughout the book, giving in the introduc-
tion such an account as I can of the general drift of the spelling in the
different families and localities.
The method of numbering grew out of my manner of arranging the
records during the compilation. The same method may have been
xised by others, but not to my knowledge. I am aware that in introduc-
ing an unusual method I lay myself open to criticism, and I fear that I
shall be most severely criticised by those who take the least troulde to
master the plan. To myself its only disadvantage is that a special number
cannot be found quite so readily as in some other methods, but it affords
many satisfactions which they do not. I believe that all who make
themselves familiar with it will find it equally satisfactory. It has the
further advantage of saving fully one-tenth part of the space, which, in a
book of this sort, is an important feature.
The system of indexing the christian names of the family, giving the
place of residence, and the blank form for family records, have never
been used before so far as I know. My purpose in forming the index
was to make it jjossible for the most casual acquaintance to find readily
any one of the family, at the same time preserving economy of space.
By this method, all, or nearly all the family are so distinguished in the
index that anyone can readily recognize in the index itself the name he
is in search of. It is recommended that in keeping the family rec-
ords in the blank forms, the system of numbering be continued,
and that greater pains be taken in the future than has been in the
past, to keep an absolutely complete record of all births, marriages,
and deaths.
The gratitude of all that derive any satisfaction from this book is due to
Charles F. Libby, Esq.,* of this city. It was he that gave me my first en-
couragement; it was he that paid my expenses during my first extended
searches ; it was to him that I first mentioned my project of a book, and
he first suggested a method of raising funds; it was from him and
from others at his personal solicitation that the funds were obtained
to pay for the researches in England ; and, finally, it was he that lent
me his name in the contract with the printers, when I, being a minor
under guardianship, would have been put to some trouble to per-
*At this last moment, I have the pleasure of adding to Mr. Libby's record his nomina-
tion by the Republicans for Mayor of Foreland. It is conceded by his opponents that he

feet the contract otherwise. Throughout the work his large influence
has been cast in my favor, and has done much to render the work a
financial success. Without his encouragement I should never have un-
dertaken it. But while Mr. Libby is so intimately connected with the
history of the book, it is due him to say that he has had nothing what-
ever to do with the compilation, arranging, and printing, and that all mis-
takes of judgment and execution in those particulars are chargeable
to myself alone. His action in the matter merits a faultless production,
which I can only regret this falls so far short of being.
I have to acknowledge the assistance of Mrs. Ma'ry B. L Dowst of
Epsom, N. H., Mr. P. Rand Libby of Gilford, N. H., Mr. Henry A Lib-
bey of Machiasport, Me., Mr. Alonzo S. Libbey of Berlin, Yt., Mr. Charles
Libby of Berwick, Me., Mr. Henry F. Libby of Pittsfield, Me., Mr Wm
P. Libby of Brooklyn, N. Y., Mrs. Jane S. Osgood, and others to a great-
er number than I can mention, for special assistance in their own branch-
es, and m some cases in other branches of the family. My work in Rye
K H., was materially lightened by research made while in college by
Mr. Jonas M. Libl?ey of New York. The persons who have furnished me
the most valuable traditional lore are Mrs. Laura McKemiey of Gorham
Rev. Peter Libby of Buxton, and the Misses Eunice and Lois Libby of
Scarborough. I was much aided by a quite complete genealogy of the
families in Kittery, now Eliot, prepared by Mr. William Fogg, and now
in possession of Dr. John S. H. Fogg of South Boston, who kindly fur-
nished me a copy of it. William M. Sargent, Esq., and Mr. S. M. Wat-
son, Librarian of the Public Library, kindly allowed me the use of their
copies of the Scarborough records; the former first called my attention
to the petition given on page 24, and the latter gave me valuable assist-
ance m his position as librarian. I have gained assistance from the col-
lections of the Hon. Joseph Dow of Hampton, N. H., the Hon. Thomas
Moulton of Porter, Me., Mr. Thomas J. Parsons of Rye, K H., and the
Rev. A. H. Quint of Dover, N. H., and have copied freely from all pub-
lished matter. It is a pleasure to me to testify to the almost universal
courtesy I have received at the hands of the custodians of records,
both -public and private, to which I have had need to refer.
_ The portraits have nearly all been furnished at my personal solicita-
tion, and in most cases the expense has been borne wholly by those most
nearly interested.
In closing I must express my indebtedness to the printers, Messrs. B.
Thurston & Co. Besides the mechanical execution of the work, which
will speak for itself, they have corrected a great many defects in the
copy, resulting from my inexperience and other causes, and have re-
sponded nobly to the unusual call made upon them in printing a work
for so poorly qualified a writer.

EXPLANATIONS.
The NUMBERS used here take the place of what is usually given in words
in two lines for each head of a family; it follows that no intelligent use of
this book can be made without first mastering the system of numbering.
The method may be simply stated as follows:
1 The immigrant has no number.
2 The number of each child of the immigrant is the figure which rep-
resents his position in the family. — First child, 1 ; second child, 2, etc.
3 The number of each member of the following generations is formed
by adding to his father's number the number representing his own position
among his father's children. The immigrant' s oldest child's oldest child is
1-1 ; and his second child, 1-2. The immigrant' s ffth child's oldest child is
5-1 ; and his second, 5-2, etc. The numbers of the later generations are
formed in the same way.
To illustrate by the compiler's own pedigree: On page 25 it will be
seen that Matthew Libby was the immigrant's elev^enth son. Turning
over to the second generation, there will be found in large figures in the
middle of the page, the number 11, and under that number will be found
an accovint of Matthew Libby, and a list of his children. It will be seen
that his seventh child was Andrew Libby, and his number must be 11-7.
Turning to the third generation, there will be found on page 52 the num-
ber 11-7, in the middle of the page as before, and under it an account of
Andrew Libby, and a list of his children. The second child was
Joshua Libby, and, in the fourth generation, his name will be found, on
page 90, under the number 11-7-2. An account of Joshua Libby's fourth
son, Matthias, with a list of his children, will be found in the fifth gener-
ation, under his proper number, 11-7-2-4, on page 192. Matthias Libby's
eighth child, Storer Libby, the compiler's grandfather, will be found in
the next generation, on page 412, under his number, 11-7-2-4-8, and in that
place will be found an account of all his children and grandchildren except
the family of the eldest son, who, having grandchildren of his own, is
carried forwarid to the next generation. And so with the other branches
of the family. Any member of the family who does not know his pedi-
gree, will have first to find his own name, by means of the index, and
then, having learned his number, can trace his line either backward,
14
THE LIBBY FAINHLY IN AMERICA.
or, as above, downward. Beside this use of tracing backward and for-
ward, which is all that numbers are usually used for, the numbers in
this case afford other information, as follows :
First. Each number shows the generation of the person to which it
belongs. The number of numbers in the number of each individual is
one less than the number of his generation. Thus Matthew Libby, 11, is
of the second generation; Andrew Libby, 11-7, is of the third generation;
Joshua Libby, 11-7-2, is of the fourth generation, and so on.
Second. The number of any individual shows the number of each one
of his ancestors. Thus, from the number of Storer Libby, 11-7-2-4-8, it is
evident that his father was 11-7-2-4; his grandfather, 11-7-2; his great-
grandfather, 11-7; his great-great-grandfather, 11; and his great-great-
great-grandfather, the immigrant. So, knowing the number of any indi-
vidual, it is possible to turn directly to his ancestor in any generation.
Third. The number of eacli individual shows his relation, either to
the persons whose records precede or follow, or to any otlier person
whose kinship it is desired to trace. For instance, where two members
of the family intermarry, the relationship between them can be at once
learned from their numbers. The following table will illustrate.

Fourth. Each branch of the family is distinguished from the others
by the numbers. Thus the numbers of all the offspring of Henry liibby
of Scarborough begin with 5. All the numbers of the offspring of his
son, Lieut. Samuel Libby, begin with 5-2. All the descendants of the
first Nathaniel Libby of Berwick begin their numbers with 11-9. All the
offspring of Dea. Joshua Libby of Scarborough begin their numbers
with 11-7-2. And so of each branch of the family.
INTRODUCTION.
IN ENGLAND.
The Libby family is unquestionably of humble origin. The earliest
mention of the name that has been found is in the herald's visitation of
Oxfordshire for 1574. It there appears that, "Richard Libbe of Taston,
in Coun. Devon, Gent., marryed Bridgett daughter and one of the heirs
of Justice of Readinge in County Berk., Gent., and by her
had yssue Richard, Mary, married to Robert Fitche of Hasley in Coun.
Warv. and Elizabeth manned to Mnian Coxon, Cittizen of London." The
son Richard married Joane, daughter of John Corker of Checkenden in
Oxfordshire, and settled in that place. He was a young man when the
visitation of 1574 was made. This family was afterward "long settled at
Whitechurch in Oxfordshire, where they were lords of the manor of
Hardwick." Its pedigree has been worked out very thoroughly by Col-
Joseph L. Chester, ll.d., d.c.l., and it is cei'tainthat the American fam-
ily did not spring from that source. The family is mentioned for the
reason that it was the only one that belonged to the landed gentry in early
times, and the pre-eminence of this family seems to have dated only from
the marriage of the first Richard Libbe with the daughter of a justice.
Had the grandfather of Richard Libbe of Checkenden been of the same
social rank as himself, he would not have begun his pedigree with his
own father.
The name seems to have belonged either in Cornwall or Devon. The
Oxfordshire family, the earliest, as has been said, of which mention is
found, evidently sprang from the latter county. According to Col.
Chester, the only wills of the name, deposited at London, beside those
of the Oxfordshire family, are those of William Libbye and Henry
Libby, proved in 1653 and 1655, and both of these men belonged in Corn-
wall, where the name still abounds. The simple circumstances of the
emigration of the originator of the American family make it supposable
that he came from the neighborhood of Devon or Cornwall. The tradi-
tion among his descendants is also that he was from the "West of Eng-
land. These, with other less important circumstances, render it reason-
ably certain that the family belonged either in East Cornwall or West
Devon. Whether it is of Saxon or Welch origin, or whether (as is not like-
ly) it springs from some French immigrant that crossed over to engage
in tin mining or the fisheries, will probably never be more than a matter
of conjecture.
16 THE LIBBY FAMILY IN AMERICA.
CHARACTERISTICS.
"Of the people" from the start, the family has retained in a very re-
markable degree, the position which it held when it first emerged from
the mists of early times. With scarcely any exception, its members have
been strikingly devoid of ambition for power, place, and wealth. Con-
tented with the enjoyment of present happiness, they have willingly
obeyed the instruction, "be not anxious for the morrow;" and have
been firm believers in the doctrine that " sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof." Avoiding the responsibilities, rather than seeking the
honor of public office, they have been satisfied with the happiness of
their own homes, and with but few exceptions each person has been
known only in his own locality. Inclining to manual, rather than mental
labor, they have seldom gained more than the rudiments of education, so
that even now our colleges show but few graduates of the name, and
most of those in late years. As will be seen, the story of almost every
individual of the family is but one of quiet effort to make for himself a
home. The daily wants supplied, nothing further is desired. It is in-
deed remarkable that in so numerous a family there is no person of na-
tional fame, no one who has figured largely in history, no one who has
won renown in letters, nor in the arts.
Yet, as a family, they have been largely respected by their neighbors
as men of sterling worth, and uprightness and honesty of character.
They have generally belonged to that law-abiding class Avhich forms the
bone and muscle of a nation, coutent to render the wise efforts of others
effective by its heax'ty support, and willing to concede all the glory to
the leader. The family numbers its Revolutionary .soldiers by scores,
and many hundreds risked their lives for their country in the late
war. In Maine alone there were two hundred and fifty-six en-
listments. They are, as a family, very devout, and have figured
much more largely in the religious than in the civil institutions of the
communities in which they have lived. The family has abounded in
Christian ministers, elders, and deacons, while generation after genera-
tion has died in the faith. There are of course black sheep in every
flock, and in this as others, but so few have been the criminals, and so
generally have the helpless ones been supported by their own relatives,
that even in Maine, where the family is so numerous as to rank with the
Smiths and Browns, it has been remarked by many to the compiler of
this volume, that they never knew of a criminal nor a pauper named
Libby.
SPELLIXG OF THE NAME. "*
As written by strangers, the manners of spelling the name have been
almost endless ; but the methods that have been used by the members
themselves of the American family are thought to be only the following:
Libby Libbie Lebbey
Libbey Libbe Lebbee
Libbee Lebby Lebbe
INTRODUCTION. 17
Those which exist to-day are :
Libby Libbee Lebby
Libbey Libbie
The immigrant has left no original signature, and it cannot be known
for certainty how he spelled his own name. Probably the best authority
is John Winter, who came from the same part of England as himself.
He spelled it Libby, which spelling was early in use in England, and now
is, and has long been, the only form used. Of the other forms that have
been used in this country, the only one ever used in England is Libbe.
Hence, of the spellings now in use, the only one that has continental pre-
cedence is Libby.
Of the immigrant's eight sons, two left no signatures; three, reared in
the midst of Indian wars, never learned to write ; and, of the other three,
John spelled his name Libby, and Henry and Anthony used Libbe.
Among the grandsons the spelling assumed more varieties than it has
ever had since. Up to 1750, the family was chiefly confined to Scarborough,
Falmouth, Kittery, (now Eliot), and Berwick, Me. ; and to Portsmouth,
Rye, Epsom, and Dover, N. H. On either side of the Piscataqua River,
including Portsmouth, Kittery, Berwick and Dover, the ending ey came
early into use. For a long time the vowels i and e were almost indis-
criminately used in the first syllable, but, by 1750, the spelling Libbey be-
came the standard one. Isaac Libby, who was reared in Portsmouth,
but lived afterward in Rochester, used Lebby. In Scarborough and Fal-
mouth, the most general spelling used by the best educated members of
the family, was Libbee. The final y, however, was always used by those
who went from Portsmouth to Scarborough, and it was generally spelled
by them Libby, but sometimes Libbey. In Rye, on the other side of the
"Libbey" towns, and in Epsom, which was settled by Rye families, the
standard spelling was Libbee, although Libbe occurred occasionally at
first. The following table gives a substantially correct account of the
various spelling:

18 THE LIB BY FAMILY IN AMERICA.
In Scarborough, more than a hundred years ago, the spelling Libby
was universally adopted, and has continued since. From Scarborough
that spelling has spread almost everywhere, and is now used by nearly
the whole family.
The only families that left Scarborough before the adoption of the
spelling Libby were those that settled in Machias, and spread from that
place into neighboring towns. In those towns the spelling Libbee was
continued until the present centuiy, and then Libby was generally adopt-
ed, although some of that family now use Libbey. As a rule it may be
said that all the Maine Libbys use the spelling Libby. In Portsmouth
and Dover, and the families springing from those places, the spelling
Libbey has, for the most part, continued.
The spelling Xi66e?/ has been generally continued in Eliot, (formerly
Kittery), and Berwick, but some individuals use Libby. The Sanford,
Lebanon, and Milton branches of the Berwick family generally adhere to
the former spelling, while the Tuftonborough family uses Libby. The Saco
branch of the Eliot family generally uses Libby, but in the branch of the
Saco family that settled in Limington Libbey occurs. The branches of
the Berwick and Eliot families that settled in Newfield, Limerick, and
Shapleigh, use Libby. The Durham and Rochester branches of the Eliot
family use Libbey.
In Rye, and the towns in which the Rye family settled, the spelling
Libbee was used almost exclusively until the present century. In Ep-
som, Candia, Chester, New Durham, Wolfborough, Chichester, Canter-
bury, N. II., Strafford, Vt., and most all places in New Hampshire and
Vermont, the spelling 7^i66e?/ has gradually been adopted; but in some
cases the spelling Libbee has been retained, which in one case has been
varied to Libbie. The branch of the Rye family that settled in Gilford,
N. H., and the many families that settled in the state of Maine, all adopt-
ed Libby. The New Brunswick branch of the family uses sometimes
Libby and sometimes Libbey.
While these facts cover tlie general drift which the spelling hns taken,
yet many individuals have changed from one mode to another for no
reason but their own fancy. While it is a questionable step to depart
from the mode of spelling used by one's immediate ancestors, yet it is
gratifying to notice that most of the changes now made are changes not
from, but to the true spelling. Doubtless fifty names would now include
all who spell their names other than Libby and Libbey, and the latter is
used by probably not more than one-tenth part of the family.
INTER-MAKRIAGE.
A notable feature of the family has been the frequency of inter-mar-
riage. Ten of the immigrant's grandchildren married their ovm blood,
and the same tendency has continued ever since. There is now but a
small portion of the family that has only one descent from the immi-

THE LIBBY FAMILY
IN AMERICA
THE IMMIGRANT.
MaijSte was settled chiefly through speculative enterprises of
English merchants. They sent yearly many vessels to fish on her
coast, and established trading houses at convenient jioints to sup-
ply the wants of their fishermen and to obtain furs from the In-
dians. One of those stations was located on Richmond's Island,
a small island on the coast of Cumberland county, distant about
one mile from the coast of Cape Elizabeth. There had been one
Walter Bagnall there, trading with the Indians; but he had dealt
unjustly with them and they had murdered him. In 1631 Robert
Trelawny and Moses Goodyeare, of Plymouth, Devonshire Coun-
ty, England, procured a patent which included that island, and
soon after established a trading post, with John Winter as their
agent. In John Winter's employ first appears he, the genera-
tions of whose descendants this volume records.
John Libby was born in England about the year 1602. In July,
1677, he stated that, "the good and pieous report that was spread
abroad, into our Native Land of this country, caused your Peti-
tioner to come for this Land 47 yeares agoe, where he hath ever
since Continued." According to this, the year of his immigration
was 1630; but "47 yeares" was probably a slight exaggeration.
The " good and pieous report" was doiibtless set afloat by Tre-
lawny in his efforts to obtain men to carry on his fisheries, and
there can be little doubt that John Libby was sent over by him.
In Winter's report to Trelawny of his management of tlie sta-
tion for tlie year ending 15 July 1639, occurs the following ac-
count :*

From this we gather that John Libby was in tlic employ of
Trelawny four years, — from the summer of 1635 until the summer
of 1639, — and that during that time a large part of his earnings
was paid for him in England. This was doubtless for the sup-
port of the wife whom lie had left behind him; and ])robably in
164U he sent for her, and took up his j)ermanent abode on the
neighboring main land, on the possessions of Thomas Cammock,
the patentee of Black Point.
A few miles west of Richmond's Island, formed by the little
river now called Nonesucli, on the west, and a still smaller stream,
since dignified by the name Libby River, on the southeast, was
a low neck of land. Broad acres of salt marsli — ready hay-fields —
reached away to the southwest, to wliere the two streams united
with each other and with a tliird, forming a sheltered bay, and
then flowing out over a sand-bar into the ocean. On tliat neck,
close to the marsh of the stream that bears his name, in what is
now the town of Scarborough, John Libby luiilt his house. The
land which he selected was afterward laid out to him by Henry
Jocelyn, (who had come into possession of the Cammock patent),
and for many years he doubtless occupied it as his tenant. Dur-
ing those years much of his time Avas probably devoted to fishing,
but as his land gradually became more productive, he doubtless
depended less ui)on the sea, and apijlied himself exclusively to the
tilling of the soil.
1 Jan. 1663, by a document in which he was described as a
"plantei-," he received from Jocelyn, "a certain tract of land
bounded as followeth, vise, the Marsh to begine at the next cricke
to y* Eastw\ard of the sayd Libby's coman landing place, and from
thence to his dwelling house, according as his fence goetli, & was

in consideration of him his heirs, administrators, and assigns,
"Yielding & j^aying unto the sayd Henery Jocelyn his heyres &
Assignes for every fivety acers of Upland & Meddow annually
three days worke forever, that is to say two days worke in harvest,
or foode tyme, & one day in cutting of wood, against the feast
of Christ tyde, if it bee lawfully demanded."
From the time of his six weeks work for Winter, between June
1642 and June 1643, until the above transfer, his name occurs
only once in existing records. 14 April 1661, he was one of the
ap])raisers of the estate of Andrew Heffers.
John Libby was (to use the words of the History of Scarbo-
rough) "for many years one of the town's principal planters";
but he took no part in the affairs of the province, and little, so far
as is known,* in the management of the town. It incidentally
appears, however, that he was constable in 1664, and his name
stands first of the four selectmen in a town grant ])earing date
1669. His name, except as constable, does not appear at all in the
provincial coui't records, and tliat at a period when quarrels and
litigations were the order of the day, and indictments were issued
for the most trivial offences, and on most questionable testimony.
That in point of morality he took a stand far above his class, is
very evident from a comparison between his accounts while on
Richmond's Island and those of his fellow fishermen. Whereas
most of them spent their entire wages for spirits and tobacco, he
used no tobacco and very little intoxicating drink of any sort ;
while nearly all of what he did use was wine. He seems to have
l^racticed that quiet, correct, peaceful mode of life which has
always characterized his descendants.
In Philip's war, in which were devastated all the more exposed
settlements of Maine, John Libby suffered in common with the
other inhabitants. He lost everything he had except his ])Ianta-
tion. In the late summer of 1675, hostile Indians began to a]»penr
at Black Point, shooting cattle, etc. Those of the hihabitants
*The existing town records of Scarborough date back so as to iuclude only the decliuing
years of his life.
24 THE LIBBY FAMILY IN AMEHICA.
who lived at any distance from the garrison (and among tliem
John Libby) were compelled to leave their habitations for the
safer abode. Their crops had to be gathered under the protection
of soldiei-s who went from Boston. The burning of John Libby's
liouse was recorded in the diary of Capt. Joshua Scottow, who
had charge of the Boston soldiers, as follows : "Sept. 7th, 1675.
Being Lord's day * the enemy before of their
desig-ns early in the morning burnt those houses and barnes our
Capne saved the day before — they burnt also 8 or 9 deserted
houses belonging to Libby and children."
In October, 1G76, Black Point garrison was deserted, and most
of the inhabitants fled to Boston. The able-bodied men returned
soon after and again took possession of the garrison, which the
Indians, contrary to their custom, had left unburnt. Probably
the women and children did not return until the close of the war ;
at any rate, John LiV:)by with his wife and younger children were
in Boston 10 July 1677, and on that date petitioned the Governor
and Council there assembled, that his sons Henry and Anthony,
on whom he stated he was dependent for support, might be dis-
charged from the Black Point garrison. The petition was granted
the same day.f
He returned to Black Point probably very soon after. There
Avas no serious trouble there subsequent to June 1677, and 12 Apr.
1678 terms of jieace were finally ratified. In a short time Black
Point liad regained something of its former pi'osperity and in the
few remaining years of his life, John Libby acquired a comforta-
ble property. He died at about eighty years of age. In his will,
dated 9 Feb. 1682, he gave "unto my [his] Children five Shillings

ventory :

That John Libby had two wives is certain. Of the first, noth-
ing is known but that she was the mother of all his sons exce])t
Matthew and Daniel, and probably all his daughters. Of tlie
second there is nothing known but her christian name, which ap-
pears from the mention in bounding a town grant, 1 May 1686,
of " Mary Libby's marshes." How long Mary Libby outlived her
husband is uncertain ; but she probably lived to be again driven
from her home by the Indians, as no attempt was made to settle
her estate. 6 Apr. 1720, a warrant was issued to Captain John
Libby, 1-1, to administer upon his grandfather' s estate ; the Avill
being either forgotten or set aside. The inventory mentioned
only the real estate at Black Point — 100 acres of upland, 9 acres
of fresh meadow, and 100 acres of salt marsh.
The childrenf of John Libby, probably all born in this country
except the eldest, were :
1 John, b. 1636; m. Agnes .
2 James. I These both lost their lives in Philip's war; unmarried.
3 Samuel. ) One was killed at Black Point in the spring of 1677;
the other was taken sick in the garrison, carried to Boston,
and there died 9 July 1677.
4 Joanna, m. Thomas Bickford of Black Point. His father lived at
Dover, N. H., and in the second Indian war his family removed
from Scarborough to that place.
5 Henry, b. 1647; m. Honor Hinkson of Scarborough.
6 Anthony, b. about 1649; m. Sarah Drake of Hampton, K H.
7 Bebecca, married Joshua Brown of Scarborough.
8 Sarah, b. 1653; m. Robert Tidy of Scarboi'ough.
9 Hannah, married Daniel Fogg of Scarborough.
10 David, b. 1657 ; m. Eleanor .
11 Matthew, b. 1663; m. Elizabeth Brown of Scarborough.
12 Daniel, m. Mary Ashton of Scarborough.
*Thirty -seven years later these lands alone were apprized at £139^.
tFrom tlie fact that a number of his children, or their heirs, quitclaimed to other par-
ties one-thirteenth part of his property each, it seems that he left twelve children— prob-
ably two more daughters whose names do not appear. The four wliose names are given
were discovered, not by direct search, but casually; in the same way the others may
some day come to light.
SECOND GENERATION.
JoHi^- LiBBY, horn probably in England, in the year 1636 ; mar-
ried Agnes .
He was reared in Scarhorough. In August 1668, which was
probably soon after his marriage, he bought fifty acres of land ad-
joining his father's plantation. This was no doubt his residence
while he lived at Black Point, although he afterward received
several grants from the town. He took quite an active part in the
public matters of the town, and served as selectman in the years
1070, 1674, 1683, and 1687.
The settlement at Black Point was still in rather poor condi-
tion, when the Indians, instigated by the French, again began to ,
distui'b the quiet of the settlers all along the coast of Maine, and
became more and more aggressive until May 1690, when Fort
Loyal, on Casco Neck, a few miles north of Black Point, was at-
tacked by a large body of Indians with their French allies. Af-
ter a siege of five days, the fort was surrendered, and the inhabi-
tants of Scarborough, without waiting to be attacked themselves,
immediately deserted their homes and fled to safer localities.
John Libby with his whole family fled to Portsmouth, N. H.
His youngest son, Jeremiah, was then ten months old. In Ports-
mouth, where he lived until his death, he followed the calling of
miller, and during the earlier years of his residence there, was fre-
quently chosen to fill the minor town offices. He lived to very
old age; how old, is not known, but as late as 1719-20 he made a
deposition about early Scarborough matters. He probably died
soon after. His wife* was living in March 1717, but probably
died before her husband.
Their children! were all born in Scarborough.
*Slie was probably not a Scarborough woman. In a joint deposition of herself and hus-
band, taken 15 Mar. 1717, her husband testified that one Joseph Winnock had lived at
Black Point between sixty and serenty years before, but she limited her testimony to p'fty
years. It would seem that her recollection of Winnock reached back only to the tinie of
her marriage.
tNo list of John Libby's children appears. He disposed of his property before his
death, deeding his real estate to his sons John and Daniel. That the others were his sons,
there is no p'^sitire proof ; but there are many circumstances which might be said to prove
it to all practical purposes, and there is nothmy which would tend in the least degree to
disprove it. All but Benjamin lirst appeared in Portsmouth, and among the descendants
THE SECOND GENERATION. 27
Children :
1 John, married Eleanor Kirke.
2 Joseph, married Rebecca
Samuel, married Sarah Wells.
4 James, married Mary Hanson.
5 Daniel, married Elizabeth Kirke.
6 Benjamin, b. 4 June 1682 ; m. Sarah Stone.
7 Jeremiah, b. 1689 ; married Lydia Badger.
Henet Libbt, born in Scarborough, in the year 1647; married
Honor Hinkson, daughter of Peter Hinkson,* whose plantation
joined his father's.
He was selectman of Scarborough in 1686. In 1690 he fled,
with his father-in-law, to Lynn, Mass. He was one of the com-
pany which first attempted to re-settle their possessions. Tradi-
tion says that they came from Lynn in a sloop, and built a garri-
son on Front's Neck, which they successfully defended from a
force of five hundred French and Lidians.
Henry Libby and his sons wei-e all present at the first town
meeting, in 1720. With one John Boden, he was chosen to go
and show the old highways to the selectmen. In September, 1728,
at the age of 81, he became a member of the Congregational
church at Black Foint, which had just been organized under the
pastoral charge of the Rev. William Tompson.
His house stood on the lot which was recently added to the
south side of the Black Foint burying-ground, and was afterward
occupied by his eldest son. He died 21 Oct. 1732. His wife
died, 24 Aug. 1724, aged sixty.
Children :
1 Mary, m. 13 Jan. 1715, at Marblehead, Mass., Richard Webber.
2 Samuel, b. 6 July 1689 ; m. Abigail Meserve and Mary Jones.
3 Sarah, died in Scarborough, 1 Mar. 1723.
4 James, married 16 Mar. 1738, Abigail Larrabee. His name scarce-
ly appears except in deeding away what property he inherited
from his father and mother. The baptisms of the following chil-
dren occur:
of Benjamin the tradition is that he went to Berwick (where the records first show him)
from Portsmouth. 14 June 1712, Capt John Libliy, 1-1, bought from the widow of his
brother Daniel, and of Samuel Libby's widow, the rights of their husbands in tlie town
couuuons. James and Jeremiah were both at Scarborough at the first town-meeting after
tlie re-settlement of the town, in 1720, and both received town grants as their rights.. Jer-
emiah's name occurs several times as a witness to documents executed by Jolin,l, and
John, 1-1. Benjamin had a son Joseph, and Joseph had a son Benjamin. Benjamin had
also Agnes, Daniel, and Jeremiah. John had a son James ; and James, a son John. Dan-
iel had a son Samuel, and Samuel, it is thought, a son Daniel. Jeremiah had a son John.
Altogether, in the absence of posifirc proof, more convincing evidence that those seven
were John Libby's sons could hardly be expected. What daughters he had will probably
never be known.
*Philip and Peter Hinkson, probably brothers, were from Hobberton, (or Heberton),
Devon.shire County. England. Philip emigrated first, and settled at Saco. His widow,
>Iargaret, married George Taylor of Black Point. She had two children by her first hus-
band, Sarah and Meribah, both under age in 1G62. In that year, Peter, who had not then
left England, received a power of attorney to let a tenement in Heberton, which had
fallen by inheritance to Philip. Within a year or two Peter came to «lack Point, wliere
he was one of the principal inhabitants until the second Indian war, when he removed
to Lynn, Mass. He had children, Peter, Simon, Honor, and perhaps others.

Anthony Libby was a carpenter. He lived in his native town
until some years after Philip's war. In May, 1681, he was one
of a committee chosen to purchase timber for building a "fort ",
Scottow^'s garrison. In November following, he was taxed for 50
acres of land, 6 acres of marsh, 1 cow, 2 hogs, and 1 mare. , In
the first part of 1682, he moved to Falmouth. There he found
his wife, who was a sister of the wife of Anthony Brackett of
that place. In 1685, he removed to her native town of Hampton,
and settled in the northeast part of that town, subsequently set
off to Rye. His wife died 12 June 1716. He married second, 6
Jan. 1717-18, Jane Rackley of Portsmouth, and lived only a few
weeks.
His will was as follows :

Hannah Libby, born in Scarborough, about 1655; married
Daniel Fogg. He was a son of Samuel Fogg, of Hamjjton, N.
H., sup])Osed to have come from Wales.
Daniel Fogg learned the blacksmith's trade, and settled at
THE SECOND GENERATION. 31
Black Point as early as 1681. At the breaking up of the settle-
ment in 1690, he removed to Portsmouth, and about ten years
later to Kittery, now Eliot, Me. There he died, in 1755, having
outlived his wife many years.

9 James (Fogg), b. 17 Mar. 1704; m. Elizabeth Fernald.
10
David Libbt, born in Scarborough, in the year 1657; mar-
ried Eleanor .
From the town records it appears that, 11 Feb, 1681, he and
four others were chosen to renew the bounds between Casco (af-
terward Falmouth, and now Cape Elizabeth) and Scarborough, and
that he received several town grants.
When the town was deserted in 1690, he went to Portsmouth,
where he lived about ten years. In December, 1699, he, his broth-
er Matthew, his brother-in-law Daniel Fogg, Joseph Hammond
and Stephen Tobey, the first three being then of Portsmouth and
the others of Kittery, bought what was known as the Knowles
purchase. It was in that part of Kittery which is now Eliot. It
fronted on the Piscataqua river, at the " Long Reach," about
three-fourths of a mile, and stretched back into the town a long
distance. The following spring they divided it lengthwise, so
that each had a fronting on the river. Hammond had the north-
west portion, Fogg the next, Matthew Libby the next, David
Libby the next, and Tobey the southeast lot.
The division line between the jDortions of David Libby and his
brother passed over a joiece of rising ground since known as Lib-
by Hill. On this hill, within a few rods of each other, they built
their houses. They laid out a lane between their lands, reaching
way from the river to their northeast boundary ; portions of this
lane are still open. David Libby built his house, a two-storied
one, on the site of the present residence of Moses Libby, 10-7-1-
3-8. It remained until after the death, in 1807, of his great-
grandson, Joel Libby, the father of Moses. In that house David
Libby lived the rest of his life, a well-to-do farmer.
In his will, dated 6 May 1725, he provided for his Avife, and
left his homestead to his son Ephraim. To David he gave twen-
ty acres of land on the northeast of, and adjoining, the county

road ; to Solomon he o-ave a two-acre house lot on the southwest
side of the road; to John he had already Q:iven, by deed, his
Scarborough lands. He probably died in 1736, for in December
of that year his will was proved. The amount of the inventory
"was £1329, 5s. He was buried on his own farm, and with him
now lie five generations of his descendants.
His children were :
1 David, m. Esther Hanscom.
2 Samuel, ra. Mary Libby, 11-3.
3 Mary, m. 12 April 1722, Joseph Small.*
4 Solomon, m. Martha Hanscom.
5 John, ra. Sarah Libby. 11-8.
6 Elizabeth, m. Sept. 1738, Edward Cloudman, of Biddeford. She
was probably also a party in the following mai'riage, recorded in
the Biddeford town records : Abraham Townsend and Elizabeth
Libbe, both of Biddeford, married 17 Nov. 1743.
7 Epliraim, b. 2 Feb. 1702, in Kittery; m. Mary Ambler.
8 Eleanor, b. 21 June 1705, in Kittery; m. 1st, Zebulon Trickey; 2d,

Matthew Libby, born in Scarborough, in the year 1663 ; mar-
ried Elizabeth Brown, daughter of Andi'ew Brown, one of the
principal inhabitants of Black Point.
As has been already told, he went to Portsmouth in 1690, and
*Francis Rmali? seems to have been the ancestor of a great portion of the Smalls, and
Smalleys, of New England. He was born 1627. It is probable that he was a son of " Mr."
Edward Smale, who was of Kittery as early as 1640, and in 164.5 had commission as magis-
trate ; of whose family nothing appears. Francis Smale first appeared at Dover, 1648 ;
was of Falmouth 16.57 and 1663 ; of Kittery 1668, where he spent the chief part of his life ;
in old agfi removed to Truro, Cape Cod. wliere he died about 1714 He was an Indian-tra-
der, and had a trading house " back of Wells," on land which he afterward bought of
Capt. Sandy, the Indian, twenty miles square, afterward known as the "five Ossipee
townships " His wife was Elizabeth , probably that servant of Capt. Francis Cham-
pernoune mentioned in his will. She was born 1634, and lived to old age. They had the
following children :
1 Edwardj died before his father.
2 Francis, died before his father.
-)-3 Samuel, b. 1666 ; settled on the homestead in Kittery.
4 Ben.iamin, settled in Connecticut.
5 Daniel, a carpenter, lived first at Truro, then at Provincetown. Had children :
1 Isaac ; 2 Daniel ; 3 .John ; 4 Edward ; 5 Elisha ; 6 Benjamin ; 7 Anna, (m.
Dyer) ; and perhaps others.
6 Elizabeth (probably), m. John Bugsley, of Kittery.
3 Samuel Small married Elizabeth, widow of James Chadbourne, and daughter of
Ensign James Heard. Children :
1 Elizabeth, b. 9 Nov. 1695 ; m. 10 Feb. 1714, Benjamin March.

thence to Kittery, in the winter of 1699-1700. He built his
house close by the one now occupied by Thomas Adlington. It
was built with hewn timber, and the upper story projected over
the lower one for protection against the Indians. In that house
he lived until his death. It was taken down in the early j)art of
this century, and the present one built.
Some time before the second organization of the town of Scar-
borough, he, with Roger Deering, John Libby, 1-1, and Roger Hun-
newell, went down to Black Point and built a sawmill on None-
such River, a short distance above the present Congregational
church. His interest in that mill he afterward gave to his three
sons, William, John and Andre av, and it is doubtful if he ran the
mill himself longer than a very short time. He died in March,
1740-1, leaving his homestead to his son Samuel. His widow
died two or three years later. In the family burying-ground lie
Matthew Libby and his wife and five generations of their de-
scendants, with nothing but rough stones to mark their graves.
Their children — the first six born in Scarborough and
Portsmouth, and the rest in Kittery — were:
1 William, m. Sarah Browu, 7-2.

Capt. John Libbt, born in Scarborough, probably as early as
1665; married 29 Dec. 1690, Eleaxor Kirke, dau. of Henry and
Ruth (Glanfield) Kirke, of Portsmouth.
He accompanied his father to Portsmouth in 1690. He was a
mechanic, and we find him mentioned at different times as house-
wrig'ht, millwright, and wheelwright. He, with his uncle Matthew
Libby and others, went down to Scarborough and built a sawmill
some years before 1720, and in the winter of 1729-30 he trans-
ferred his residence thither, and settled on the original homestead
of his grandfather. He was jDart owner in, and probably the
builder of, the gristmill on Libby River, a little below the bridge,
afterward known as Fogg's mill. He acquired the title Captain
in New Hampshire, and always retained it.
The time of his death is unknown, but it was between August,
1746, and December, 1751. The last time that his wife's name
appears in any records is in January, 1734.
Their children* were :

He lived in Portsmouth thirty-five years or more, but whether
he died there, or moved away, does not appear.
Children, doubtless all born in Portsmouth :
1 Benjamin, b. 1693; m. Elizabeth Ham.
2 Joseph, m. 29 Dec. 1726, Elizabeth Meserve, of Dover. About 1131
he settled on a farm in Rochester, but after two or three years re-
turned to Portsmouth, where the chief part of his life was spent
as a sailor and fisherman. Nothing appears of him nor his wife
after Nov. 1739, when they were both living in Portsmouth.

he ever afterward lived. Little is known of him other than what
appears from the following deposition:

James Libbt, born in Scarborough, probably about 1676 ; mar-
ried 9 June 1698, Mary Hanson, daughter of Isaac and Mary
Hanson, of Portsmouth.
He grew up, and always lived in Portsmouth, where he followed
the calling of house-carpenter. Among the New Hampshire state
papers is preserved an order about agreeing loith James Libhy,
carpenter^ for finishing a line of fortifications near Portsmouth.*
He was at the first town meeting of Scai'borough, and received
large grants of land, which he afterward gave to his son James.
Up to 1747 he lived on a farm, but in that year he sold to Col.
Nath'l Meserve, and bought a house and garden-spot, where he
died in 1754. He was a member of the Church of Christ. In
1712 he was constable "for the Bauk," (Strawberry Bank), and
afterward filled many town oftices, from selectman, down.
The last mention of his wife Mary, who seems to have been
the mother of all his children, was in Aug., 1718, and in 1736 he
had married a second wife, whose name was Elizabeth. She out-
lived him ten years or more.
His children were :
1 James, b. 23 Nov. 1700; m. Elizabeth Meserve.*

Deacon Benjamin Libby, born in Scai-borough, 4 June 1682;
married 20 Dec. 1707, Sarah Stone, daughter of Daniel and
Patience (Goodwin) Stone, of Kittery.
He was carried by his father to Portsmouth in 1690, and after-
ward went to Berwick and " lived and served his time " seven
years with Col. John Plaisted, He never left Berwick, but set-
tled near what is now South Berwick Junction, on the " Witch-
trot" road, and there lived until his death.
Deacon Libby was for many years one of the principal inhabi-
tants of the town ; frequently placed on the most important town
committees, often presiding over the meetings of the town, and
from 1719 to 1736, selectman. He was one of the original pro-
prietors of Lebanon and took a prominent part in the early man-
agement of that township. 16 Sept. 1725, he was chosen deacon
of the Congregational chiirch, of which he and his wife had been
members from 7 Oct. 1716, and filled that position until 25 June
1761. There is a record of special thanks voted him for his ser-
vices. He died 9 Nov. 1768. Whether his wife died before or
after is unknown, but she was living as late as February, 1764.
Their children were :
1 Agnes, b. 24 May 1709 ; m. Clark.
2 Joseph, ) twins, born ) m. Anna , and Mrs. Eliz. Shorey.
3 Benjamin, i 5 Apr. 1711; j m. Sarah ; died 1734. Probably it

guardianship as being non compos mentis. The children of Ben-
jamin Libby were :
1 Paul, bap. 1733 : m. 31 Dec. 1758, Meribah Lord. He was a

Jeremiah Libby, born in Scarborough in 1689; married 28
April 1715, Lydia Badger, daughter of John and Hannah
(Swett) Badger, of Portsmouth.
lie was ten months old when his father was driven from his
liome in Scarborough, and fled to Portsmouth. In Portsmouth he
evei- afterward lived, and practiced successfully the calling of
liouse-carpenter. He took no active part in town affairs, but that
lie had the confidence and esteem of his townsmen is evident
from his being several times on important committees, and that
he was at times chosen moderator of the town meetings. He and
his wife were both members of the Church of Christ. She died
before him by a number of years. He died in the spring of 1766,
having outlived six of his eight children.
They were :
1 Jeremiah, b. 21 Feb. 1717; m. 1st, Mary Symmes; 2d, Sarah New-
inarch.

Lieut. Samuel Libby, born in Scarborough, 6 July 1689;
married first, 29 Feb. 1727, Abigail Meserve ; (died 10 Nov.
1734); second, 17 Jan. 1739, Mary Jones, daughter of John and
Joanna (Cotton*) Jones,* of Scarborough. She died in June,
1754.
In the flight from Scarborough in 1690, he was carried to Lynn,
Mass., and there he must have received his education, which was
much superior to that of most of the second settlers of Scarborough.
He was present at the first town meeting, and was chosen clerk.
From that time on he took a leading part in the affairs of both
town and church. In February, 1726, it was voted by the town
that divine services should be held "one Sabbath day at the house
of Col. Westbrook at Dunstan, and another at the house of Sam-
uel Libby on Black Point," that is, alternately. In May, 1728,
he was on the committee chosen to oversee the building of the
meeting-house. It was built a few rods north of his house, and
the land between became the burying-ground, into which, a few
years since, the site of his house was taken. He filled nearly all
the oflices in the gift of the town. He was clerk during the first
six years of the town's organization ; selectman from 1721 to 1742,
♦Both natives of Portsmouth, N. H.

except the year 1727 ; anrl frequently moderator, and placed on
the most important committees.
He was a skilled land-surveyor, and probably surveyed more
during the thirty years that succeeded the re-organization of the
town in 1720, than any other man in that region. He was lot-
layer for the proprietors, and was also proprietors' clerk from
1727 until old age. In his latter days he became very feeble, and
during the last fifteen years of his life his townsmen had to look
to others for the many services which they had been accustomed
to receive from him. He died 1 Jan. 1770.
His children by his first wife, were :
By his second wife :
3 Ebenezer, b. 9 Nov. 1740; m. Miriam Larrabee.*
♦William Larrabee, tradition says, was a Frenchman. He married, Nov. 1655. in
Maiden, Mass., Elizabetli, dau. of George and Elizabeth (Wilkinson) Felt. George Felt
was the most prominent of the early settlers of North Yarmouth, Me., and thither his
son-in-law, Larrabee, removed. He bought land of an Indian named Warromby. It was
probably during t'hilip's war that he returned to Maiden, where he died. His will was
probated 24 Oct. 1692. His children were:
1 Stephen m. Isabel ; lived in Maiden.
2 William, b. 1658; m. Catherine ; lived in Wells, Me.

Capt. John Libbt, born probably soon after the year 1700;
married first, 15 June 1728, Mary Goodwin, daughter of Wm.
and Deliverance (Taylor) Goodwin, of Berwick; (died after a few
years); second, 24 Aug. 1738, Anna Fogg, 9-5-2.
He accompanied his father from Lynn to Scarborough, and set-
tled on a farm. His house was on Oak Hill, on the north side of
what afterward became the post-road between Portland and Saco,
a little west of the road leading to Gorham Corner.
He was a man of unusual energy and ability, and filled repeat-
edly the most important positious in the town. We find him cho-
sen "to locate Black Point school," and "to inspect the law rela-
tive to the killing of deer." He was also a land sixrveyor and suc-
ceeded in a measure to the position which his brother had filled.
He was lieutenant in Capt. George Berry's company in 1745, and
after the deatli of Capt, John Libby, 1-1, became known as Cap-
tain, and retained that epithet until his death, which was the
result of an accident. He was on a fishing trip, with two others,
and tlie small boat in which they were was upset near the mouth
of Nonesuch River, and although an expert swimmer, he never
rose. Tlie two others escaped, and there were suspicions of foul
play at the time of his death.
His children, by his first wife, were :
1 Henry, b. 6 Oct. 1729; doubtless died young.
2 Hannah, b. 4 Mar. 1731 ; m. John Fogg, 9-6-2.

Abraham Libbt, born in Hampton, N. H., about 1688 ; mar-
ried 14 Jan. 1713, Sabina Philbeick, daughter of Joseph and
Tryphene Philbrick, of Hampton.
He was a farmer. He lived in Hampton iintil 1718 or 19, and
then moved to Portsmouth, onto a farm which he had purchased.
There he abode until the spring of 1757, when he moved to North
Hampton. Within a year lie moved to Exeter, where he lived
two or three years, near the " old pickpocket mill." Thence he
moved to Epsom, where he died in the spring of 1767. His wife
died j^robably before he left Portsmouth.

Isaac Libby, born about 1690, in Hampton, N. H. ; married
Mart .
He was a farmer, and spent the chief part of his life in Rye.
He took an active part in the settlement of Epsom, and for a
number of years he doubtless divided his time between those
two places. That he was a man of good ability is evident from
the positions to which he was chosen by his townsmen. He was
chairman of the committee which built the first meeting-house in
Epsom, 1663. He probably died there in Epsom about ten years

David Libby, born probably in Scarborough before his parents
were driven away in 1690; married Esther Hanscom, daughter
of Thomas and Alice Hanscom, of Kitlery.
He lived on a part of his father's homestead, in Kittery, now
Eliot, until about 1731. During a portion of that time he was a
licensed retailer. From Kittery he moved to Scarborough, and
settled on a farm on Scottow's Hill. His house was a garrison,
and stood about two rods southeast of the late residence of
Leonard Libby, 10-2-4-8-6. There it was that Nathaniel Dresser
was killed by the Lidians. David Libby shot the Indian that did
the deed, and wounded him so severely that he died soon after,
David Libby died in Febriiary, 1765, and was buried on the 6th
of that month. His wife died in March, 1761. They were
doubtless both buried a few rods northeast of the house of Lem-
uel Libby, mentioned above. This spot was for many years the
principal burying-ground of the inhabitants of that locality, and
it is said that more than a hundred interments were made there ;
but it is now covered by a dense growth of shrubs and under-
brush, and not more than three or four graves are discernible.
The children of David and Esther Libby were :
1 Alice, b. 28 Nov. 1714; m. 2 Sept. 1736, Solomon Stone.
2 Josiah, b. 25 Oct. 1716; m. Mary Stone.
3 George, b. 18 Jan. 1719; d. 15 Jan. 1790; unm. He was one of the
original settlers of Machias, 1763, and from that year until his
death divided his time between that jjlace and Scarborough. He
gave to the town of Machias the lot on which the town hall now
stands. "On a part of this lot 'sleep the rude forefathers of the
hamlet.' It has also been the site successively of two churches.
In 1850, the old meeting-house standing on this lot, though not
occupied for some years as a place of worship, was taken down
by the town, which erected upon the same spot a large and, hand-
some edifice, containing convenient and spacious rooms for two
high schools and a commodious town hall. To this building the
town voted shovdd be given the name of Libby Hall, in honor of
George Libby, and in remembrance of his generous gift of the
land to the people of Machias."* He died with his nephew,
Thomas Libby, 10-1-8-1, to whom he had given the farm which
became his homestead.

lived until about 1731. He then removed to Scarborough and
settled on the farm now occu]:)ied by Samuel Manson Libby, 10-2-
4-9-3. He Avas a thrifty, enterprising man, and accumulated a
large property for those times. Hisinventoiy mentions his home-
stead, (valued at £280), 322 acres of land beside, half a sawmill, a
negro man, (his name was Nimrod), eight oxen, eight cows, four
steers, four heifers, one horse, one bull, thirty sheep, four swine, a

Tamsen Hanscom, a half-sister of his brother David's wife.
He was a carpenter, and at first built him a house on his father's
land, southwest of the road. He afterward came into possession
of the twenty acres on the northeast side of the road, on which
his brother David lived until his removal to Scarborougli, and
there lived until the time of his death, which occurred in the
spring of 1756. He had acquired considerable real estate, and
settled each of his sons on a farm. His homestead he gave to
Nathan. His widow died in February, 1789, having outlived her
husband thirty-three years.

ried, 14 Nov. 1724, Sarah Libby, 11-8.
He received from his father by deed of gift bearing date March,
1719, all his lands in Scarborough, and doubtless moved at once
to his father's old home, as he was present at the first town meet-
ing. His farm, on which he lived and died, included the present
Robinson homestead and the laiid on both sides of the road be-
tween that and the old Fogg farm. (The present Fogg farm in-
cludes part of the Libby homestead.) Three of his sons, Matthew,
Nathaniel, and Luke, he settled on parts of his homestead, and
to Elisha and Allison, he gave lands in the interior of the town.
He had an extra finger on each hand, below the little finger, and
from this was called, to distinguish him from the other John Libbys
in Scarborough at that time, Five Fingered Jolin Libby.* After
the death of his wife Sarah, he married, 9 Jan. 1755, Deborah
Dunnivan of Falmouth, who probably died before him. He died
1 July 1764.

Ephraim Libby, born in Kittery, now Eliot, 2 Feb. 1702; mar-
ried, 1728, Mary Ambler, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Trick-
ey) Ambler of Dover, N. H.
He received from his father by will the home lot of the home-
stead farm, and lived and died on the spot on which he was born.
His death occurred in the winter of 1776-7. His wife outlived
him.
Their children were :
1 Ephraim, b. 22 Mar. 1732; m. Sarah Morrill and Anne Spinney.
2 Eleanor, b. 26 Nov. 1734; m. 2U Jan. 1759, Thomas Langley of Dur-

3 Sept. 1755, and never returned. He died in the service.
4 Mary, ni. 1763, William Spinney.
5 Abigail, m. Thomas Allison.
*The other John Libbys were called respectively: John Libby, 1-1. Captain John ; his
sou John, Blue John; John Libby, 6-7, Black John, and later, Captain John : John Libby,
1-1-2-1, Liti In John. There was "also John Libby, 11-6, living at tlie same time, but his
nickname, if he had any, is unknown. These names seldom appear in the records, but
the places were supplied either by numbers, second, third, etc., or by stating the father's
name. In the latter method occur frequent illustrations of the original formation of the
patronynnc class of surnames. John Libby, John's son; John Libby, Henry's son; and
John Libby, David's son, were frequently written John Libby Johnson, John Libby lien-
ryson, and .John Libby Davidson: so that to a casual reader,' Jo Ini son. JAnri/son and Da-
vidaou would seem to be the surnames of the men, and Libby only a middle name.

He removed to Scarborough soon after the second settlement.
His house was on the site of that recently occupied by Abraham
Plummer, near the present Congregational church. He died of a
severe cold, (caught while working with an adz in the hold of a

Lieut. Andrew Libby, born in Kittery, now Eliot, Me., 1 Dec
1700 ; married Esther Furber, daughter of Jethro J^ urber, ot
Newino'ton, N. H. . -, i j. r^ i
He returned to Scarborough, and settled on the farm afterward
occupied by his son Simon. His house stood in the orcluxrd op-
posite the present residence of John Adams Libby, llw-11-b-b.
He became one of the largest farmers in the town, but took no
part in town business. We find him, however, m 1743, one ot a
committee of three, chosen "to get a schoolmaster. It is not
known that he was in actual service in the French wal^ but from
1745 until his death, he was known as Lieut. Andrew Libby. He
died 5 Jan. 1773, leaving a good property. He and his wife were
both members of the Congregational church. She died 1 Oct.
1756, and during the next year he married Eleanor (Libby)
Trickey, 10-8. She outlived him, and died 27 Sept. 1781.

Nathaniel Libby, born in Kittery, Me., 2 Nov. 1704; mar-
ried, 11 Oct. 1730, Miriam Knight.
In 1735 or 6, he removed to the adjoining town of Berwick,
and settled at Blackberry Hill. This was at that time a frontier
wilderness. It was much exposed to the Indians, and they had
frequently to seek the shelter of the garrison. On one occasion,
it is told, when Mr. Libby was away from home, the house was
surrounded by savages, but his wife scared them away by deceiv-
ing them into the belief that there were men there. In that spot
Nathaniel Libby cleared for himself a farm, which he occupied
until his death.
After the death of his first wife, the mother of his children, he
married, 10 Nov. 1757, the widow Hannah Staples, of Kittery.
After his death in the spring of 1761, she returned to Kittery.
He was the father of thirteen children, but only four survived
him. It is said that he lost six of the thirteen, in one week, by
a throat distemper.
His children were :
1 Nathaniel, b. about 1731 ; died young.
2 Susannah, b. about 1733 ; died young.

FOURTH GENERATION.
1-1-2
James Libbt, born in Portsmouth, N. H., in the year 1700 ;
married Mary Fukber, daii. of Jethro Furber of Newington,
N. H.
He removed to Scarborough a few years before his father did,
and at his father's death came into 2:»ossession of the original
Libby homestead. He took little part in town business, but his
occasionally serving on committees of importance shows that he
did not lack the confidence of his townsmen. That he was a
charitalile man appears from the following narrative : His son
Eliakim, returning home from the Revolutionary war with noth-
ing but his discharge to compensate him for his services, was
taken sick and obliged to ask assistance of a stranger. On talking;
with the man to whom he applied, it appeared that many years
before, while journeying j^enniless through Scarborough he had
been taken in and cared for by Eliakim's parents and sent on his
way Avith money to reach home. The man cared for him until he
had sufficiently recovered, and then gave him money to last him
home, just as he himself had been treated long before by Elia-
kim's parents.
James Libby died 18 Feb. 1776, and his widow, 29 Mar. 1777.
Their children were :
1 John, b. 18 July 1724; m. 13 Mar. 1749, Amia Libby, 1-4-1-2. He
and his brother Jethro bought a tract of wild laud in the interior
of the toAvn, on tlie banks of the Nonesncli, and divided it be-
tween them and settled on it. He had no cliildren, and gave his
farm to his brotlier's son Charles for the support of liimself and
wife. He sold it and removed to another on Beach Eidge. There
John Libby died, 13 Dec. 1808; and his widow, 1 Nov. 1819.
2 Jethro, b. about 1726; m. Mary Libby, 1-1-5-1, and Hannah (Wood-

3 Roger, b. 14 Aug. 1729; m. 28 May 1752, Dorothy Meserve. [See
page 37.] He was a farmer and settled on wild land in the north-
west part of his native town. He had no children, and gave his
farm to Jonathan McKenney, whose grandson, Granville McKen-
ney, now occupies it. He was known as Captain. He died 1 Feb.
1825. After his first wife's death, he married, 1 Jan. 1805, Han-
nah (Manny) Watson, widow of Jonathan Watson. The records
say that she died 13 Dec. 1828, "after losing four husbands, Sea- \
vey, Chandler, Watson, and Libby."

stood southwest of the road, opposite the sharp bend a few rods
from the bridge over Libby River. His widow occupied this
house until her death, which occurred in her 95th year, 6 Mar.
1842, and it was then taken down. The Libby homestead went
into the possession of Israel Perry, who had married the widow's

1-1-6
JosiAH Ltbby, born in Portsiiioutli, N. H., 1715; married, 23
Mar. 1737, Anna Small. [See page 3*2.]
He was but a boy when his father carried him to Scarborough.
He grew up on the original Libby homestead, and then settled on
Oak Hill. His house stood in what is now the southeast corner
of the cross roads, and his farm extended to the south. He was
a trumj^eter in the French wars, and was known as Trumpeter
^ Siah. He died at the age of thirty-five, 2 Feb. 1751, leaving a
good projicrty. His widow married, 10 Jan. 1755, Nathaniel Mil-
liken, by whom she also had children, and died 12 Jan. 1784,
The following narrative, of her telling, is remembered still.
It was during an Indian trouble, when, in their exposed posi-
tion on Oak Hill, it was not safe to pass the night in their own
home, and they were accustomed every day, at nightfall, to seek
the protection of the garrison. One day her husband, the trum-
peter, was away from home. He was expected back, but did not
return at the appointed time. Darkness came on, the calls of the
Indians were heard in the surroimding woods, but the husband
did not appear. Nothing had been seen of the Indians for a few
days previous, and he had allowed himself to be delayed, little
knownig the danger his family was in. The wife and mother,
not daring to have a light, sat trembling with her children in the
darkness. At last her husband approached his home, and he too
heard the calls of the Indians. Stealthily he made his way to his
house, and in whispers prepared for their departure. With the
cries of the Indians on all sides of them, they crept through the
Flaggy Meadow, and by their good fortune, reached tlie garrison
in safety. The next day they found their house pillaged. In
such dangers, the days of this generation were passed.

*TM3 Joseph Libby was certainly a son of John and Margaret (Crussy; Libby, who
were married 9 Sept. 1761. That John Libby who married Margaret Crussy, and John
Libby, 1-4-5, were the same person, there is no positive proof, but there can, in reason, be
no doubt that they are identical.

Jeremiah Libby, born in Portsmouth, N. H., 21 Feb. 1717;
married first, Mary* Syiimes, daughter of Johji and Hannah
*iMy authority for stating tliat she was a daughter of John Symnies is as follows : 1st,
Joseph Symmes was appointed guardian of her two sons, after their father's death; 2a,
in July 1771, Jeremiah, her only surviving child, quitclaimed to the same person, his
right in the estate of John and Hannah Symmes.
62 THE LIBBY FAMILY IN AMERICA.
Symmes of Portsmouth. She died 11 July 1750, and he married
second, Sarah, apparently daughter of Tliomas Newmarch.
It cannot be learned what occupation he followed, for in all le-
gal documents he was described as a gentleman. His inventory
mentions no real estate, except his house lot and garden. He was
selectman in 1754. He and his first wife were members of the
"Church of Christ." He died shortly before May 1757. His
widow seems to have married as second husband, Newmarch.
His children, by his first wife, were :
1 John, b. 6 Oct. 1746; d. 25 May 1770; probably unmarried.
2 Jeremiah, [Esq.], b. 14 Aug. 1748; married, 23 June 1772, Elizabeth,
dau. of Daniel and Margaret Lunt of Portsmouth. He was a
" shop-keeper " probably before he was of age, and became a suc-
cessful merchant on Market street. He was for many years one
of Portsmouth's leading inhabitants, closely connected with every
advance. He was an intimate friend, and enjoyed the high es-
teem, of Gov. Belknap. He was clerk of a company of volunteers
in the Eevolution, held repeatedly the highest town offices, and
was for many years postmaster. In 1801, 1802, and 1805, he was
candidate for the state legislature, and went ahead of his ticket,
but, with the rest of his party, was defeated. It is told of him
tliat he "wore a very large wig, and was one of the committee
that received Washington in 1790." He died 4 Sept. 1824, and
his widow, 20 Jan. 1826. He had no children. His hovise, located
at the foot of Vaughan street, is now known as the White Hart
Hotel.

eral Assembly of New Hampshire, "that Mr. George Libby be
Commissary to go with the forces that go from this Province on
y* Expedition ag^* Louisburg =**^ * * & have four pound ten shil-
ling pr month for his wages." It appears that he refused to go
"for the allowance made him by the Gen^ Assembly." He
was auditor of Portsmouth 1748. He was a member of the
" Church of Christ." He died between Oct. 1759, and Dec. 1760.
His wife outlived him.
Their children were :

covisin Jeremiah's wife. He was a merchant in Portsmouth and

Pie settled on Beech Ridge, in Scarborough, and cleared the
farm now occu])ied by George Pilsbury. He built a one-storied
house a few rods south of the one now on the farm. In 1800 he
tore this down and built a brick house with bricks of his own
manufacture, on the site of the house now standing. It was
among tlie first brick houses in Scarborough. He engaged large-
ly in a])]ile raising and vinegar making. It was from this circum-
stance that the road now known as the Vinegar road derived its
name. He was chiefly instrumental in obtaining this road, and
someone who had opposed it, vexed with his defeat, called it the
vinegar road.

JosiAH LiBBT, born in Kittery, (now Eliot), Me., 25 Oct, 1716;
married 22 June 1742, Maey Stone of Scarborough.
He left Kittery witli his father and became a farmer. He lived
on, or near, Scottow's Hill for about ten years succeeding his mar-

Timothy Libby, born about 1724, in that part of Kittery, Me.,
wldch is now Eliot ; married 9 Oct. 1746, Sarah Stone of Scar-
borough.
He Avas carried by his father to Scarborough when a child. He
grew up and settled on a farm near Scottow's Hill, where all his
children were born. In 1763 he became one of the first settlers
of Machias. The following narrative of the cause of the settle-
ment of Machias is given by Henry A. Libby of Machiasport,
10-1-5-5-3-3. It differs from published accounts, yet, although it
may be incorrect in some of its details, it is probably a substan-
tially correct account of the discovery of Machias by those Scar-
borough people who formed the first permanent settlement there.
Speaking of his grandfather, he says : He told me one day
when I was at work with him (I was quite small) how his father
came to settle in Machias. When he lived in Scarborough it was
his practice in the winter to go east in a small vessel on a sealing
voyage. It was on a return voyage, some hundred and fifteen or
twenty years ago, that he encountered a gale and storm and tried
to make what is now called Cutler Harbor. He made a mistake
in the headland, ran ashore in a small cove, and lost his vessel
and cargo. Then he had to get home in his small boat. In fol-
lowing along the coast, as was necessary for him to do, he rowed
into Machias Elver. Struck with its beauty, he followed it to its
head. Here he found the natural facilities so good that he deter-
mined to make it his future home. He returned to Scarborough,
.... and the next spring, taking his own family, and getting
some eight or ten families rnore, they moved to their new abode.
He received, as one of the original settlers, a seven-acre lot^
where the village of Machias now stands. Here he made his res-
idence, and a few years later, (previous to June 1766), died. His

1727; married first, 13 Dec. 1750, Dorcas Means; she died, and
he married second, in April, ,1766, the widow Joanna (Jose)
Page, daughter of Martin and Mercy Jose of Scarborough.
David Libby early adopted the following of the sea, and became
captain of a coaster. During the French war he was engaged in
transporting sup2:)lies to the garrison at Black Point. He bought
a lot at Blue Point, and built him a house there. He sold this
property in December, 1762, and was one of the company who
formed the first settlement at Machias, in 1763. He did not stay
there long. In June, 1768, he sold his seven-acre home lot to
Samuel Libby, 6-6-1, and soon after removed to Providence, R. I.,
Avhere he resided during the Revolution, and some years after.
In his old age he and his wife returned to Maine. She died near
the home of her childhood. After her death, her husband led an
unsettled, homeless life, stopping here and there in the neighbor-
hood of Scarborough. The time and place of his death are un-
known.

further war service with aversion. It was his determination tO'

Aug. 17(50, Ruth Libby, 1-1-5-3; she died, and was buried 7
Aug. 1771. He married sepond, Anna Lazzel, of Kennebunk,
Peter Libby, when he was first married, lived on the farm on
Pleasant Hill, which afterward became the homestead of Daniel
Libby, 11-7-7. There his oldest son was born. He afterward
lived on the farm now occupied by Charles Robinson, and moved
thence to Beech Ridge, where he settled on the farm now owned
by Mr. Clough. There he died 7 Nov. 1822. He was a man of
firm, decisive character. LTe was in town business considerably;
was selectman 1774, 5, 6, 1781, and from 1791 to 1799.
His widow died in Gardiner about 1830. Her sons all died of
excessive bleeding. Old people still shake their heads solemnly
and say, " They were under a curse." The dim tradition is that
some man, on shipboard, the subject of some grevious injury at
the hands of a Lazzel, in his last moments called down a curse
upon him, that all his male descendants for a number of genera-
tions, should bleed to death. And the old people add, "It cer-
tainly came true in this family,"

Elizabeth ; she died ten or twelve years later, and he married his
third wife, the widow Sarah Warren, 3 Dec. 1813, and died in
about a year. His widow returned to Saco.
Before he was married he settled on Beech Ridge, in the sec-
ond parish of Scarborough. There he built a house, and cleared a
farm, and thither, later, he took his wife. He afterward built the
house now standing, about two rods west of the old one. There
he lived until his death. He was an enrolling officer during the
Revolution, and was for many years a deputy sheriff for Cumber-
land County. He was of an accumulative turn, and amassed a
considerable property. He had no children, and made an heir of
his sister's son, Richard Mitchell, whose grandson, Wm. H. Mitch-
ell, now occupies the homestead.
The following story shows something of his character : He
and his two brothers Avere all powerful wrestlers, but Peter was
the smartest. One day at a raising, Peter had "cleared the ring."
No one appearing to give him further trial, he called out to his
brother, "Come, brother Dick, don't you want to take a fall?"
Richard accepted the challenge, and, by a lucky movement, threw
his brother. From that day forth he never wearied of saying,
" I threw Peter, the last time we Avrestled," but he could never be
persuaded to give his brother an opportunity to regain his lead-
ership.

He grew up a farmer, and settled on part of the homestead of

young men had been down to the seashore on horseback, and on
the return, near the house of Major Josiah Libby, 1-1-6-4, he was
thrown from his horse, and dislocated his neck. He was taken
into Josiah Libby's house, and a physician called, who, as it
proved, did not know enough to set it. The unfortunate man
THE FOURTH GENERATION. 93
lived a number of clays in great agony, and died 11 Sept. 1773,
of strangulation.
The regular physician of the place. Doctor Deguio, (who used
to say, " My father was one French gentleman, and my mother
was one Indian sqixaw "), was away at the time of the accident,
but returned almost immediately after death had taken ])lace.
He was in a towering passion at the ignorance which had caused
the loss of a promising young man. " Look here," he said, and in
a second the dislocated neck was i-eplaced. He then dislocated
and replaced it again and again, as fast as he could move his
hands, raging all the while, until he had exhausted his indignation.
Probably not one of the witnesses ever forgot that lesson.
The widow married, 12 Sept. 1775, Allison Libby, 10-5-4, and
took her children into his family.

to the door, in likeness to a Negro Boy — his visage very gliostly and
frightful — and approach the bed where we were, with a scythe in his
hand. My brother starting out of bed, I thought he struck him with the
scythe, and seemed to cut him into two i^ieces, and I saw no more of
him, but awoke, and behold, it was a dream !

ada, and settled at Knowlton, on the farm of which a portion is

in his march through the woods of Maine, and also under Stark

physicians. He is located in Boston, but has a sub-office in

followed that calling seventeen years. He then engaged in busi-
ness as shijj chandler and commission merchant and was for many
years one of the leading business men of Richmond. His con-
nection with the famous Libby Prison may be well given in the
words of his son.
"My father was engaged in the business of shi]) chandler,
grocer, and commission merchant, and had a lease on the build-
ing for three years. When the war broke out his business was
suspended, as his whole trade was with the North, but he still
retained possession of the building, and General Winder, who was
in command of Richmond at that time, notified him that he de-
sired the building for a prison and if his goods were not removed
within a certain time, he would throw them into the street.
Winder took forcible possession of the building, and converted it
into a prison. The name was derived from the simple fact of the
sign of Libby & Son remaining over the door. "
He died 28 Aug. 1871. Hi^s wife died 26 July 1865.

smith and carriage maker. In addition to these he kept a general
store. These buildings formed a line all along the road, and in

ing. Upon his uncle's removal to the West, he continued the
business for himself, but was not successful, and, following his
uncle to Chicago, was for many years foreman for Cragin & Co.,
of which firm his uncle had become a member. After seven
years, he himself, with a small capital, engaged in packing
tongues. Later, A. McNeill and his own brother became his
partners, and the business was extended. They used the firm
name of A. A. Libby & Co. until 1874, when it was changed for
the present one of Libby, McNeill & Libby. Adopting strict
principles of fair dealing, the firm met with great success. In
1875 they added to their immense business in barreling beef,
that of canning cooked corned beef, and in the latter form their
production has won such a name that their exports of canned
goods equal or exceed those of all other packers in this country.

800 to 1200 head of cattle. Children :

Storer Libbt, born in Scarborough, 3 Nov. 1802; married, 19
Aug. 1821, Dorothy Lancaster Tompson. [See page 75.]
After liis niotlier's marriage to Parson Lancaster, he worked out
farming in different ]ilaces. He worked one year with his broth-
er-in-law Berry, in Pownal, and one year with his brotlier-in-law
Rice, then of Gorham. He worked two years for his father-in-
law, and, in 1821, married his granddaughter. Two years after
his marriage he removed to Pownal, and bought and cultivated
a small pLace, occupying his spare time by butchering and mar-
keting. In 1829 he retu.rned to Scarborough, to again take
charge of Parson Lancaster's farm, and on his death, two years
later, bought out the other heirs. Thus the Lancaster place, on
which his wife's grandfather had lived during a pastorate of more
than fifty years, came into his hands, and on it he lived until his
death, 7 March 1873. His widow still occupies his homestead.
He was bred a Democrat, and A^oted with that party until the
rise of the Republican party, when he sto]»ped voting entirely.
His sentiments were those of the Republicans. Brought up
in the days of New England rum, he was always a practicer of
total abstinence. Though not a church-member, his household
was filled Math religious influences ; the daily Bible reading was
as regular as breakfast. His whole character may be seen in the
epithet by which he was known at a period when nicknames were
given to many in his locality — most of them derived from un-
favorable peculiarities. His was " Old Silver Piece."

4 Samuel Tompson, b. 12 Oct. 1828; m. 1 June 1856, Hannah Eliza-
beth, dan. of Daniel and Jane (Hildebrant) Pruden of Mendham,
N. J. He early became a member of the Congregational Church.
In 18-52, under the auspices of the American Board of Missions,
he went to Pine Eidge, Indian Territory, as steward of a girl's
boarding school there. Two and one-half years later he returned
home, but immediately went back and took charge of the girl's
school at the Wheelock missionary station. There he married
one of the teachers and passed the rest of his life. Beside being
steward, and having the chief care of the temporal affairs of the
station, he was also superintendent of the Sabbath-school, leader
of the prayer-meetings, and gradually became accustomed to
conducting the church services. He at length became one of the
elders of the church, (Presbyterian). At the time of the war he
was unable to return north, and was obliged to serve as commis-
sary in the Choctaw army. He died from the effects of a sun-
stroke received while in the army, 18 Oct. 1866. Two years later
his widow and children returned east, and since 1872 the former

for one year to Simeon Higgins, to learn the carpenter's trade.
In 1856, after working as journeyman for Mr. Higgins three and
one-half years, he went into business himself, in company with
Samuel P. Tibbetts. In this connection, and also in his business
alone, after the dissolution of the partnership in 1858, he was
very successful ; but the depression of the value of real estate
in which he had invested gave rise to embarrassments which con-
ti-acted his business, and from which he has not yet (1881) recov-
ered. His wife died 24 July 1877. Children, born in Portland:
1 Charles Thornton, b. 28 Sept. 1861. In his ninth year, having

graduation, July 1879, when he received one of the "Brown"
silver medals for scholarship. In September following he
passed his examination for admission to Harvard College.

son Libby, includes the surnames of his four grandp-arents ; tirst the mother's name, then
her mother's name, then the paternal grandmother s name, and then the surname. The
plan, fully carried out, would demand that all this family should be distinguished from
other families of Libbys by these three middle names, and that the diflerent members of
the family be distinguished from each other by christian names prefixed. Thus this fam-
ily might have been : George F. H. S. Libby, Eleanor F. H. S. Libby, Lester F. H. S. Lib-
by, and Elizabeth F. H. S. Libby. Such a method of naming, could it once become gen-
eral, would make the genealogist's task an easy and sure one. Succeeding generations
would thus preserve their pedigrees in their names. Some such method is more necessa^
ry for purposes of distinction to-day than was the optional use of middle names a half-
century ago.
