About Capt. John Libby
Note by Robert Hanscom, a descendant of this Libby family (6/2/2015): Capt. John Libby did NOT die in December 1751. He was last seen alive when he deeded property in 1746, but was deceased by 3 December 1748. See piece from the Genealogical Dictionary below.
"Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire" [Noyes, Libby, Davis], p. 433:
CAPT. JOHN LIBBY [b. 1669, son of John Jr. and Agnes Libby], age 68 in June 1737, age 74 in June 1743; deposed he was near 21 when Scarborough was abandoned [1690]. Dubbed usually millwright, rarely house carpenter, wheelwright, gentleman. As Lt. Libby, he was the hero of the Breakfast Hill attack in 1696, and in Dummer's War, was Captain of a Portsmouth Company. In 1738 he and wife Eleanor (Kirke, m. 29 Dec. 1692) deposed that from 1704 to 1729, they lived on a farm hired of Major William Vaughan on the road to Newington. But in 1697, he was licensed to keep tavern and retail liquors at the Creek, and about 1717, in partnership with his uncle Matthew, Roger Hunnewell, and Roger Deering, Esq., he went to Scarborough and built the first mill on Nonesuch River. Later he was half-owner and presumably the builder of the grist mill on Libby River, and in 1729 was part owner in the double sawmill further up the river. In 1746, he deeded to his three eldest sons the original Libby homestead, then occupied by Samuel Brown. He is not mentioned alive after that year, but died before 3 December 1748...
