Note: Because of a great deal of similar names, as well as multiple intermarriages in the Libby family tree, Charles Libby, author of The Libby Family in America devised a numbering system from the Immigrant. The immigrant on WikiTree is John Libby. Each child is numbered in order, so Matthew Libby is Child 11 (discounting several sisters who were not included in the book) (or Libby 11). Each of his children is numbered in order (11-1, 11-2, 11-3) etc.

Dorcas (Libby 11-10) born Feb 2 1706 married James Staples on June 24 1729.
