Mary Green

"Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and New Hampshire" [Noyes, Libby, Davis], p. 432:

Mary Libby was the second wife of John Libby and was still alive when he made his Will on 9 Feb. 1682/83 [1683]. She was the mother of John Libby's two youngest sons, Matthew, b. 1663, and Daniel, b. c1666. By tradition, Matthew was a half-brother to his older siblings, David Libby, b. 1658, and Hannah (Libby) Fogg, b. 1660. These three, plus their families, all lived next door to one another in what is now Eliot.

Mary is only referred to as "my wife" in John Libby's Will. However, her name is known to us because later, her portion of her husband's property was known as "Mary Libby's Marshes".

She may have married 2nd, William Green who owned land abutting John Libby's property in Scarborough. This is inferred because what appears to be the same land known as "Mary Libby's Marshes" was subsequently referred to as "John Libby's Nonsuch lot called Mary Green's". [Genealogical Dictionary, p. 288].

Please note: Despite assertions on internet sites, Mary's maiden name was not Miller.
