Burial: Unknown



"As has already been told, he went to Portsmouth in 1690, and thence to Kitteyr, 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 part of this [the 19th] century, and the present one built. !Some time before the second organization of the town of Scarborough, he, with Roger Deering, John Libby, 1-1, and Roger Hunnewell, went down to Black Point and built a sawmill on Nonesuch River, a short distance above the present Congregational church. His interest in that mill he afterward gave to his three sons, William, John and Andrew, 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 descendants, with nothing but rough stones to mark their graves."
