    • From "The Libby Family in America" by Charles T. Libby page 39.

      He was carried by his father to Portsmouth in 1690, and afterwards went to Berwick and "lived and served his time" seven years with Col. John Plaisted. He never left Berwick, but settled near what is now South Berwick Junction, on the "Witchtrot" road, and there lived until his death.

      More notes:

      He was brought 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.
