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.
