He was carried by his father to Portsmouth in 1690, and afterward 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. Deacon Libby was for many years one of the principal inhabitants 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.
