[ref 25:48] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SAMUEL3 LIBBY (David2, John1) was born about 1690, possibly in Portsmouth where his family fled when Scarborough was deserted because of the Indian raids. He married in Kittery on May 31, 1713, his cousin Mary Libby, daughter of his uncle Matthew. On his father-in-law's farm in that part of Kittery which later became the town of Eliot he built a house in which he and his young family lived until about 1731 when he moved to Scarborough which was in process of being resettled. Samuel's first purchase of land in Scarborough was made with his father from his uncle Daniel Fogg on January 28, 1726/7. It was a hundred acre lot which Fogg had bought from Rev. John Emerson of Portsmouth to whom it had been granted by the town of Scarborough in 172o. In 1729/30 he added to his holdings by two deeds from William Cotton of Portsmouth, both given on March 2, the first of which covered one hundred and twenty acres of land "lying by the great hill," or Scottow's Hill, which Cotton had bought from John Libby, millwright of Portsmouth and Samuel's cousin, in 1727, and the second conveyed one hundred acres of upland and twenty acres of marsh which had been granted to Cotton by the Scarborough proprietors in 1720. On leaving Kittery, Samuel Libby and Mary, his wife, deeded to his brother Ephraim ten acres in Kittery on November 11, 1730/1. [sic?] On January 10, 1732/3, Libby bought from Nathaniel and Samuel Harmon a business property which he was to hold for the rest of his life -- one-third of a sawmill, falls, stream, dam, ironwork and flume on Mill Creek on the east side of Scarborough River. His next purchase, made on March 18, 1733, was from George Walker, gentleman, of Portsmouth, covering several small acreages which had been part of the original Andrew Brown farm jutting out into the marshes at the foot of Scottow's Hill. On a high piece of isolated ledge, known to his family and the town of Scarborough in general as "The Rock," surrounded by meadow and marsh, he set his house which, in its conspicuous and isolated position, was a local landmark until in recent years other houses were built along the farm road which led to it from the highway. Samuel Libby was buried on May 15, 1754. His widow Mary Libby survived until January, 1774. In the Scarborough records he appears as Samuel Libby "junior," his cousin Samuel (Henry2) being "senior." Children 1714-33: Samuel, Mary, Olive, Enoch, Abigail. [ref 46:2-476] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WILL OF SAMUEL LIBBY 6 Apr 1754 - 8 July 1754: In the Name of God Amen.
