In 1735 or 6, he removed to the adjoining town of Berwick, and settled at Blackberry Hill. This was at that time a frontier wilderness. It was much exposed to the Indians, and they had frequently to seek the shelter of the garrison, On one occasion, it is told, when Mr. Libby was away from home, the house was surrounded by savages, but his wife scared them away by deceiving them into the belief that there were men there. In that spot Nathaniel Libby cleared for himself a farm, which he occupied until his death.
