CAPT. JOHN LIBBY, born in Scarborough, probably as early as 1665; married 29 Dec. 1690, ELEANOR KIRKE, dau. of Henry and Ruth (Glanfield) Kirke, of Portsmouth. He accompanied his father to Portsmouth in 1690. He was a mechanic, and we find him mentioned at different times as housewright, millwright, and wheelwright. He, with his uncle Matthew Libby and others, went down to Scarborough and built a sawmill some years before 1720, and in the winter of 1729-30 he transferred his residence thither, and settled on the original homestead of his grandfather. He was part owner in, and probably the builder of, the gristmill on Libby River, a little below the bridge, afterward known as Fogg's mill. He acquired the title Captain in New Hampshire, and always retained it. The time of his death is unknown, but it was between August, 1746, and December, 1751. The last time that his wife's name appears in any records is in January, 1734. Children: Elizabeth, James, John, Eleanor, Jonathan, Josiah. Capt. John Libby, like his father, disposed of his property in his lifetime. No full list of his children appears. He probably had a number of daughters whose names cannot be learned. [ref 25:35]
