JAMES LIBBY, born in Scarborough, probably about 1676; married 9 June 1698, MARY HANSON, daughter of Isaac and Mary Hanson, of Portsmouth. He grew up, and always lived in Portsmouth, where he followed the calling of house-carpenter. Among the New Hampshire state papers is preserved an order about agreeing with James Libby, carpenter, for finishing a line of fortifications near Portsmouth. He was at the first town meeting of Scarborough, and received large grants of land, which he afterward gave to his son James. Up to 1747 he lived on a farm, but in that year he sold to Col. Nath'l Meserve, and bought a house and garden-spot, where he died in 1754. He was a member of the Church of Christ. In 1712 he was constable "for the Bank," (Strawberry Bank), and afterward filled many town offices, from selectman, down. The last mention of his wife Mary, who seems to have been the mother of all his children, was in Aug., 1718, and in 1736 he had married a second wife, whose name was Elizabeth. She outlived him ten years or more. Children: James, Mary, Sarah, Isaac, John, Hanson, Ichabod, Shuah, Elizabeth. [ref 25:37]
