RICH.
We find the names of Samuel, Elisha and Israel Rich, all of whom came to Sutton about the same time, but their relationship is unknown. There is no record of the mar- riage of Samuel or Israel, and they probably brought their wives with them.

SEVERY.
Joseph Severy, the ancestor of the Severys in Sutton, was born in Ipswich, from which place he went to Rehoboth, where he married Sarah Stockwell, a sister of the Stock- wells, who were among the first settlers of the town. He probably came to Sutton about 1728.

SIBLEY.
The first Sibleys in this country came over from England in the Fleet, in A. D. 1629-only nine years after the settle- ment of old Plymouth-and settled in the town of Salem. They were supposed to be brothers, and their names were John and Richard. They both had wives. They united with the church at Charlestown, Dec. 21, 1634, and John Sibley took the freeman's oath sixth of May, 1635. He was a selectman of the town of Salem and went to the general court at Boston. He died in 1661, leaving nine children, five daughters and four sons. His sons' names are : 1, John, born March 4, 1648 ; was a captain, selectman, etc. ; 2, William, born July

8, 1653; was a yeoman, butcher, etc .; 3, Joseph, born 1655 ; was a fisherman ; 4, Samuel, born February 12, 1657 ; his wife's name was Mary, of Salem.
Joseph Sibley, the son of John, who was born in 1655, on his return from a fishing voyage was impressed on board a British frigate, put to hard service for seven weeks, then released and sent home. This Joseph Sibley was the father of the Sutton Sibleys. His wife's name was Susanna; they had seven children, one daughter and six sons, viz :
1, Joseph, b. Nov. 9, 1684; 2, John, b. Sept. 18, 1687; 3, Jonathan, b. May 1, 1690; 4, Samuel, b. 1697; 5, William, b. Sept. 7, 1700; 6, Benjamin, b. Sept. 19, 1703; 7, Hannah, m. Ebenezer Dagget, Aug. 10, 1722.
It appears that all these brothers settled in this town. Three of these, Joseph, John and Jonathan, were among the thirty families who were entered as settlers in the four thou- sand acres. Samuel's name appears soon after as occupying a place with Joseph. In the seating of the meeting-house in 1731, the names of William and Benjamin Sibley are found as assigned to the fifth seat on the lower floor.
