To resume the notice of - VIII. JACOB SIBLEY, b. May 28, 1746, father of Jonathan and Jacob, of Union. When eighteen years old, he was sent by his father, one of the proprietors of Meredith, to assist in building the first bridge across the Winnipiseogee River, near the out- let of the lake. In 1768, he went to Hopkinton, N. H., boarded with his sister Stevens, when the place was almost a wilderness, and the remotest settlement from the seaboard, except the valley of the Connecticut and of its tributaries ; and d. at Hopkinton, June 25, 1831. Oct. 11, 1771, he m. Anna, dr. of Gideon George, a shoemaker and farmer of East Haverhill, Mass., whose wife, a Jewett, came to this country when fourteen days old. She was b. Sept. 11, 1749, and d. Sept. 20, 1828. After their wedding, they rode on one horse from Haverhill to his sister Stevens's, on Sugar Hill, in Hopkinton ; whence, there being no road, they walked two miles in a narrow path, through the woods, to their humble dwelling, driving before them a little spot- ted pig. Her " fitting out " consisted of three white cups and three saucers, three knives, three forks, one coverlet made of hair and tow, and one of wool. In 1774, they took a journey, on horseback, to Haverhill and Stratham, and back; the mother seated behind the father, who carried his only child in his arms before him. In 1776, Jacob Sibley was in the military service at Portsmouth, and worked on Fort Constitution. While there, his wife, besides attending to her domestic duties and taking care of her two children, hoed three acres of corn upon burnt land. This was a few months before the birth of her third child. In the latter part of her life, her physical strength gradually failed, till she lost entirely the power of locomotion. De- cendants : -

XI. Polly, b. July 30, 1794 ; m., March 26, 1820, Timothy, r. Warner, b. Jan. 29, 1790, Hopkinton, N. H. (s. of Simeon, s. of Enoch Eastman, proprietors' clerk, of Hopkinton, N.H.). They have 1. Laura, b. Hopkinton, March 20, 1821. 2. George Sibley, b. April 16, 1823, Warner, N.H .; r. Stoneham, Mass .; m., June 6, 1850, Mary Jane Buttman, of Stoneham. 3. Mary, b. June 3, 1827. 4.

Thus it appears that Jonathan and Jacob, who settled in Union, were sons of Jacob, b. May 18, 1746, the son of Jonathan, b. Nov. 25, 1701, the son of Samuel, b. in Salem, Mass., 10: 1: 1658, the son of Richard. Richard probably was born in England, and may have been the son of John, of Charlestown, Mass., and have come with him in the Winthrop fleet.
It may be added that there is a remarkable similarity of appearance in the different branches of the family, though separated by several generations. Some years since, ' George Littlefield, of Meredith Bridge, N. H., whose features and movements were as like those of the late Amos, of Hopkinton, as if they were brothers, was followed a long distance in Washington-street, Boston, by a gentleman who mistook him for Jonas, of Sutton, Mass., the late U. S. marshal. These three individuals belonged to three branches which had been diverging from each other one hundred and fifty years or more.
In relation to the Sibleys who lived in Salem and the vicinity, most of the information and the arrangement have been furnished by George Dean Phippen, Esq., an enthusiastic and laborious genealo- gist and antiquarian, whose grandmother was one of the family.
