He became a prominent Boston merchant, dealing chiefly in dry goods which he imported from the mother country, and on July 11, 1673, he mar- ried Anne Glover, only daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Smith) Glover, of Dorchester. She was a niece of John Glover, one of the original settlers in Dorchester, and a man of prominence in the early history of the colony. In 1689 he moved to Dorchester, locating upon a portion of the "Newbury farm," inherited by his wife, and he subsequently removed to an estate in Braintree, which he purchased of the heirs of his great-uncle, the Rev. John Wilson. This estate, which is situated in the immediate vicinity of the Neponset bridge, adjoining the homestead of the late Hon. Jo- siah Quincy, he occupied for nearly forty years, or until his death, and it descended from father to son unto the fifth generation.

When a young man he settled in Sutton, New Hampshire, where he engaged in farming, and his death occurred in that town June II, 1814. He was a vigorous his- torical writer, possessing superior mental at- tainments, which were fully developed by his studious habits and profound erudition, and it was said of him that "his memory was a vast storehouse of facts always at his command." In his latter years he favored the Quakers, adopting their dress and form of worship, and he named one of his sons for Marmaduke Stephenson, a persecuted Salem Quaker, who was released from prison on a warrant signed by his distinguished ancestor, Secretary Ed- ward Rawson. In 1756 he married Sarah Chase, daughter of Hon. Samuel Chase, of Cheshire, New Hampshire. She died Novem-

(V) Captain Samuel, fourth son and eighth child of Ebenezer and Sarah (Chase) Raw- son, was born in Sutton, September 4, 1771, and died January 29, 1829. Learning the saddlery and upholstering business, he estab- lished himself at Grafton, Massachusetts, but in 1804 came to Maine, and settling in Paris he resided there for the rest of his life, which terminated January 29, 1829. During the war of 1812-15 he served as a lieutenant of an artillery company engaged in the defense of Portland, and he afterwards acquired the title of captain. He was highly esteemed for his genial disposition, was of an investigating turn of mind and fond of arugment. In May, 1802, he married Polla Freeland, born in Sut- ton, Massachusetts, September 17, 1778, died August 29, 1875, aged ninety-seven years, daughter of Dr. James Freeland, of that town.

dent at Waterville (now Colby) College, and after graduating from Union College in 1844 he entered the legal profession, settling in Bangor, and becoming the law partner of the late Hon. Henry E. Prentiss. He was sub- sequently chosen register of probate, and still later was appointed collector of customs for the port of Bangor. For many years he prac- ticed his profession successfully in Bangor, and was noted for his ability, integrity and other sterling characteristics. For a number of years he was a member of the board of al- dermen, and in 1877 represented his district in the Maine legislature. March 9, 1858, he married Sarah Deborah, born February 9, 1831, daughter of Thomas and Mary (True) Tenness. of Bangor. Their children are: 1. Mary Jenness, born October 16, 1859. 2. Abbie Jenness, February 16, 1865.


MAYNARD The immigrants of this cog- nomen. evidently of French extraction, came from Eng- land to Massachusetts in the pioneer days of the colony. More than one of the name were pioneers, but from John, the progenitor of the line sketched below, descended the greater number of those now bearing the name in New England.


(I) John Maynard, a native of England, came to Massachusetts and was an inhabitant of Sudbury in 1630. He probably brought with him a wife and one child or more. He had a house lot of four acres on the North street near Edmund and Henry Rice. He was a petitioner for Marlborough in 1656. He died in Sudburv. December 10. 1672. He married (second) June 14, 1646, Mary Ax- dell, probably a daughter of Comfort Starr. By the first wife he had one child John, born in England in 1630. The children by the sec- ond wife were: Zachery. Elizabeth, Lydia. Hannah and Mary.


(II) Zachery, eldest son of John and Mary (Axdell) Maynard, born in Sudbury, Tune 7, 1647. lived and died there in 1724. He mar- ried, in 1678, Hannah Goodrich. who died in 1719. She was the daughter of John Good- rich. of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Their children were: Zachariah, John, Hannah, Jonathan, David, Elizabeth, Joseph, Moses and Abigail.


(III) Jonathan, fourth child and third son of Zachery and Hannah ( Goodrich) Maynard, born in Sudbury, April 8, 1685, died July, 1753. He was a weaver bv trade, but fol- lowed the usual custom of the day and culti- vated the soil. May 29, 1713, he bought of


Jolin Town a farm of one hundred and ninety acres on "the plain." He also bought land up as far as Ball's bridge and became an inn- keeper. He married, December 10, 1714, Me- hitable Needom (or Needham), of Cambridge, who died October 19, 1767. Their children were: Mehitable, Jonathan, Zachariah, John, Joseph and William.


(IV) Jonathan (2), eldest son and second child of Jonathan ( I) and Mehitable (Need- ham) Maynard, born in Framingham, Jan- uary 1, 1718, died in 1782. He took the west part of his father's farm, and there erected buildings. He married (first) November II, 1742, Martha, daughter of John Gleason ; (second) Widow Sarah (Muzzey) Hill, of Sherburne. His children, probably by the first wife, were: William and Jonathan.


(V) William, son of Jonathan (2) and Martha (Gleason) Maynard, born March 29, 1745, lived on his father's farm. He was a minute-man in 1775; was a lieutenant in Cap- tain Drury's company of Colonel Nickerson's regiment of eight months' men; was at the battle of Bunker Hill, was wounded there, and carried to his grave the bullet he received in the hip. He was afterwards made a cap- tain and served through the revolution. He was a school teacher, and about 1788 went to South Carolina, where he "kept school," and died there. He married Mary, a daughter of Benjamin Pepper. She died March 12, 1780. Their children were: John, Martha, Mary, Benjamin, William and Thomas.


(VI) John, eldest child of William and Mary (Pepper) Maynard, born in Framing- ham, Massachusetts, October 3, 1766, died in Scarborough, Maine, September 6, 1818. When a youth he went to St. Croix, West In- dies, and there met and married Mary Durant, who was born in the Island of St. Croix in 1771. She was the daughter of Thomas Du- rant, then in business in St. Croix. He was a lineal descendant of George Durant, who came to this country from England and settled in Connecticut in 1633. He was of Huguenot extraction, the family having originally gone to England from France. After his marriage Mr. Maynard remained in St. Croix until 1800, and accumulated a fortune. Returning to this country with his wife and several chil- dren, he took up his residence in Bulfinch street, Boston, where his wife died in 1812. In Boston Mr. Maynard met with financial re- verses, and was obliged to break up his home there. In 1806 he sold to William Henderson the store property by Warren's bridge, and removed to Scarboro with his family, where


307

he resided on a farm which had been the prop- erty of his wife.


(VII) Maria Cornelia Durant, child of John and Mary (Durant) Maynard, born in Boston, June 18, 1808, married Neal Dow, of Portland (see Dow X).


The name of Libby seems to have


LIBBY come to America from the west of England, probably Cornwall or Devon, and in the ancient records and in pres- ent use has about the same number of varia- tions in its orthography as most other sur- names. The family has been distinguished rather for those substantial virtues that make their possessor happy in himself and helpful to mankind, rather than by the possession of wealth and those more showy and less laud- able characteristics not unfrequently in evi- dence to every observer of men. As a family the Libbeys have been respected by their neighbors as men of sterling worth, and up- rightness and honesty of character. They have generally belonged to that law abiding class which forms the bone and muscle of the na- tion, content to render the wise efforts of others effective by a hearty support, and will- ing to concede all the glory to the leader. The family numbers its revolutionary soldiers by scores, and many hundreds risked their lives for their country in the war of the rebellion. In Maine alone there were two hundred and fifty-six enlistments. They are, as a family, very devout, and have figured much more largely in the religious than in the civil insti- tutions of the communities in which they have lived. The family has abounded in christian ministers, elders and deacons, while generation after generation has died in the faith. Very few have been guilty of bringing any re- proach upon the name, and even in Maine, where the family is so numerous as to rank with the Smiths and Browns, it has been re- marked by many that they never knew of a criminal or a pauper named Libby.


(I) John Libby, born in England about the year 1602, came to New England and was employed in the fisheries by Robert Trelaw- ney, who has a grant of land embracing Rich- mond's Island and other land about Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The records of this indus- try show that John Libby was in the employ of Trelawney four years from the summer of 1635 to the summer of 1639. He had a grant of land in Scarborough, on the bank of a stream since called Libby river, and there built a house. Here he is supposed to have di- vided his time between fishing and agricul-


ture. In 1663 he is described in a document as a "planter," and in the history of Scar- borough he is said to have been "for many vears one of the town's principal planters." He was constable in 1664, and his name stands first of the four selectmen in a town grant bearing date 1669. In King Philip's war (1675) he lost everything he had except his plantation. Captain Joshua Scattow's diary says: "Eight or nine deserted houses belonging to Libby and his children" were burned by the Indians September 7, 1675. John Libby and his wife and younger children were in Boston, July 10, 1677, and on his pe- tition at that time his two sons, Henry and An- thony, were discharged from Black Point gar- rison. He probably soon after returned to Black Point, his old home in Maine, where he acquired a comfortable property, and died at the age of eighty years. He had two wives. Of the first nothing is known except that she was the mother of all of his sons except Mat- thew and Daniel, and probably all his daugh- ters. Of the second nothing is known but her christian name, which was Mary. The chil- dren of John Libby, probably all born in this country except the eldest, were: John, James, Samuel. Joanna, Henry, Anthony. Rebecca, Sarah, Hannah, David, Matthew and Daniel.


(II) Henry, fourth son and fifth child of John Libby. the immigrant, born in Scarbor- ough in 1647, died October 2. 1732, aged eighty-five years. He was a man of energy and good business qualifications, and was one of the board of selectmen of Scarborough in 1686. In 1690. with Peter Hinkson and their families, he made his escape to Lynn, Massa- chusetts, at the time of the Indian hostilities. He was one of the company which first at- tempted to re-settle their possessions. Tradi- tion says that this company made their way in a sloop from Lynn, and built a garrison on Prout's Neck. which was successfully defend- ed against a force of five hundred French and Indians. Henry Libby and his sons were all present at the first town meeting in 1720. He and John Boden were selected to show the old highways to the selectman. In September, 1728, at the age of eighty-one, he became a member of the Congregational church at Black Point, which had just been organized by Rev. William Thompson. Henry Libby married Honor Hinkson, daughter of Peter Hinkson, whose plantation joined his father's. She died August 24, 1724, aged sixty. Their chil- dren were: Mary, Samuel, Sarah, James, Hannah. Elizabeth, and John, who is the sub- ject of the next sketch.

(III) Captain John (2), youngest child of Henry and Honor ( Hlinkson) Libby, was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, probably soon after the year 1700. He removed with his father from Lynn to Scarborough, and settled on a farm on Oak Hill. He was unusually able and energetic, and repeatedly filled the most important offices in town. He was appointed "to locate Black Point School," and "to in- spect the law relative to the killing of Deer." He was also a surveyor of land, and succeeded in a measure to the position which his brother, Lieutenant Samuel, had filled. The Massa- chusetts archives show that John Libby or Libbee was lieutenant of the Ninth Company of the Second Massachusetts Regiment, whereof the Hon. Samuel Waldo, Esquire, was colonel in the army under the command of the Hon. William Pepperell, Esquire, for an expedition against the French settlement on Cape Breton, and commissioned February 16, 1744. Also, that John Libby or Libbee was captain in Colonel Jedediah Bibb's regi- ment in 1758 in the Crown Point expedition, serving nine months and twenty-six days. A roll dated Boston, January 10, 1759, shows "Captain John Libbee, eleven days travel from Scarborough to Boston and return, and for fifteen days expense, while making up the roll, amounting to £3, 6s 6d." His death was the result of an accident. While fishing with two others in a small boat near the mouth of the Nonesuch river, the boat was upset and all were precipitated into the water. Captain Libby, though an expert swimmer, never rose. The two others escaped, and the manner of his death gave rise to suspicion of foul play. He married (first) June 15, 1728, Mary, daughter of William and Deliverance (Tay- lor) Goodwin, of Berwick. After her death he married (second) August 24, 1738, Anna, daughter of Captain Daniel and Anna (Hans- com) Fogg, of Scarborough. His children by Mary his first wife were: Henry, Hannah, Lucy and Edward; those by his second wife were : Rhoda and Abner (twins), Olive, Ste- phen, Moses and Aaron (twins), Jesse, Phile- mon, Eunice and Seth.


(IV) Stephen, fourth child and second son of Captain John (2) and Anna (Fogg) Libby, was born in Scarborough, January 13, 1743, and received a part of his father's homestead, on which he settled and was a farmer. About 1814 he went with his son John A. to Liming- ton, and died there August 24, 1820. He mar- ried, October 17, 1765, Margaret, born 1744, daughter of Moses Miller, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She died December 31,


1794. Their children were: Abner, Moses, Stephen, Henry, Elias, Mary, Margaret, Nicholas, and George Washington, John Ad- ams, and Benjamin Franklin (triplets).


(V) Abner, eldest child of Stephen and Margaret (Miller) Libby, born in Scarbor- ough, December 27, 1766, died there May 5, 1843. He was what would now be termed an "all-around" man ; turned his hand to any- thing that required his attention, and "for many years he filled a larger place in the com- munity in which he lived than probably any other of the townsmen." In his younger days he made several voyages to the West Indies, and then took up the blacksmith's trade. In 1792 or the following year he settled at Lim- ington Corner, on a farm, and built a shop and for years worked at blacksmithing. Sub- sequently he carried on a general store and kept a tavern. The first school in Limington was taught by him. From 1793 to 1800 he was town clerk; 1794 to 1802 selectman ; 1804 to 1809 town treasurer. For about forty years he was a justice of the peace, and as there was no lawyer at that place for many years, he did much business of a legal na- ture. Abner Libby married, November 15, 1789, Anna Harding, born August 30, 1767, daughter of a Cape Cod coaster who settled at Mt. Desert. She died December 30, 1857, aged ninety years. Their children were: Elias, Parmenio, Stephen, Abner, Margaret, John, Betsey, Pettingill, Charlotte Neal and Isaac Harding.


(VI) Rev. Elias, eldest child of Abner and Anna (Harding) Libby, was born in Scarbor- ough, March 12, 1790, and attained manhood in Limington, where he learned the black- smith's trade in his father's shop. Soon after his marriage he removed to Limington, where he carried on blacksmithing and carriage- making, and also kept a large general store. "In 1821 the Free Will Baptists held their first meetings in the central part of Limerick, and Elias Libby soon became the leader of the movement. The next year a church of thirty members was formed, and he, having been or- dained a preacher, first took charge of it. He continued to be an active elder of that denom- ination throughout his life. He was instru- mental in establishing a paper called The Morning Star, which was published by him and others for many years in Limerick, in the interest of the Free Will Baptists, and is still continued in Dover, New Hampshire." In en- ergy, business capacity and public spiritedness he much resembled his father, and like him took the lead in public affairs, but never as-

pired to office. His long life of usefulness closed at Limerick, April 2, 1871, when he was in his eighty-second year. Elias Libby married (first) November 28, 1809, Jane Jew- ell, born on Fox Island, August 27, 1789, died December 27, 1852. Married (second) Han- nah McGraw. The children by his first wife were : Harrison Jewell, Francis Orville, James Brackett, Jane F., Susan Ann, Elizabeth C., Roxanna and Elias Osgood. He had by his second wife: Georgia, now deceased.


(VII) James Brackett, third son and child of Rev. Elias and Jane (Jewell) Libby, born in Limerick, August 1, 1816, died in Port- land, March 26, 1889, aged seventy-three years. He was a clerk in his father's store for many years. Later he started in business for himself in Limerick, where he remained until 1846, when he became a member of the firm of H. J. Libby & Company of Portland, wool commission merchants, and settled in that city. For many years he was in charge of the branch house in New York, where since 1862 most of the business of the firm has been done. He was identified with many business corporations, in several of which he was a member of the directorate, two of which were the International Steamship Company, and the Harper Manufacturing Company. He was president of the latter. In politics he was a Republican. For nearly forty years he was a member of the High Street Congregational Church of Portland, and was one of its most representative communicants and most liberal supporters. He married, April 19, 1839, at Limerick, Maine, Hannah Catherine, born in Kennebunk, August 12, 1819, daughter of Moses and Mary (Wise) Morrill ( see Morrill and Wise). She died May 2, 1879. The children of this union were: I. Mary Cath- erine, born June 1, 1840, married, June 5, 1866, Clarence Hamilton Corning, iron mer- chant, Albany, New York; he died July 12, 1879. One child, Howard, was born of this marriage. 2. Augustus Frost, born Novem- ber 16, 1841, see forward. 3. Charles Free- man, born January 31, 1844, see forward.


(VIII) Augustus Frost, eldest son of James B. and Hannah C. (Morrill) Libby, was born November 16, 1841. He prepared for college in Portland high school, and graduated from Bowdoin in 1864. In the same year he went to New York City and entered the employ of the firm of H. J. Libby & Company, becom- ing a member of the concern in 1869, and in 1891, upon the death of H. J. Libby, became senior partner of the firm. The firm of H. J. Libby & Company was established in 1844 by
