(III) Daniel, fifth of the seven

LIBBY sons of John (2) and Agnes Lib- by, was born in Scarborough, probably about 1678, and died a young man, shortly before June 12, 1712. He was a- car- penter and dwelt in Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire. He married Elizabeth Kirke, a sister of his brother John's wife. She married ( sec- ond), November 10, 1724, Daniel Meder, "a friend," and died before October, 1735. Their four children were: Daniel, William, Abigail and Samuel.

(IV) William, second son of Daniel and Elizabeth (Kirke) Libby, born Portsmouth, New Hampshire, about 1702, died in 1752. In 1727 or 1728 he removed from Berwick, Maine, to Scarborough, and thence seven years later to Falmouth, where he settled on the Presumpscot river. He married, October 29, 1725, Elizabeth Goodwin, daughter of William and Deliverance (Taylor) Goodwin, of Berwick, who survived him. Their chil- dren were: Lydia, Abigail, Joseph, Samuel and Daniel.

(V) Joseph, eldest son of William and Elizabeth (Goodwin) Libby, born Scarbor- ough, March 24, 1732, died February 5, 1801. He grew up in Falmouth, and about 1760 re- moved to Gorham. After residing for a time on Queen street, he bought the water privi- lege and mill at Horse Beef Falls, and there operated a sawmill. He married (first), Jan- uary 7, 1758, Mary Huston; (second), April 4, 1782, Hannah Hanson, of Windham. She outlived her husband some years. Mary (Huston) Libby left seven children : Dorcas, Mary, John, William, Sarah, Charlotte and Joseph. One child, Mary, was born of Han- nah (Hanson) Libby.

(VI) Joseph (2), third son of Joseph (I) and Mary (Huston) Libby, born Gorham, Maine, June 13, 1780, died at the residence of his son Daniel, April 2, 1843. He was a house carpenter and farmer. He lived at first on a five-acre lot on which the house of Lewis Brockett now stands, and afterward settled on a farm in North Gorham. He married, June 24, 1801, Mercy Whitney, daughter of Joseph and Mehitable (Stevens) Whitney, of Gorham. She died at the residence of her son Edmund in Portland, May 22, 1860. She was a revolutionary war prisoner. The chil- dren of this union were: Roxanna, Harriet, Stephen, Ansel, Edmund, William and Daniel.

(VII) Stephen, eldest son of Joseph (2) and Mercy (Whitney) Libby, born Gorham, May 27, 1810, died July 4, 1882. He was a

shoemaker, but always lived on a farm. About a year before his marriage, he bought of Jo- seph Haskell the farm on which he ever af- terward lived. He married, December 13, 1831, Mary W. Lowe, daughter of Nicholas and Lovey (Leighton) Lowe. Children: I. Juliette E., single. 2. Adrianna, married Dan- iel C. Mellows, of Farmington; child: Fred B., died aged twenty years. 3. King Wilson, married Katherine Meserve (Brackett) ; no children. 4. Hattie A., married Charles L. McAllister (see McAllister II). 5. Winfield Scott, married Isora Hamblin; children : Ed- win, Fred, Lottie.

Mary W. Lowe was a member of a family of colonial origin. Stephen and Elizabeth (Woodbury) Lowe were residents of Cape Ann, Massachusetts, where they died. Nich- olas, son of Stephen and Elizabeth (Wood- bury) Lowe, was born at Cape Ann, was a seafaring man in his early days, and after leaving the sea immigrated from Cape Ann to Maine and became an early set- tler in North Yarmouth. Later he removed to Gray, where he engaged in agricultural pursuits, residing there until his death, which occurred when he was eighty years of age.

HUSSEY This family of Hussey, accord- ing to Burke, owes its origin to Hubert Hussey, a Norman no- ble who married the Countess Helen, daugh- ter of Richard, fifth duke of Normandy, who accompanied William the Conqueror to Eng- land and "was there granted the high office of Constable with considerable possessions." De- scendants of his held estates in Kent and Dor- set counties. Another descendant, Sir Hugh, went to Ireland in 1316 and from him de- scended the barons of Gattrim and Beaulieu- two Irish families. An ancestral chart traces the Irish line back to 1010 and shows the form of the name to be De Hoese or Hoese until 1332. Burke also states that "the father of Lord John Hussey who was ennobled by Henry VIII and executed for high treason during that monarch's reign, was William Hussey or Huse, indicating a common origin, Norman, and that the name was originally Hoese or De Hoese." English records show that John Hussey, of Dorking county, Surrey, England, married Mary Wood or Woodin. They were apparently people of good standing and had a family of children: John, who died young; Christopher and several daugh- ters.

(I) Christopher Hussey, emigrant ancestor, was probably the second son of John and

Mary (Woodin) Hussey, and was born in Dorking, England, in 1598. The records show the baptism of the "son of John of Dork- ing February 18, 1599." Christopher was probably among the parishioners of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, who went to Holland to avoid persecutions. He married about this time Theodate, daughter of Rev. Stephen Bachiler, and soon after they emigrated to America, sailing from Southampton in May, 1630, arriving at Charlestown, Massachusetts, July 23. He settled first at Lynn with his wife and widowed mother, Mary Hussey, who probably accompanied them from England. Christopher was later prominent in Newbury, Massachusetts. He was representative in 1637, and in 1638 was one of the first settlers in Hampton, New Hampshire. Among the grantees of that town were names "Christo Hussey" and "widow May Hussey," presum- ably his mother and the widow of John of Dorking, England. The son Christopher was influential in the towns of Hampton. He was the first deacon of the church, captain of the militia, town clerk, selectman and representa- tive and was one of the commissioners named in the charter when New Hampshire was made a royal province. He sold his property at Hampton in 1650 and moved to Hampton Falls. In 1659 he became one of the pur- chasers of Nantucket and subsequently com- manded an ocean vessel. It is stated that "he was lost at sea on the coast of Florida in 1685, aged eighty-seven years." (Possibly refers to another. ) The death of Theodate Hussey is recorded October 20, 1649, but whether it re- fers to his wife or daughter is not clear. Christopher married (second) December 9, 1658, Ann, widow of Jeffry Mingay, who died June 24, 1680, and he survived her nearly six years. The date of his death is given March 6, 1686, which conflicts slightly with the state- ment above. Children of Captain Christopher and Theodate were: Stephen, Joseph, John, Mary, Theodate and Huldah. (The son John was the second white child born in Lynn, Mas- sachusetts, and the first baptized in America by Rev. Stephen Bachiler.)

(II) Stephen, eldest son of Captain Chris- topher and Thoeodate ( Bachiler) Hussey, was born about 1632. He eventually settled in Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he died April 2, 1718. Before his marriage he lived at Bar- badoes, West Indies, and became possessed of considerable wealth. He was representative to the Massachusetts general court from Nan- tucket, and a member of the Society of Friends. His marriage to Martha, daughter

(III) Bachiler or Bachelder, second son of Stephen and Martha (Bunker) Hussey, was born in Nantucket, February 18, 1685, where he resided for many years, removing thence to Biddeford, Maine. He was probably en- gaged in the coasting trade with the West In- dies. He married, October 11, 1704, Abigail Hall (Hampton, New Hampshire records). Children, born in Hampton, were: Christo- pher, Mary, Jedediah (daughter) and John. Other children were born in Nantucket or Biddeford.

The origin of this surname is WYMAN German or Saxon, although the American families are descend- ed from English stock of ancient pedigree. The English family Wymond is evidently of the same original stock, as the coat-of-arms is the same. The German spelling was Wey- mann, and the spelling varies, some of the forms being Wiman, Wyman, Wymond, Wi- mond, etc.

(I) Francis Wyman, English ancestor, lived in the parish of Westmill, county Hertford, where he died in 1658. He was a farmer, and a man of some property. His will, dated Sep- tember 15, 1658, proved February 14, 1659, bequeathed to wife Jane; to two sons, Francis and John Wyman, "who are beyond the sea, ten pounds apiece of lawful English money," to be paid to them if they be in want and come over to demand the same. The sons never had the legacies, both being prosperous citi- zens of Woburn, Massachusetts. He also be- queathed to his sister, Susan Huitt, widow. He left his homestead to his son Thomas, who was likewise the residuary legatee. He mar- ried, at Westmill, May 2, 1617, Elizabeth Richardson, doubtless related to the three brothers who with Wyman were the founders of Woburn. She was buried June 22, 1630, and he married, second, Jane --- -, buried July 12, 1656. He was buried September 19, 1658. Children : I.

He came to America with his brother John Wyman before 1640, when he was one of the signers of the town orders of Woburn. Their homes were near the town site of Wo- burn, and the house of Francis, built in 1664, is still standing. It was used as a garrison during King Philip's war, and the loopholes for purposes of defense may still be seen. It is now owned by the Wyman Associates, and the descendants of the two brothers hold their annual reunion in it. The brothers also owned houses in the village, opposite the present park, at the junction of Main and Wyman streets ; their tannery was located at that point, and the vats yet exist, buried several feet below the surface. The gravestone of Francis Wy-

KENSELL

This unusual surname has found a place in the nomen- clature of this state within a

comparatively few years. The immigrant bearer of it took his place among the farmers of the country, and raised a family who took their places well up among the children of the old families of the state.

Dexter Waterman, second son of Fritz and Sarah (Turner) Kensell, was born in White- field, February 8, 1836, and died in Portland, September 20, 1898. He attended the com- mon schools a few years and then became a typographer in the office of the Kennbec Jour- nal, at Augusta, where he was employed some years. Afterward he engaged in the produce commission business; and in 1861 became a partner with Jeremiah W. Tabor, under the firm name of Kensell & Tabor, dealers in flour, grain and feed in Portland. This business re- lation lasted till the death of the senior part- ner. Mr. Kensell was closely attentive to bus- iness and successful in making and saving money. He was a stockholder and also a di- rector in the Merchants' Bank. He voted the Republican ticket, but did not take part in local politics. He was a member of the Sec- ond Parish Church (Congregational). He was for years a member of Ancient Land-

mark Lodge, No. 17, Free and Accepted Ma- sons, of Portland. He married, in Readfield, March 1I, 1858, Mehitable Greeley Hutch- inson, who was born in Readfield, daughter of Joseph Johnson and Mary (Greeley) Hutchin- son. Mr. Hutchinson was for years the popu- lar and widely known landlord of the Hutchin- son House at Readfield Depot. He had two daughters: I. Caroline Stewart, who married Joseph E. Denton, of Braintree, Massachu- setts, and 2. Mehitable G., mentioned above, who is Mrs. Kensell.

Four brothers of this LITTLEHALE name came to America in or about the middle of the eighteenth century and settled in Tyngsboro, in the noble old Commonwealth of Massachu- setts. The town of Tyngsboro was begun in the way of settlement by Hon. Edward Tyngs, of Boston, in the seventeenth century, and the charter was granted to his son, Captain Jona- than. It originally included Dunstable and Tyngsboro, in Massachusetts ; Litchfield, Mer- rimack, Nashua, Hollis and Hudson, in New Hampshire, and was of much territorial conse- quence in those days, ere the excision of its ribs. Descendants of the Littlehales still re- side in Tyngsboro and are active in the coun- cils and affairs of the bailiwick.

(I) It was to this place with his other brothers came Isaac Littlehale, the parent stem of our family, from "merry old England"; and made a habitation and a name. Marrying Louise Stevens, he had five children : Joseph S., John, William, Mellen and Jacob Bailey.

(II) Jacob Bailey, fifth child and youngest son of Isaac and Louise (Stevens) Littlehale, was born in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts, March 28, 1802, and removed to Newry, Oxford county, Maine. He married a Miss Bailey, of Winthrop, Maine, and had these children : David B., William H., Dorcas, Sarah D., Thomas B., Jacob Bailey, Joseph G., John F., Alanson M., Asenath W. and Charles.

(III) Jacob Bailey (2), sixth child and fourth son of Jacob Bailey (I) Littlehale, was born at Newry, Maine, December 4, 1828, and died September 7, 1900. He was a sub- stantial farmer and prominently identified with the affairs of the town, holding the office of chairman of the board of selectmen, which in a country town is a criterion by which to judge of a man's importance politically and socially. No man holds that trying and exacting office for a series of years as Mr. Littlehale did un- less he has shown an aptitude and capacity for the discharge of its varied duties and given

a good account of his stewardship. He mar- ried Mary S., daughter of Samuel Bean, of Bethel, Maine. They have two children : Leslie Newton and Margeurite.

(IV) Leslie Newton, only son of Jacob Bailey (2) and Mary S. (Bean) Littlehale, was born in Newry, Maine, December 15, 1862. Educated in the rudimentary branches at the local school, he finished his educational equipment at Bethel Academy. At sixteen he began as clerk in a grocery store, remaining four years, and was in the same line of busi- ness in Bethel and Norway, Maine, afterward. In 1886 he went to Portsmouth, New Hamp- shire, thence to Collinsville, Connecticut, and finally to Laconia, New Hampshire, in the in- terest of the White Sewing Machine Company. In 1892 he came to Rockland, Maine, to repre- sent the Singer Sewing Machine Company, with which he remained two years, at the end of which time he embarked in business for himself as a merchant, dealing in grain, flour and agricultural implements, which business has grown to large proportions. He also con- ducts a grist mill in connection therewith. Mr. Littlehale is a Democrat in politics; was an alderman in the Rockland city government for three years, from ward five, and has been for some time trustee and treasurer of the Metho- dist Episcopal church. He married Mary L., daughter of John C. Blagden, January 25, 1894, and they have one child, Joyce Rebecca. His wife is an active worker in benevolent, social and musical circles ; she is vice-president of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist church, a member of Rubenstein and Mendel- sohn clubs, and was brought up in and is an active member now of the Methodist church of which she for a long time was organist. Mr. Littlehale is also of a musical turn, and possesses a fine tenor voice, singing for years in the Methodist choir. He is a most genial man to meet, popular, magnetic and demo- cratic, and one of the most agreeable of com- panions. His easy familiarity wins him hosts of friends, and by his unquestioned worth of character and unimpeachable honesty he cem- ents these friendships to him with a strong bond of attachment.
