TIBBETTS.
1 NATHANIEL TIBBETTS settled in Townsend in all probability at the time that Joseph Giles did, about 1759. He was born Aug. 30, 1727. He married Elizabeth, dau. of Mark and Lydia (Tibbetts) Giles, all of Dover, N. H. She was born in 1729 and died Apr. 1, 1822. They built first a log house on what is known as the Mcclintock place in Dover, but later moved north and built where his son, Giles Tibbetts, afterward lived, the place still later going to Frank, son of Giles, Jr. The ancestry of Nathaniel Tibbetts is clear from the start on American soil.
I, Henry1 and Elizabeth Tibbetts, both born in 1596, in England, sailed at the age of 39, on July 13, 1635, with two children, Jeremiah, four years old, and Samuel, two, in the ship James, from London for New England. They are found in Dover, N. H., almost as soon as they reached Amer- ica. Four more children were born to them.
II, Jeremiah,2 b. 1631, son of Henry and Elizabeth, m. Mary Canney (an ancient form of spelling Kenney), of Dover. He was a farmer and d. in 1677. They had twelve children.
III, Samuel,8 sixth child of Jeremiah and Mary, b. 1666, m. Dorothy Tuttle, Dover. He was a tanner and farmer, and a captain in the Colonial army. He d. in 1738. They had nine children.
IV, Ichabod,4 b. 1690, fifth child of Samuel and Dorothy, m. his cousin, Abi- gail Tibbetts. He d. Feb. 25, 1746. He was a farmer and tanner, also a captain in the Colonial army and saw service in the early wars. He was father of eight chil., the fourth of which was Nathaniel, b. Aug. 30, 1727, the founder of the Boothbay branch of this numerous family.
It has been repeatedly stated that Nathaniel Tibbetts married Abigail Alley, but there is a misconception as to the parties. John Alley, founder of that family in town, was but little older than Nathaniel Tibbetts, Sr. His daughter Abigail was born in 1749, the same year that Nathaniel and Eliza- beth Tibbetts' oldest child, Ichabod, was born. Two of the sons, however, of the Tibbetts family married two of John Alley's daughters, which is con- sistent as to age and shown by record. Children:
