Book Title: History Of Durham, Maine

LIBBY.

   Jonathan Libby, Jr. was born in Gray 31 Jan. 1812. He was descended from John
Libby, born in England in 1602, settled in Scarborough about 1635. Jonathan
Libby married 27 Dec. 1838 Matilda S. Bacon and lived in N. Yarmouth before
moving to Durham in 1847. He was a cooper and engaged in business with E. Dow.
He was Representative to the Legislature in 1869. He was a man highly esteemed
for honesty and integrity of character. His affiliations were with the
Universalist Church, but when that church had no service, he could always be
seen on Sunday at the Union Church. He was a Republican, and that meant in his
day a friend of temperance and freedom. His wife died 17 Dec. 1876.  The
children were all born in N. Yarmouth.
