Michael Philbrick Son of Capt. Zachariah Philbrick Sprague's Journal of Maine History Vol. 6 May, June, July 1918 No. 1 page 33 Michael Philbrick Son of Capt. Zachariah Philbrick (Contributed by Prof. Windsor P. Daggett, U. of M., Orono, Me.) Rev. Jacob Chapman's "A Genealogy of the Philbrick and Phil- brook Families," page 24, gives an incomplete and an incorrect account of the descendants of Michael Philbrick. The following record, found among the manuscripts of the late Thomas C. Shaw of Standish, is probably a revised account which followed the pub- lication of Chapman's book. As Shaw was a descendent of the Philbrick family and as the Shaw household was a storehouse of family history, this record comes from a reliable source. It is probably published here for the first time. "Michael Philbrick.-Seventh child of Capt. Zachariah Phil- brick; b. in Newbury, Mass., Nov. 10, 1734. Wife, Mary -, lived in Hampton, N. H. Then was an original settler in Parsons- field, Me., about 1762; afterwards in Standish. In 1803, he re- moved with his family to Thorndike, Me., Where he died in 1813, aged about 79.
