William Joseph Libby

cevans169 — 2009-10-19 03:20:05Z

I am searching for the descendants of my great uncle William Joseph Libby. William was born April 5, 1883 in Kensington, London, England. He married Millicent Alicia Inall and had several children; Lily, Edith, Daisey, Ivy, William, Herbert, Thomas, Julia and Jack.

Any information you may have would be appreciated.

Wealthy Townsend (ca. 1808-alive 1885) was the daughter of Asa Townsend (1774-alive 1854) and Huldah Barstow who left Massachusetts for first Lower Canada and then Upper Canada in about 1802. They lived in Etobicoke Twp., near what became Toronto until 1812 when they moved to Westminster Township near what is now London, Ontario. The Townsends relocated to the Ausable River in what later became Bosanquet and Williams Townships in Lambton and Middlesex Counties respectively in 1822 and remained there until the 1850s. Wealthy probably had a brother or half-brother named Ezekiel (ca 1821-1862).

Hello Vern,
Your Addie Libby is listed, with her birth date and the birth dates of 4 children, in "The Libby Family in America" on page 444.
She was Libby Generational #1-1-3-9-1-4-4.
Her ancestry back to John "the Immigrant" Libby is documented in the book.
The "jlibby" database and the John Libby Family WebSite have more info you should see.
If you would like more info about all of this, send me an e-mail or US Postal address where it can be sent.

Actually they had 10 children. His wife's name was Philippa Maynard
I have more info on this Libby line.

Re: John Libby and Philippa Maynard

mttswd — 2009-04-13 13:27:05Z

Hi Bill, as I was doing some research, I have found out that we are related. Your father was my ggg grandfather's son which was Richard and Sarah Elizabeth Nightingale.
Please help in any way you can.

Re: John Libby and Philippa Maynard

mttswd — 2009-04-13 13:22:19Z

Hi, These are my GGGG grandparents. I do have the line of all the Libby's from that point that are listed. I did hit a brick wall on this though, as I am not able to find any siblings of this John Libby and Philippa Maynard has a brother John Maynard as of the death of her husband, but some of the sites I looked into does not list any siblings of Philippa. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

My mother was Dorothy Hannaford from Lewiston Maine she married Ernest Libby form Lewiston/Auburn I was very young when we used to visit relatives in Lewiston. I heard my Grandmother was a sargent in the Salvation Army. I believe my grandmothers maiden name was Davis. My mother had a brother named William called Willy. Any info would be helpful

Family motto..?

boxedschizo — 2009-01-28 15:16:07Z

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows the Libby family motto? I've always been kinda curious about it but only really started looking recently, although so far it doesn't seem to exist =s

Just wondered if anyone knew it?

Re: Paul Everard Libby - California, China, Oregon, Washington

DA_Harding — 2008-12-02 16:28:22Z

Wow!! What a quick reply! Thank you.
This offers new information as well as new leads. My goal is to contact a family member who 1) may have informal stories to share and 2) pictures that would add to the story. Is the source and date of this Libby information known? If not, I will nonetheless pursue the new leads.

Hopefully I am not asking too much: Does the Libby Association also have information on Dr. Harold Earl Libby (1920-1973)? Harold's grandfather was a brother to Walter's father. Although Harold was not a native to Lincoln, he practiced in Lincoln, Maine from 1937 to 1946 and qualifies for inclusion in the same, next publication of the society.

Again, thank you very much. Each puzzle piece helps. - Dottie

Paul Everard Libby - California, China, Oregon, Washington

DA_Harding — 2008-12-02 05:58:22Z

Paul Everard Libby was born January 1, 1922 in Los Angeles, the second child of Lucille Tretheway and Dr. Walter E. Libby, missionaries in China.
Paul married Mary Elizabeth Acheson, had children who were born in Salem, Oregon, and settled in Portland, Oregon.
He retired from the State Highway Department in 1977 and was listed in Public Records as late as 2008, an indication he may still be alive.

The Lincoln (Maine) Historical Society's book committee would like to contact Paul, descendents, extended family or friends to better complete the biography of Dr. Walter E. Libby, a Lincoln native, in their next publication.
The lives of Libby's five children after China and their children would be frosting on the cake.
Thank you.

Wow! I just got lucky!
I was looking for something totally un-related to this and .... , I spotted a link to the book "Forests and Clearings" - on-line - FREE!
It is at: http://www.ourroots.ca/f/toc.aspx?id=880
Enjoy,

Re: Looking for Leila Libby & David Curtis ancestors,Vermont & Quebec

Sanro07 — 2008-08-12 00:53:42Z

Hi Allen
I almost forgot about searching for the book, Forests and Clearings that you mentioned.
In your message of April 8, you mentioned the marriage of Lelia Libby to James McFadgean and thought the marriage to David Curtis could have been a second marriage.
Today, I received the marriage information from the 1881 Methodist Church,Sherbrooke,Québec for two Libby sisters who married the 10 November 1881. There is Liley M. Libby,dau.of James and Sarah who married James McFadgean and Lelia S. Libby,dau.of James and Sarah who married David Curtis the same day. Their brother, Freeman J. Libby was a witness.
As I thought, there were two sisters, possibly twins since their names are so similar.

Hopefully one of these days I will find a copy of the book you mentioned.

I thought you would appreciate hearing about these marriages.

Sandy

JAMTWIN — 2007-10-12 15:41:54Z

Hi Rayanne

Thank you for the info.

My line goes through Stephen Richard Libby and Mary Elizabeth Mowatt.
Stephen and your Asa were brothers.

Stephen and Mary Mowatt had a daughter Ida Etta Libby who married Denis McGrath. Canadian archives have McGraw as name.
Ida and Denis moved to Lowell, Mass. in 1885 from St. Stephen, NB. They had a son Walter born 15 Oct 1888 in Lowell. He married Sarah Kelleher and had William Denis McGrath 20 Oct. 1916 (my father). He married Rose Eva Levesque in Lowell, Ma. They had me Joan McGrath in 1945. I have a twin sister June. I married Roger Landry in 1966.
This is our connection to each other.

I'm having trouble with the Mowatt line. Canadian records have McGraw for name, not McGrath. Records were spelled back then as pronounciation.
Stay in touch, Joan

Re: Libby-canada

JAMTWIN — 2007-09-23 15:31:19Z

Hi Rayanne

Thanks for the reply. We are related. I have all the names you listed. James was not married to Georgiana. He marriedSarah Logan on Nov. 19 1871, and died on May 9, 1921 in St. Stephen. Susan was born on March 2, 1867 and married William John Rolls.

David's middle name was Sedgfield. Do you have any info on Sedgfield. Noticed in your surnames you listed Sedgfield. Who were Zilpha and Mary Hunnewell's parents.
Do you have Mary Elizabeth Mowatt's parents.

Let's stay in touch and exchange info.

My ggg-grandfather's will mentions his grandchildren, Eva and Belle Libby. Trying to figure out who their parents were... Will was written in 1882 in Benton County, Iowa.

In case the said Mary Jane Rampton shall be dead at the decease of my said wife I give and devise the above

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for the info.
I will look more closely at the book and get the full name, author, publisher & date and send you that info.
Armed with that, maybe we can find a copy for you somewhere.
(Did you check with your local library or historical society?)
I am currently discussing your line, down to Lelia's father's brother, Gilman Libby, with another researcher.
I sent her a copy of what you posted and suggested that she get in touch with you.

Re: Looking for Leila Libby & David Curtis ancestors,Vermont & Quebec

AllenH — 2008-04-08 17:47:53Z

Hello Sandy,
Is there any chance that your David Curtis was Leila Libby’s SECOND husband ? ? ? ?
If so, I may have found data on her previous to that possible 2nd marriage. ? ? ? ?

In “The Libby Family in America” books, there is a Lelia Libby, born 24 Dec 1863. In the books, it is unclear whether she was born in the USA or Canada. The first book (on page 136) states that her father lived in Derby Line, VT (that is in Orleans Co.) for 10 years, but doesn’t specify when. He then moved, with no date stated, to “Libbytown”, Barnston, Stanstead, Quebec.
The second book also doesn’t state her place of birth.
“RootsWeb” and the LDS IGI have information stating that she was born in Derby Line, VT. I didn’t see any sign of the source of the submitter’s data.
“Forests and Clearings”, a book about the history of Stanstead, Quebec, has info on her parents, but nothing on her or her siblings. That book also confirms where her father lived but, also, doesn’t say when.
The 2nd (later) “Libby Family in America” book has data (on pages 18 & 60) showing her birth and her marriage to a James McFadgean. They had 3 children – Flora, James Jr., & Douglas.
None of the 3 books tell any more about this couple or their children.
This Lelia is in the 1881 Barnston, Quebec, Canada Census. At that time she was living with her parents.

In the “Forests and Clearings” book, there is a David Curtis listed in the Index. But, there is no page number given! ? ? ? ? So, one would have to read that book very slowly and carefully page-by-page to determine if there is really any information on him somewhere in the book or if it was an error.

So, we don’t know if the Lelia in the Libby books is your Leila or not.
But, you now have a possibility to chase.
I don’t have access to Canadian records other than the 1881 Census data on the LDS site.
If you can access Canadian data, try to find the death date for James McFadgean. If that occurred before 1901, then the Leila (Libby) Curtis listed in that Census may actually be Lelia (Libby) McFadgean in a 2nd marriage to your David Curtis. ? ? ? ?

Good luck chasing this!
I just wish that I could have been able to help you more!
Sincerely,
Allen E. Humphries

The only Information On William John Rolls and Susan Libby is that they had a child ;

Re: Libby-Canada

rayannewalton — 2007-09-23 19:16:25Z

Hi,

I only have a little information of a Lavina Faulkenham who married a Jacob Charles Libby and they have a child George Walter Libby Born 26 Nov 1868 ,,Mohannas, Charlotte Co. New Brunswick Canada. (NB archive records online )

Re: Libby-canada

rayannewalton — 2007-09-23 19:10:40Z

Hi ,

It is good to find another relative. First on the information I do have. The Hunnewell's

Johnathan Hunnewell, Born 13 Jun 1805 Durham Me.Died: 9 Nov 1884, Alexander Twp, Washington Co. Me. Buried: Alexander Town Cem. Married: 16 May 1829 Charlotte Co. New Brunswick

Susannah Hall (Hill) Born: 30 Jul 1811 St.Stephen parish, Charlotte Co. NB.
Note: There is a Susannah Hunnewell Buried beside Asa Libby in the Old Ridge Catholic Cem. St.Stephen, Char Co. I couldn't figure out why they are buried so close to each other. I thought it was the mother of Mary Elizabeth Hunnewell( Susannah), but I would imagine that this person should be buried near Johnathan Hunnewell. This must become clearer. She may even be another sister to Mary Elizabeth, this puzzle I need to figure out.
Children:Hunnewell

F) Susannah Rebecca: 3oct1830 St. Stephen NB
M) Andrew : 9Dec1832 " "
F)Mary Elizabeth : 28Jan1835 " " Spouse: Asa Libby, Married: 7Oct1859.
M) Calvin Jellison : 23Feb1837 " "
F) Zilpha Ann : 21May1839 calais Washington, Me. Spouse: Charles W.Libby Married: Calais Washington, Me.( 1901 Census #1843,522)
M) David Ebenezer :29may1842, Calais Me.
F) Diathna Eldna :5Apr1844 , Clais Me.
F) Elizabeth Caroline: 10Mar1847, Calais Me.
M) Benjamin Harris : 23Dec1848, Calais Me.
M) Charles Sidney : 1Feb1852, Calais Me.

Susannah Hall (Hill) Father: Martin Jellison Hall Born 11Feb1782, St. Stephen NB. ( this is 2nd Husband of mother)
Mother : Elizabeth Libby born: may 1783 died 1878
1st Husband is ? Emerson
I do have charles W. and Zilpha's info and one of the children John Harris Libby. so if you desire it let me know.

The name Sedgefield: came from online, the New Brunswick provicial Archives and the 1871 Census.

Stephen R. Libby Born 1846 according to the census: Spouse: Mary E. Mowatt.
Children: David Sedgefield Libby 4 May 1872 (St.Stephen )
Fred Marks Libby 24 Jan 1878 ( st. Stephen )
Ida Etta 19 May 1866 (Bay Road )
Susan M. 4 years in 1871
David L. 11mon (1871)
I would guess that the Sedgefield comes from Mary Mowatt's lines.
You mentioned James and Sarah Dorothy Logan (Dodgeridge) their children:

Bertha Ann Libby,Clara May Libby, Eldon Benneth Libby, Georgianna Libby, Henry Herbert Libby, Ida Blanche Libby and Lottie Estella Libby
Lottie Estella Libby has a girl Irene May Libby (father unknown )
I know this is alot of information. I hope this helps. But I have come to appreciate that the more you know that more you don't know.
How are you connected to me again so I better understand?
Rayanne.

Re: Libby-canada

rayannewalton — 2007-09-21 01:20:11Z

Hi Janette, Hi Sharon,

I'm glad to hear you are both still interested in the Americus Libby puzzle. I haven't found anything new but am still working on the theory that Americus was a son of Elijah and Celia (Tull) Libby and brother of Jeremiah, Cyrus and Hester Ann.

Keep up the good work!

No Jennifer..There is a Family there in Maine which is on our eastern tip which came from Belgium back in the early 1900's. Which part of France are you in ? My GGGrandfather was born there. It must be nice there. I hope some day to go there and get some pictures of the Bruyere castle and the other things that Bruyere families made, owned or ruled. It would be nice to see some of them and which families hold them. Would you happen to have the different Coat-of-Arms there that the Bruyere family holds.??? .

Re: Information on Libby Tree

randybruyere — 2006-11-25 18:29:22Z

So you are on the Eastern side..I heard it is very prety there. I always wanted to go to the Loire; The Grand Hotel Perrache is where I want to go for my wedding. As for Chateau Bruyere, I heard they were trying to sell it. There are many famous Bruyere citizens that came out of France as Jean De La Bruyere who was the infamous Moralist, Essayist and Richard Bruyere, Duke of Bruyeres born in the 13th Century who built the Bruyere Castle that is only remains today. I do my history:-) I resemble Jean Bruyere as the high forehead and the robust look; it is funny how we look so much alike. lolol. The posture he bore is a trademark for his stubbornness that also runs in the Bruyere genes. Maybe someday we will find the connection we are looking for.

Hello Allen

Thank you for your reply. Today I received information about the marriage of Lelia Libby and David Curtis.
The marriage was the 10 November, 1881 in North Hatley,Québec. At the time of this marriage,Lelia was about 17 or 18 years old.I would think this was her first marriage. Perhaps there were two Lelia's. Her father,James Libby was living in Libbytown,Barnston,as he is mentioned in the church record of death for David Curtis in 1902.
I would like to find a copy of the book you mentioned,
Forests and Clearings so I can read about the history of Stanstead.
Thank you again for your information. I found it very helpful.

Re: Looking for Leila Libby & David Curtis ancestors,Vermont & Quebec

Hi Allen
I know how you can get the 1901 census for Canada. Type in Automatedgenealogy.com. Then click on automatedgenealogy.com/censussurnamelist. The next page will say Automated Genealogy, click on census indices 1901 (upper right corner), then click which province you want. Then put the surname in the surname search box and click go..You should be able to find some information.
I put in the surname (Libby) and found James Libby,wife Sarah and a daughter May L. Libby and two grandchildren, James McFadzeon and Vernus T. McFadzeon in the same household. I'm not sure if the birth mother is May or perhaps another daughter. I know it's not Lelia,as she married David Curtis in November 1881 and they were married when David died in 1902...
You may be able to access the 1906 and 1911 census.
I hope you're able to find some information.
Good luck.

Hi Allen

There is a historical society in Stanstead,Qc. I'll contact them to see if they can help.
I have some more information to add. David Curtis and Lelia Libby's daughter, Sarah Bertha Curtis married Godfrey Beland on the 29th April 1903. It says Fiche,Québec. I'm not sure where Fiche is. I have heard of a Fitchbay. It could be a misspelling of the name. I'll have to look into this.
Thank you.
Sandy

Hi Rosalynn -
I too am searching the Libby Family.
My computer just crashed, but give me a few days to get all my backup info back into my computer and then I will search my files to see if I can help you with your names.

rootsma1 — 2006-11-27 04:51:38Z

Sorry Roz...I checked my database, and didn't find anything for you. I do have an Elsie Libby, but don't have any further info on her, so not sure if it's the same as yours or not.
