About Agnes Libby
PLEASE NOTE: Agnes, wife of John Libby Jr., was not a Hanson by birth. Her maiden name is unknown. Thomas Hanson of Dover, NH (d. 1666) and his wife, Mary, had six children: Tobias, Thomas, Isaac, Timothy, Elizabeth, and Mary -- names all confirmed in his Will. There was no daughter Agnes.
Agnes was likely born in Scarborough. She was married in 1668 to John Libby Jr. In March 1718, she and her husband both deposed about Joseph Winnock, a Scarborough resident who had been killed by Indians many years earlier.
-- Robert Hanscom, descendant of Agnes Libby (26 May 2015)

Genealogical and family history of the state of Maine, Volume 3 By Henry Sweetser Burrage, Albert Roscoe Stub
(II) John (2), eldest child of John (1) Libby by his first wife, was born probably in England, in the year 1636. He was brought up in Scarborough. In August, 1668, which was probably soon after his marriage, he bought fifty acres of land adjoining his father's plantation. There he probably lived during his sojourn at Black Point. Afterward he received several other grants from the town. The part he took in town business was active, and he served as selectman during the years 1670-74-83 and 1687. In May, 1690, while the settlement at Black Point was still ill equipped to repel an invader, Fort Loyal, on Casco Neck, a few miles north of Black Point, was attacked by a large body of Indians and French. The fort stood a siege of five days, and then surrendered, and the inhabitants of Scarborough, not waiting to be attacked, immediately deserted their homes and fled to safer localities. John Libby assembled his family and betook himself to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, his youngest son Jeremiah then being ten years old. Mr. Libby remained in Portsmouth the remainder of his life, and followed the occupation of miller. During the earlier part of his term of residence there he was often chosen to fill minor offices. In 1720, when he was very old, he made a deposition about early affairs in Scarborough. How much longer he lived after that is unknown. His wife's name was Agnes; she was living in 1717, but probably died before her husband. They had seven children, all born in Scarborough: John, Joseph, Samuel, James, Daniel, Benjamin and Jeremiah.
