Excerpt from The Libby Family in America: 1602-1881 The lack of records in the early generations, which is very obvious when compared with genealogies of Massachusetts families, is a common defect in Maine genealogies. No record of the birth or death of any member of the family was made, so far as is now known, until after the rise of the eighteenth century. N 0 deaths, and only four births, oc curring in the seventeenth century, are found recorded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
