Thanks to Cousin Katy in Tennesee, I was able to confirm that on

page cxlix of the Directory of Ancestral Heads of New England Families

1620-1700 compiled by Frank R. Holmes (Baltimore: Genealogical

Publishing Co., 1923) it states that "John Libby was born in England around 1602.

He came to New England from Broadstairs in the Isle of Thanet, County

Kent between 1630 and 1635. He went to Maine and was granted land in

Scarborough before 1640."

I have a copy of this book if anyone needs a little research done.  E-mail me the name you would like me to look up.
