"He was born in Scarborough and accompanied his father to Portsmouth in 1690. He was a mechanic,and we find him mentioned at different times as housewright, millwright, and wheelwright. He, with his uncle Matthew Libby, and others, went down to Scarborough and built a sawmill some years before 1720, and in the winter of 1729-30 he transferred his residence thither, and settled on the original homestead of his grandfather. He was part owner in, and probably the builder of, the gristmill on Libby River, a little below the bridge, afterwards known as Fogg's mill. He acquired the title of Captain in New Hampshire and always retained it."
