Mephibosheth spent the entirety of his youth in Andover, Massachusetts. In 1713, in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, he married Mary Emmons from that town. He and his wife settled in Andover. In 1717, he sold 20 acres of land that his father had given him. Mephibosheth moved from Andover to Woburn, Massachusetts in April 1724. They stayed there for about 8 years and in April 1732, he purchased 30 acres of land in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. He probably moved there with his family at that time. He purchased more land in Shrewsbury in 1741. In 1742, he gave the original land he purchased in 1732 to his son Nathaniel. He sold land to his son-in-law Joseph French in 1746 and with his family wife sold more land in 1750.
In about 1761 or earlier, Mephibosheth moved with his son Daniel to Winchendon, Massachusetts, where he remained. Mephibosheth worked as a cordwainer (shoemaker). Over the years Mephibosheth's odd name was obviously as a source of confusion, different contemporary spellings include: Phebe, Phib, Mephib, Mephebesh, Febhesheth, Mepheb, Meb, and Mesebuth. Administration of his estate was granted to his son Daniel on May 11, 1768.
