Notes for Richard Libby:
This person's name is the source of all the Richards, the Libbys and the Richard Libbys we see named through the family...Richard Libby is listed in the book "Portrait of a Town" by T. Michael MIller as a merchant in hardware in 1821in the town of Alexandria, Virginia. In 1824, his 2 story frame house on the south side of King St, east of Washington St. was for sale. This may be the same lot that Bartholomew Rotchford, husband of this ancestor's granddaughter Janepher, owned and he had placed an ad for a tenant years later.Alexandria Gazette, 9-15-1855 has the following story:
A law firm brought a Chancery Suit on June 12, 1851, against the surviving children and grandchildren (and their spouses) of Richard Libby, deceased. The lawsuit seems much ado about nothing, mostly a squabble about inheritance, but the true importance of the article is the identification of the family group members.Richard Libby's daughter, Susanna Libby, married William Carne in Cornwall, England.
