- "Nathaniel Tibbetts....of Boothbay, Maine, born in Dover Neck 30 Aug. 1727, died in Boothbay. He married Elizabeth (or Abigail) Giles. IN Green's Hist. Boothbay, p. 636, her name is given as Elizabeth. It is given as Abigail, born 24 Dec. 1729, in Nathaniel's family Bible which is now in possession of descendants.
"He settled at Townsend (Boothbay), Maine, about 1759 and was founder of the Boothbay branch of the family (Maine Genealogy, vol. 2, p. 956). He built a log cabin in what is known as the 'Dover District' at Back Narrows, an arm of the Sheepscot Bay. This peninsula and Barter's Island were first settled by some 47 or 48 families, mostly young when they came from the region of Dover, N.H., hence the name.
"He later moved further north and built where his Giles afterward lived. He signed petition of the first settlers at Townsend (Boothbay), dated 31 Jan. 1764. All maps of this region show Tibbets Island, which was named for him."
Nathaniel Tibbetts born 1727 is often confused with Nathaniel Tibbetts of Woolwich, who was born in 1740. It is the latter who served in the Revolutionary War and named Lieutenant. To add to the confusion, Lt. Tibbett's researchers also mixed the two men. When the headstone was placed on Lt. Tibbetts' grave, it was inscribed with the birthdate of 30 Aug 1727, the date of birth of our ancestor, NOT the Lieutenant.
