  	Wife Aibigail runs away, Whereas Abigail, my wife, has eloped from me and behaved unbecomingly - I do forbid all persons trusting or harboring her on my account, as I will not pay any debt of her contracting after this date.-Nathaniel Tibbet, jun.-New-Sharon, Sept. 21, 1804
  Death	27 May 1821	Boothbay, Lincoln, Maine   [1, 2, 3]
  	Drowned at the "Chops" in Kennebec Rivers, The Shipping Days of Old Boothbay, p 324 quotes the Bath Gazette, published 1 June 1821: “On Sunday last Captain [Nathaniel, b 1775] Tibbetts and his two sons, of Boothbay were drowned by the bilging of a boat on a rock at Line’s Island, near this place.” A copy of the news article was obtained from GenealogyBank, confirming the notice appeared in the 9 June 1821 issue of the Bath Gazette. Therefore, the death card on file in the Maine, Deaths Ancestry database providing date of death as 27 May 1822 is clearly in error.
