Little is known of the Falmouth and Windham Union Libraries, probably located in the southeast of Maine. The Libby family was prominent in Maine throughout its history; and there are multiple people called Elias Libby. It is possible that the Elias Libby recorded in this volume is Elias H. Libby (1840-1862) who lived in Standish, Maine. Other Libby family members mentioned in the volume include Andrew Libby (possibly 1824-1877) and William M. Libby (possibly died 1887), both also living in Standish.
