Wow is this old Doyle genealogy ever hard to read in places, as a matter of fact it may be impossible to decipher much of this. (these were my Nana's who was a Bibber and grew up in Harpswell, so she collected much of his works since so many of them contained Bibber info)
One thing I am able to read however in under Jenny DOYLE's info, which says she was a daughter of Capt. Jonathan DOYLE b. 1760 and died at Bowdoin, ME on Nov. 2, 1788 at age 28 years old. He was buried in the Old South Cemetery at Bowdoin, ME beside his wife. He enlisted as a Privateer at an early date in the Rev. War. This vessell had been at sea but a few days when she was captured by an English Man Of War, where he was kept till the close of the War. He then returned to Harpswell, ME but his hardships had been so severed that he was never strong. Soon after he removed to a farm at Bowdoin, ME. He married on Jan. 15, 1784 to Huldah RANDALL who was born Harpswell, ME Nov. 7, 1764 d. at Bowdoin, ME Dec. 13, 1849 age 85 years and 26 days old. A daughter of Maj. Paul RANDALL and Mary McFARLAND, and a woman of sterling qualities.

James DOYLE, Jr. statement of relatives ~ He enlisted on a Privateer at Salem, MA early in the Rev. War. The vessel had been at sea only four days when she was captured by a British Man-of-War who took all the men to serve on board their ship. He was on board for some seven years.
He was then take to England and paid off. As he could find no vessel going to a Northern port in America, he went to the West Indies and from there to Boston. He had been gone about nine years and his people had not heard from him. It was a joyous time when he walked into the old home. He built a good house on the Doyle farm at North Harpswell, ME.
After the death of his wife he went to Bangor, ME with his son James DOYLE. He was a fine man and highly esteemed by all who knew him.

**************************************************
This is the end of this genealogy as I have it, other than the Index of names - Here are some of the names from the Index which may help for the info that I could not read at all -
Green, Harward, Haynes, Hodgdon, Hogan, Merryman, Palmer, Dale, Ridley, Thompson, Turner, and York. Some of those surnames I don't remember typing.
I do hope this is helpful and that I haven't made too many typo's myself.
Its been a while since I've done any Bibber research at all because I feel like we maxed it out. This may be repeat info for some, but I wanted to get this unpublished genealogy out here for any of those researching any of the names associated with the BIBBER's.
