NOTES: History of Salem, Massachusetts Vol 2, pg 314: "Richard Sibley built his dwelling house, in 1663, on the SE corner of the lot of land upon which the the North meeting house now stands, on Essex Street. He died in 1676, and after the death of his widow, subsequent to 1700, the heirs released their interests to his son John. The estate passed to Joseph Gavett in 1758, and, in 1763, he moved the house to the westerly side of North Street, opposite Lynde Street. The estate remained in the Gavett family. [not sure which Joseph, but this one seemed likely, could be RIN 8012 or 8100-to ck out]
