Benjamin was a lumberman. In the 1870's, he and the family moved from Maine to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In 1880, they were living in Sault Ste. Marie, Chippewa County. Lydia and the chidren returned to Maine sometime after Benjamin left them.
He "ran off" with Augustine, and they settled in British Columbia, Canada. Once in Canada, he dropped the name "Scribner" and went by the name "Benjamin Franklin." He became a rancher, a store owner, a Justice of the Peace and one of the founders of the Williams Lake Stampede (a rodeo).

Willoughby was a Private in the 28th Co., Unassigned Maine Infantry, in the Civil War. He served only 6 weeks (1 April 1865 - 17 May 1865). He filed for a Pension on 5 May 1886, according to the GENERAL INDEX TO CIVIL WAR PENSION FILES, 1861-1934 (op. cit.).
In 1900, he was a grocer in Superior Twp., Chippewa County, Michigan. He and Anna had had 3 children, only one of whom (Ida, wife of Elmer Scribner) was living at that time. They were charter members of the Congregational Church in Brimley in 1879. Willoughby donated the land on which the church stands today.
In the 1910 Census of Michigan, there are two Willoughby Scribners, both born in Maine, and very close in age:
One (aged 63) lived in Superior Township, widowed, and employed as an engineer in a sawmill (M624, Roll 641, E.D. 34, Page 253B).
The other (aged 62) lived in Antwerp, Van Buren County, married to Julia A. ??? (aged 59 and born in Illinois), operating a fruit farm (M624, Roll 676, E.D. 147, Page 134B).
It's difficult to imagine that these two listings refer to the same person. Therefore, we will hesitatingly assume that our Willoughby moved, with new wife Julia, to Antwerp and, for the few years left to them, lived there.
Regarding the other Willoughby listed in 1910, we have not uncovered any further information about him.

Note N2313 Index

Simon was a farmer in Otisfield.
During the Civil War, he enlisted on 29 September 1862 (the same day that a 2nd cousin, Algernon Howe Scribner, and his brother-in-law, Elisha Turner, enlisted in the same unit) in Company C, 25th Maine Infantry Regiment, and served with that unit until 10 July 1863. It had been mustered into service for a term of nine months, which they fulfilled. Most of that time of service was spent in defense of the nation's capital. They were encamped on Arlington Heights from October 1862 to March 1863. They spent March through June of 1863 at Chantilly, Virginia, doing guard duty, then were returned to Maine to be discharged. They fought no battles, but 25 of the men died from disease and 13 deserted.

On 13 December 1863, Simon began a second enlistment as a Corporal in the 30th Maine Infantry. That unit was mustered into service for three years. This was another of the Maine units sent to fight in Louisiana. After service there, the regiment was transferred to Virginia in August of 1864. Most of its time in Virginia was spent garrisoned at Winchester, Frederick County, in the northwest part of that state. They were engaged in only three days of fighting in April 1865. They went to Washington in May, then to Savannah, Georgia, in June. The men were mustered out there and returned to Maine on 24 August 1865.
Simon died from a heart attack.
