I believe that John, Asa and Arad are all children of Ezekiel Colby and
Ruth Davis.
I don't know who Leonard and Janathon are.

I'm still looking for an Ezekiel Colby , I found him in Ash. Co. in the
1820 and 1830 census and he was in the 45+ age range in the 1820 census
and in the 60-70 age range in the 1830 census. I also noticed that
there are two Ezekiel Colbys in the 1790 Vermont census, one in Corinth,
Vt and one in Rye Town or St. Johnsbury, VT.
I believe he had a least two sons John and George Colby, and I found a
book " History of Ashtabula County" a short bio. on a George Colby. It
says that George was a native of Vermont and an early settler of Ash.
Co., and married a Mary Kent. Ezekiel was married twice the first
wife's name is not given but the second one is Elizabeth Ayers of St.
Johnsburg, NY. Any help would be appeciated.

Hi Brian and All,
Thanks for crediting me with the statement that Anthony's lineage to the Beccles line is flawed, but I must give credit where due. It was Robert Colby who informed me that it was flawed.
Your point of misleading print is one well taken. My maiden name is Blanchard and I descend from Thomas Blanchard who came from England in 1639 on the ship "Jonathan", (or as my husband likes to say, "the good ship lollipop"). There are many printed references that he was a Huguenot with much detail about the family structure, history, travels, etc. Not one piece of this fanciful story can be substantiated, and to the contrary point all available facts. And yet simply because the story has been repeated so many times by so many different folks, some descendants adamantly refuse to let go of the apparent myth. I have been impressed with the Colby descendants desire to let the myth go!
Bon research,
Sherry

Subject: [COLBY-L] COLBY Immigration Followup
In response to some comments from Ron, I, too, agree that most or maybe
all of the folks going to SanFrancisco were probably "49-ers", very
possibly from New England. The reference that I gave is entitled
"Passenger and Immigration Lists Index", and does not distinguish which
are "Immigrants" and which are simply "Passengers".
The ones I'm most curious about are those arriving in VA: Ann, in 1655,
and Robert in 1665. According to Weis, there were no descendants of
Anthony and Susanna born with those given names at that early a date
These seem the most likely candidates for "new" Colby cousins possibly
arriving from England.
One other curious entry was the Samuel arriving in MA in 1689. Could
this person have descended from A&S and "re-arrived" in MA?
I do intend to try to find the original references listed to satisfy my
curiosity, and will post anything I find.
And on the issue of names, I, too, have found some varient spellings of
Colby, as well as given names. The most interesting one I've seen is
KOLDBY, this being given in a book entitled: Historical Encyclopedia of
Illinois, Edited by Newton Bateman, LL.D.; Paul Selby, A.M.; Volume II,
McHenry County Citizens, Munsell Publishing Co., Chicago, IL, 1903. I'm
not positive, but I think this was one of those "subscription" histories
so popular in earlier days, which are to be highly suspect because their
content was provided by "subscribers" and not verified. In this book,
the Colbys are said to be of Danish stock with the above spelling,
coming to England in ? But the book is suspect.
As a proof the suspect nature of this work, is the claim for Anthony to
be descended from Robert Colebi, which Sherry Gould has said was
"flawed". Another proof is the claim that Anthony came to Plymouth on
the Mayflower in 1620! And as member of the well-to-do gentry. A further
proof is the claim of lineage of Anthony & Susannah, to Samuel &
Elizabeth Sargent, to Philip & Ann Webster, to Ichabod & Esther Nichols,
to Thomas & ?, to Thomas & Lydia Webster, a lineage thoroughly refuted
by Weis. My point in bringing this up is that there were a lot of things
published that simply do not stand up to further scrutiny. Perhaps the
Colby/Tandy case is another. But who knows?

Will,
Thanks for the Daniel Colby, b. 23 Nov 1752 m. Mary Folsom, etc. info.
I'm still wondering which Daniel Colby is buried in Henniker?
From: "Gravestone Inscriptions of Henniker, New Hampshire"
"Daniel and Elizabeth Colby
He died Oct. 19, 1826 in his 74 y'r."
and Elizabeth died April 10, 1804, aged 46 y'rs."
"Sarah, dau. of Daniel and Elizabeth Colby, d. 31 March 1817 in 31st., y."
That would make this Daniel born about 1748; Elizabeth born abt. 1758; and
Sarah born abt. 1786.
Any ideas?
Bob
Hi Sandy;
I don't have a Ezekiel with the two sons. Do you have any additional
info?
I'll send this to the Colby list.

Hi Ron, and All,
I have been subbed to the list since about Jul 20, and have rec'd much
valuable material. It's a marvelous thing to see so many Colbys get
connected through this medium.
Now, since I am not computerized, it is hard for me to make a detailed
or lenghty contribution. But here's one I can make: while many,
probably most, COLBYs in America are descended from that doughty couple
Anthony and Susanna, not all are! The following in from:
Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, First Edition, with 1982-85
Cumulated Supplement, First Edition, Ed. by P. William Filby and Dorothy
M. Lower. The order of entry is for surname COLBY, 1st entry given
name, then age, place of arrival, year of arrival, reference no., page.
Ann, n.a., VA, 1655, 6220, 311
Anthony, n.a., Cambridge MA, 1632, 1936, 65
D, n.a., SanFrancisco CA, 1851, 7158, 194
M H, n.a., SanFrancisco CA, 1850, 7158, 32
R K, n.a., SanFrancisco CA, 1850, 7158, 71
Robert, n.a., VA, 1665, 6220, 554
S B, n.a., SanFrancisco CA, 1855, 7880, 21
Samuel, n.a., Jamaica, 1709, 2144, 20
Samuel, n.a., MA, 1689, 1936, 65

7880: "San Francisco Ship Passenger Lists, 1849-1875", San Francisco
Genealogical Bulletin, later San Francisco Historical Register and
Genealogical Bulletin, 1:7 (Jan 1964) pp20-22.
Then, the 1986-90 Cumulative Supplement of the original source, 1990,
lists 17 more COLBYs arriving 1823 through about 1889.
Now, I have not searched any of the above references since I am
interested in Anthony and Susanna, but it appears to me that if one
finds an "orphan" COLBY who does not readily fit into the usual line,
the folks listed above might be original ancestors; and that not all
COLBYs in America can be traced to A&S. Sure does make COLBY
researching a bit harder!
