God created the mule, and told him: "You will be Mule, working
constantly from dusk to dawn, carrying heavy loads on your back. You
will eat grass and you will lack intelligence. You will live for 50
years."
The mule answered: "To live like this for 50 years is too much.
Please, give me no more than 20." And it was so.
Then God created the dog, and told him: "You will hold vigilance over
the dwellings of Man, to whom you will be his greatest companion. You
will eat his table scraps and live for 25 years."
And the dog responded: "Lord, to live 25 years as a dog is too much.
Please, no more than 10 years." And it was so.
God then created the monkey, and told him: "You are Monkey. You will
swing from tree to tree, acting like an idiot. You will be funny, and
you shall live for 20 years."
And the monkey responded: "Lord to live 20 years as the clown of the
world is too much. Please, Lord, give me no more than 10 years.." And
it was so.
Finally, God created Man and told him: "You are Man, the only
rational being that walks the earth. You will use your intelligence
to have mastery over the creatures of the world. You will dominate
the earth and live for 20 years."
And the man responded: "Lord, to be Man for only 20 years is too
little. Please, Lord, give me the 30 years the mule refused, the 15
years the dog refused, and the ten years the monkey rejected." And it
was so.
And so God made Man to live 20 years as a man, then marry and live 30
years like a mule working and carrying heavy loads on his back. Then,
he is to have children and live 15 years as a dog, guarding his house
and eating the leftovers after they empty the pantry; then, in his
old age, to live 10 years as a monkey, acting like a clown to amuse
his grandchildren. And it was so.
There are two theories to arguin' with a woman.
Neither one works.

Hi Dell and All,
I am not aware of any death index. You could try the
historical society for Candia, they may be of some help. I
don't have their number and if it's not available on the
net a call to the Library should get you the number. If not
I have called the town's police department non emergency
number. They have always been very helpful and once even
put me in touch with their oldest citizen of the surname I
was looking for. But then cops are always nice, right Bob?
Good luck with your search

Farmer Jones got out of his car and while heading for his friend's
door, noticed a pig with a wooden leg. His curiousity roused, he
ask, "Fred, how'd that pig get him a wooden leg?"
"Well Michael, that's a mighty special pig! A while back
a wild boar attacked me while I was walking in the woods. That
pig there came a runnin', went after that boar and chased him away.
Saved my life!"
"And the boar tore up his leg?"
"No he was fine after that. But a bit later we had that fire.
Started
in the shed up against the barn. Well, that ole pig started squealin'
like he was stuck, woke us up, and 'fore we got out here, the dern
thing
had herded the other animals out of the barn and saved 'em all!"
"So that's when he hurt his leg, huh, Fred?"
"No, Michael. He was a might winded, though. When my tractor hit a
rock and rolled down the hill into the pond I was knocked clean out.
When I came to, that pig had dove into the pond and dragged me out
'fore I drownded. Sure did save my life."
"And that was when he hurt his leg?"
"Oh no, he was fine. Cleaned him up, too."
"OK, Fred. So just tell me. How did he get the wooden leg?"
"Well", the farmer tells him, "A pig like that, you don't want
to eat all at once."

Hi Cousins! Thought you might be interested in the following history of the
Colby surname. Enjoy! Love to all, Mary Ann at BLAREY3(a)aol.com
C O L B Y
The ancient history of the COLBY name begins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon
tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the family resided in Colby,
a parish in the county of Norfolk.
Under the feudal system of government developed in Britain during the Middle
Ages, society became more organized and the popuation grew. In response,
people began to assume an extra name to clarify their identity. Local
surnames like COLBY were derived from the name of a landmark or place where
the person lived, held land, or was born.
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of
spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a
multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names wee influenced
by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of
French, Latin, and other languages. Although medieval scribes and church
officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person
referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most
literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the
name COLBY include Coulby, Cockulb, Cockalby, Cobeigh, Cooulby, Colibee,
Colibey, Collibee, Coalby, Collibey, Cooalby, Colby, Colbeigh, Colbey and
Colbie.
During the period after the fall of the Roman Empire, known as the Dark Ages,
even emperors like the great Frankish king Charlemagne could not read or
write. Men of the church were the sole guardians of the written work. Monks
translated and revised classical texts and recorded births, deaths, marriages
and land purchases. They were responsible for such documents as the Assize
Rolls, the Inquisitio, the Ragman Rolls, the Domesday Book, baptismal records,
parish records, cartularies, and tax records. the history of the Anglo-Saxon
surname COLBY appeared in a significant number of these records. The earliest
origins of the COLBY family were found in Norfolk where Colebei (without
surname) was listed as a tenant in the Domesday Book. Colebi (without
surname) was documented in 1191, in the county of Norfolk, and William de
Colebi appears in 1176, in the county of Norwich. William de Colby was the
rector of Wilby in the county of Suffolk in 1331. Willelmus de Coleby of
Yorkshire was listed in the Yorkshire was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax
Rolls of 1379. The family name did not surface in records again until the
17th century when records were found of the name in London. The search for
greater opportunity and wealth drew many people to the city of London where
marriage records at this time show Joseph Coleby married Elizabeth Luckock at
St. James Cathedral, in 1695.
Although the English nation survived the plagues and famine of the Middle
ages, Englnd was devantated by the religious and political conflict of the
modern era. Under the House os Stuart, there were conflicts between the king
and Parliament, and between Catholics and Protestants. The Stuarts were
ousted from power first by Cromwell in 1649, and later in the same century by
the "Glorious Revolution", which resulted in a long series of Jacobite
uprisings.
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British
colonies. Unfortuately, the majority of them travelled under extremely harsh
conditions: overcroding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to
arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the
ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was
attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the
development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of
the individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration
of a number of people bearing the name of COLBY or a variant listed above:
Anthony Colby and his wife Susannah who settled at Salem, Massachusetts in
1630; Henry Colby who landed in New England in 1633; Anne Colby who landed in
Virginia in 1655.
The 1984 edition on the Report of Distribution of Surnames in the Social
Security Number File lists the surname Colby as the 2,856th most popular
surname in the United States.

Dear ----,
I have spent several years looking for family information and have,
as of this week, decided that I am a descendent of the family branch
called UNKNOWNS.
I find kazillions with the names of my branches but my branches
don't seem to attach to any trees in the known world.
Therefore, I have concluded that there are three ways in which the
UNKNOWNS originated:
1. We were sent to the colonies by the British government in the
1700's to spy. We so excelled in the art of blending in with the
flora and fauna that no one knew we were here...
even the British lost contact with us.
2. We were dropped off here by one of the space ships that some
think visited our planet. Again, we were outstanding in the
ability to blend in and so were never noticed. Somewhere down the
line someone forgot to tell us that we are from another planet.
I think the space ships some people report seeing and being captured
by,
are our true family and they are looking for us to take us home.
3. Immaculate conception...which explains itself.
4. I really don't exist. I am but a figment of someone's imagination
but I don't know who that someone is.
I am very frustrated as you can tell. Do you have a section in this
area for us UNKNOWNs to apply to families for adoption so that we
can attach our tiny branch buds and belong to some tree...any tree?

The Library of Congress is only about a third of the way through
its
five-year National Digital Library project to reproduce its mammoth
American history collection on the Internet. But the nation's
largest library reached an important milestone this month when it
surpassed the $45 million mark in its fundraising campaign for the
project.
With Congress having already earmarked $15 million for the National
Digital Library American Memory home page, the latest corporate
gift -- a $3.5 million donation from AT&T Corp. (NYSE:T) announced
Feb. 10 -- ensured the Library of Congress will be able to complete
the task, said Bob Zich, director of electronic programs at the
library, based in Washington, D.C.
"The money is in the bank, so we're on track to finish on schedule
by 2000," Zich said.
Huge wealth of material
Even though millions of texts, photographs, maps, videos and sound
recordings remain to be put online, the National Digital Library is
already an awesome spectacle. The first set of materials from the
library's collections to go online has been dubbed "American
Memory" and it includes more than 1.5 million exhibits dating from the
1500s to the present day.
Land surveys and panoramic maps, reproductions of George
Washington's diaries, video clips from the 1898-1901 Spanish-American
War, and reproductions of Walt Whitman's notebooks are among the items
available on the site. In an exhibit on Western social dance, MPEG
videos show dancers performing pieces that couples would have
danced at American social gatherings in the 1700s.
[TABLE NOT SHOWN] Yiddish-language plays performed in New York City
between 1910 and 1920 and the draft of John Quincy Adams' argument
before the Supreme Court in the Amistad mutiny case can be read in
their original manuscripts.
With such a huge wealth of material available to include in the
online collection, library officials are trying to emphasize rarer
items and audio and video items that are particularly well-suited to
online exposure, Zich said.
"We're trying to provide a range of the whole of American history,
and we've been inclined to focus on those unique to the Library of
Congress," so that they are now available to Internet users
worldwide, Zich said.
Pronounced role for education
Library officials are also trying to offer a good mix of
high-bandwidth and low-bandwidth files, understanding that many
users will be on local school district computer networks that are not
terribly sophisticated, Zich said.
The emphasis on the project's role in education makes sense, since
it represents a potentially priceless teaching tool, said Karen
Jaffe, executive director of KidsNet, a non-profit educational center
for children's online media.
[TABLE NOT SHOWN]
"It's an exciting opportunity, but it has to be useful for a
variety of students," Jaffe said. Providing low-graphics options is
key if the site is to be used in many K-12 classrooms, she added.
The project will also challenge some educators, particularly
history teachers, since each local school system picks its own
textbooks, and those choices vary widely from state to state, said
Alan Marcus, a professor of history at Iowa State University and the
author of a book on the history of technology.
"There's a bias toward the norms of parents in the local district,
and what you have here (in the National Digital Library) is a
national, standardized American history text," Marcus said. If the
site becomes widely used in the classroom, it will, "to a large
extent, undercut that local control" of which issues get raised, he
said.

(I've also sent this to Wilson Roberts)
I want to thank Wilson Roberts for this wonderful information!
I "snipped" the other info (saved for later of course ;-), and wanted to add that
the Lucinda COLBY mentioned below, married John R. BOND (b. May 16, 1829, d. March
28, 1897). I thought you might want to add this to your listing.
This is my line, and I believe Lucinda and John had a total of six (6) children,
names and dates are being confirmed. Both Lucinda COLBY and John R. BOND are buried
in Bow, NH.
ADDED (for Wilson Roberts too, of course ;-): Willaby Colby Jr., and both Besteys'
(Wheeler and Morgan) listed below are also buried in Bow, NH.
Thanks again Wilson, for this wonderful info.

Hi All;
I have sent this family to Alan. If anyone else wants it, I'll send
it to them. It is 40k big, so won't fit on the list.

Does anyone have any info on this Colby family?
Adoniram Judson Colby, B:28 Mar 1829, Erie Co., NY, son of Rev Michael
Colby & Abigail Wilkes. Adoniram was age 21 with widowed mother in 1850
census, Erie Co., along with siblings, Celestia age 19 and Whitmore age
12. Adoniram M:28 Aug 1856, Sophronia Elsie Howland, location unknown.
1860 census Osage TWP, Mitchell Co., IA
Colby, A. Judson 34 B:NY Baptist Clergy
Sophronia 28 B:NY
Freeling 2 B:IL
George 1 B:MN
The "History of Mitchell County, Iowa" states "The Mitchell-Osage
Baptist church was founded in 1860, its first pastor was A.J. Colby"
We have lost Adoniram after 1860. His son, Freeling, our ancestor was in
Mitchell County, Kansas in 1880.
Any help would be appreciated.
Bob & Betty Colby Fuller
