Hi all,
Bob, that works for me....I personally am interested in most topics. I
like to just chat with others in the larger family; I even like to joke
around, especially around holidays or in really really hot weather. (My
occupation is in my signature.)
So, just about any topic is fine with me! Thanks for the both links Bob!
In keeping with the previous complaint. The following, I believe is Gen.
related!
Perhaps we could all provide our occupations, interests or whatever so that
no one is offended :)
My apologies.
Trying to stay PC.
Bob

.Thanks Ron and Alison.
What through me off was that Mary Williametta Hayes gave his birth as 1755.
I can't find anything as of yet listing him as a Rev. War soldier other
than this DAR info. Both Hoyt and Weis give his birth as Apr 3 1739.

Barnard S. COlby is also the 2nd cousin to Charles Ingalls, the father of
Laura Ingalls Wilder (writer of children's books - Little House on the
Prairie, etc.). Charles Ingalls' mother was Laura Louise Colby, b. 1810, d.
1883. Her parents were Nathan Colby, b. 1778 (a brother of Ebenezer) and
Eunice Blood, b. 1782, d. 1862 in N. Cuba, NY, and Nathan's parents were
Ezekial Colby and Sally Fowler.
So Laura Ingalls Wilder was probably named after her paternal grandmother,
Laura (Colby) Ingalls. Does anyone know where Laura Colby was born? Was it
Corinth, VT, or N. Cuba or Holland, NY??
