Seeking information on Frank Colby,born in New York about 1855. Moved to San Francisco about 1865 where he was listed as being a student in the 1870 census.
On 23 December 1896 he attempted to rob a store in Bodgea,CA, captured and sentenced to Folsom prison from 26 Jan 1897 to 26 Sept. 1904 for assault and robbery. Before he was arrested he had been a stage coach driver.He was also wanted in Denver for robbery.
I believe he is one of my relatives and would like to find out more about him. The information I had on him came from theSonoma Democrat and the Sebastapool Times.
Would like to know who this George Colby is, where he fits in.
Some information found FamilySearch.com.

Florence M. Colby
Florence M. Colby, 87, died January 29, 1996 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Born April 9, 1908 in Carmen, Ill. to Charles and Matilda Morling
Cargill. Married Ora Colby in Chicago, Ill. He died April 19, 1966.
Survived by daughter, Nancy (Lou) DeLuca, Midvale; two grandsons, John
Brzenk and Bill Brzenk; two great-granddaughters, Megan and Kelly.
The family extends special thanks to Hazen Nursing Home for their loving
care.
At her request, cremation has taken place. She will be placed next to her
husband in McHenry, Illinois.
My message of Mar 26, 20000,1:14pm (CST-2) fortunately was cut off when
I hit the "enter" instead of "delete . My apologies. Thus Alice Folkert
was able to send me some information - new to me -
and changes need to be made, so "back to the middle of my "line" of
Colby's. Coleman Colby #I, b.Madison, NH, 1760 & Hubbard,his brother,
b.1764, who Alice tells me were not the sons of Abraham & Phebe, but of
Abraham & Mary. She says: "They were raised by Abraham & Phebe after
their parents died, per the original records of Hopkinton, NH June 25,
1772 where they were put up for care." So back to the proverbial
"drawing board" I will try after a bit to input my last 4 Gen., William
Wallace Colby to Dell Colby Souther.
Thanks for your patience.
Hi All;
Can anyone make a connection, and help Bill?

Claremont 18, 1845
Beloved son I take this opportunity to write to you. We are all enjoying
usual health and I hope these lines will find you and your family enjoying
the same blessing of divine providence. I have disposed of all your
produce. Your potatoes we sold at various prices from 25.cts to 2
shillings, your corn I sold for 4 shillings per bushel, your wheat I could
not sel at any price that would do good and I and Henry have taken it to use
and have sold our own. Your wheat was sprouted and is not good. It make
(clamy) bread but we takes it and allow you $1. 25 as much as we could sel
ours for. To sow we turned in some of it to pay some of our Mecanic debts.
We have turned every thing the best we could as we throught for your
interest. Had we have kept the potatoes until now they would have sold from
37 1/2 cts to 50 cts per bushel and corn at this time is worth 75 cts but
perhaps in 3 days it may be down to 58 cts. It has been down to 58 since I
sold yours. Corn is governed in price (and) by the weather. We have had a
cold dry backward spring for the most part but we are now having a warm rain
storm which makes everything start. The potatoes if we had kept them til
now we could not draw them to Claremont now in the midst of planting and at
this season of the year and when potatoes are so high there is no man that
would buy more than two or three bushels apiece so that it would have been
attended with a good deal of trouble and lots of time and many of those that
buy potatoes have not the money to pay down so if we had retailed in small
lots we might have lost considerable. Henry drawed all of the potatoes to
Claremont with my horse and I guess it took him more than ten whole day put
all parts of days together. There was 14 1/2 bushels of corn left after
fatting the hogs, and your potatoes held out about 75 bushls. I fattened
your hogs and thrashed out all of your corn old and new but six bushels that
(Urvis) cut and drawed your corn to Claremont for which I do not tax you
anything for. We hired a hand in the fall to help dig the potatoes and had
to pay the money and Henry though that he should tax you ten dollars for the
work and his time of silling and drawing your stuff to Claremont but he
gives you credit of one dollar & 75 cts for keeping his heifer last summer
which leaves $8.25 out of your stuff. The whole of the money now due to
you amounts to twenty three dollars and thirty four cents. I (riss) 25 cts
of Mr. Whipple for your mending his fence. Business is brisk at Claremont
village there is no lofers there now all have employ. The two button
factorys doing good business & there is our new Woolen Mill a fitting up to
be ready to go as soon as the wool is off of the sheep. It is the old
(Meactrom) Mill where Mr. Russel worked. Butter is worth 12 1/2 cents and
cheese is worth 7 1/2 and scarce at that. The appearance now that the is
dairy business will be better this year Beef and pork is high at this time.
The beef & pork that was barreled is shipped to (srofe) so that beef is
(quick). I am in hopes that times will be better if the locos do not repeal
the tarif and Polk don't poke us into a bloody war with Mexico and England
which I fear will be the case. If it should Texas will be a dear country to
us but I hope for the best. There is a prospect of our having a railroad
from Boston via (Keen) and Bellows falls through Claremont to Burlington and
Mt. (Brall). The subscription is taken up to Bellows falls they are about
to commission the building of the road. The engineer is now surveying the
rout through Claremont and so on to Lake Shamplain. It is thought that in 2
years that we should hear the engine whistle up the Connitticut. Write to
me when convenient. Be dilligent in business fervent in spirit serving the
Lord.
Yours JC

I have enclose twenty four dollars
Respected Friends as I have an opportunity to write a few lines I will
improve it. I am still digging in the dirt and tuff as a (not). Bsiness
goes off first rate. We have got most through planting corn. I once more
visited last winter the desolate region of Hennikere. Found the folx about
the same as they use to be. Harriet Houe was married last winter and moved
to Vermont. Ruth if you examine the catalogue I sent you close you will
find the names of some of your old associates recorded there. I had a very
pleasant time there and if nothing prevents I shall return in the fall. I
dont like to work all the time you know. I was sorry to hear that you did
not like Michigan for I was in hopes those bright anticipations when I last
saw you would not be blighted. Ruth I guess Ira's wife has beat you for she
turned her young ones out to grass long ago. Send me a paper now and then
and excuse my poor writing for I wrote it in a hurry.

Unity December 12, 1842
Beloved Children, I improve this opportunity to inform you that we are
enjoying a tolerable degree of health. I have been lame since the (four)
(?) of August in one of my knees but am some better. Brother Barkers folks
are well. I read your letter to Br. Barker informing us that you were well
which was good news to us. Stating also that you had gone out to Wisconsin
to see that country and that you had some idea of moving out there but
wanted our advice whether it was best to go there or not. I do not feel it
my duty to advise you in this case for if the way that I should advise
should prove to your disadvantage then I should be blamed. I want you to do
that which will be for your best good. You know more about the western
country than I do. Of its advantages or disadvantages. Perhaps as you are
raising up a family it might be for the best for you to go where land is
cheap and go to farming, but you must (act) your own pleasure. If it would
be as well for you and your family I should like to have you move back and
live on my farm and carry it on or help carry on next year and after that
Harlow leaves me and you might carry it on at such shares as would be right.
I shall be owing about seven hundred dollars towards my half of the Glidden
farm and I shall have hard work to pay it if times continue to be as hard as
it is now. It is almost impossible to guit any money. Everything is very
low here. Pork at 4cts per lb. Beef 2.50. net butter 12 1/2 (barter) (pay)
cheese 30 3/4, corn 50 cts., wheat $1.00, potatoes 17, oats 25 ct. and
(dull) sale at that. The mail road from Albany to Boston brings in the
produce so cheap from the west. it brings our prices down. But we are
going to try the dairy business and pork. We have bought 5 shoats for 8
dollars. I did not raise any pigs
Arnold Merrill has experienced religion.
We are designing to move down to the other farm the last of March if nothing
in providence prevents and this farm will be left the house which is well
finished and (convessing) will be left empty. If you should think of coming
home it would be best to come as early in the spring as would be safe and
convenient and perhaps you would suffer loss by coming. You have bought
your furniture and would have to loose on that and when you arrived here you
would have to purchase again. Brother Barker dont say what he think exactly
but he has a favorable opinion of the Western country. Sister Barker don't
want to advise you against your interest but she want to have Ruth some
where so that she can visit her. Stil she says she wants you to do for the
best. Your aunt Rhoda is sick and has been for a year and is thinking that
she will never be able to do any more work. Dolly has taken charge of the
boarding house. Henry is teaching school in Springfield V.T. for three
months commence 1st Dec. Our school began this morning. I should be very
glad to see you all. The Lord is (reviving) his work most gloriously in
N.H. & V.T. Hundreds and thousands have been converted. Glory to his
blessed name. I must close by saying save all you can gain all you can
honestly. Be fervent in spirit serving the Lord.
Horace Colby Yours J.C.
Ruth Colby Joshua Colby
Isaac C. Colby

N.B. write to me as soon as convenient what you intend to do. J.C.

Dec 13th 1862
Beloved son I sit myself down to write a few lines to you. You will see by
what I have written concerning our health. I have called to this post
office a great many times after a letter from you but find none as yet. I
feel anxious to hear from you of your health and prosperity. We had
(midling) crops of corn and grain here. I had about 100 bus. of corn, 30
(clo.) of wheat, 300 bus. of potatoes, 36 oats & (piers), hay about usual
years past. We built about 30 rod stone wall and plowed about seven acres
of (grass) ground last fall. We have hard winter weather here. The snow
fel here deep enough for sledding the 26 of Nov, and we have now over 18
inches on a level and it is snowing from the N.E. bids fair to be a foot
more before tomorrow. We have had to shovel and break through snow drifts 4
feet deep. I suppose you have no snow in Ohio. Arnold Merrill has
professed to have experience religion. He still visits down to Brother
Barker. They say that Daniel Perkins pays his respects to Ann Merrill. I
guess is will be a match. There has been a great over turn in Unity Village
as to business since the death of Mr. Smith things (?) kept (Stone) Gilman
has left and they say that (?) two or three in the village that is worth
anything. Hard times and bankrupts plenty. I want to see you very much
and when you write I want you to say when you intend to come and see us.
Perhaps Horace will take a notion to come back in the spring. If he should
you could come with them. And, if you wanted to return you could stay here
through the summer & back in the fall but you must do your own planning and
then you have none to blame. I must close by saying to you first of all
make it your concern to seek and serve the Lord that we may meet (around)
the (throne) of (spotless) (purity) so fare you well.
