Ron,
Thank you for the information!! Has anyone found any BMD's on this family? I notice a discrepency in POB for the children in the different census.
I noticed that you had Thomas Pollard's daughter listed as Susan. Her correct name is Laura.

I recall reading a book in the Mesa FHL about the Marsh family. They
married into the Colby's and there is an extensive book about the family.
Doe he not appear in that book?

Hi All:
Isaac Colby b. abt 1819 married Margaret Biscoe
They have two children listed in the 1880 census of Pana, Christian,
Illinois
James Colby age 29
Nahum O Colby age 20
and the following grandchildren living with them:
Adelbert VANDEWATER age 9 IL
Millard J. DENNIS age 22 IL
Anna DENNIS age 21 IL
Now the question is.
Which Isaac Colby married Margaret Biscoe on 27 Feb 1840
Isaac Colby b. 1819 s/o Oliver Colby and Sophronia Howlett
or
Isaac Colby b. 2 Nov 1818 s/o Silas Colby and Hannah Farrer
(Weis says this Isaac died in 1818 in Henniker, NH)
Also none of Silas Colby and Hannah Farres daughters married a Vandewater or
a Dennis.
I would then suspect that Isaac Colby s/o Oliver Colby and Sophronia Howlett
was the one who married Margaret Biscoe.
Does anyone have better information on this family???

Hi!
I admire your online tree - a terrific piece of work! Perhaps you can assist me. I am tracing my KELLY ancestors in St Paul/Ramsey Co and Lakeville/Dakota Co MN area. I believe that the grandmother of Wm Egan COLBY might be a KELLY relative.
My interest:
Margaret Mary (EGAN) COLBY - wife of Col. Elbridge A. COLBY and mother of
William Egan COLBY. family. I see she was born 1900 in MN.
Do you have anything further on her heritage? My theory is that her parents were:
William EGAN and Margaret KELLY. I am very eager to track the further dates and parentage of this family and would appreciate any assistance you might provide.
THank you.

I am trying to research a family line of Colbys. The parents names were Louis & Pauline Cohn and changed their names to Colby when they arrived in the US (Canada?). They had several kids - Lee, Ida, Marie, Eddie, Bob, Al, Ben, Maurice, DW & Sam. Lee was born in 1906 and this is pretty much all the information I have.
