Hi -
My name is Kathleen P. Colby and I am trying to trace my family heritage on my dad's side. My father was born William A. Colby on March 1, 1929 to William John Colby (born 2-2-1889) and Estelle O'Brien Colby born 7-6-1898. I wrote to Social Security for a copy of my grandfathers SS application., and on same (it was dated
12-4-1936) it indicates his fathers name as William A. Colby and his mother's name as Elizabeth Deery. Can you help point me in the correct direction with such limited information?
Thank you for taking the time to read my email

Does anyone have a copy of a will for Isaac Colby, born abt 1750 in Sandown, NH, died before April 14, 1814.
Not sure where the will may have been probated, possibly in Chesire County, NH.
There is a possibility Isaac may have died near Springfield, NH, Sunapee, NH (both in Cheshire County), or Hopkinton, NH, which would have been in Hillsborough County in 1814

I'm looking for some information related to John Colby b Jul 6, 1797, Springfield (Sunapee) NH, d April 29, 1884, Troy, NY; married Judith Stickney Dec 31, 1818 in Sunapee, NH (daughter of John Stickney and Judith Clark). Judith Stickney Colby was born Mar 20, 1800, Sunapee, NH, died Jan 18, 1892, Troy, NY
Children
Clark Stickney Colby, born Feb 27, 1820
Caleb Kimball Colby, born Sep 24, 1823 Springfield, NH
John Peasley Colby, Nov 25, 1827, Sunapee, NH
Marie Antoinette Colby, Born Dec 4, 1830, Sunapee NH
Daniel S. Colby, born Jan 24, 1834, Sunapee, NH
John Colby's parents were Isaac Colby and Experience Stevens. I have not been able to find the correct Isaac Colby yet. Isaac and Experience were married 7 Dec 1780 in Rockingham, NH. I believe (no primary sources yet) Isaac and Experience also had a son, Isaac, who likely married Judith Stickney's older sister, Sally Stickney, who then had a child Isaac Stevens Colby, b 24 Jan 1821, Sunapee NH. The NH Vital Statistics has John Colby's father listed as "Sam," but if you look at the entry in Springfield, NH you can see how Isaac might have looked like Sam to the people who did the data collections. I have other primary sources indicating John Colby's parents are Isaac Colby and Experience (Experiance) Stevens. Experience Stevens was born 17 Aug 1762 and her parents were Wait STEVENS and Elizabeth SARGANT.
John Colby was very important in politics in Sunapee and Springfield, NH just prior to 1849, he was on the board of selectman, town clerk, treasurer, owned a grocery store and some land. For some reason, currently unknown, he packed up the entire family and moved to Troy, NY establishing a grocery store with his son John Peasley Colby, who is my great-grandfather.
Would appreciate information that might further identify John Colby's father Isaac.
Here is another of my 64,000 dollar questions.
Ella Eastman married (1) 3 Jul 1867 James Henry Colby (2) 26 Aug 1882 Amos
Clark Colby.
James Henry Colby b. 11 Oct 1847 d. 8 Mar 1870
James and Ella had 1 daughter
Mary Colby b. 27 Sep 1869
Now Ella has a boy named Luke b. 2 Jan 1871
Family records has him as son of Amos Colby.
Amos Colby and Ella also had two other children
Amey b. 20 Jan 1889
Donald b. 1 Nov 1891
There is a 18 year gap between Luke and Amey, why??
Now another stick in the fire.
the 1880 Census
Note what it says about Ella and children.
This leaves me to beleave that Luke is son on James Henry Colby and not Amos
Clark Colby
Does anyone have any ideas on this??
Also has anyone have documented proof who is the father of Luke??
