Illinois State Archives director David Joens says,
"You can't write the history of the Civil War without
Illinois.''
And, he might add, not without some help from Fred
Delap, either.
Key players from the Prairie State include Presidents
Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. Although there
were no Civil War battles on Illinois soil, the state
provided 150 infantry regiments, 17 cavalry regiments
and 10 artillery batteries for the war.
And Delap?
A retired Army master sergeant who lives in the small
Downstate town of Kansas, Delap painstakingly typed
into a computer details of about 285,000 Illinois
soldiers who served in the Civil War. Transferring
data from microfilm of large, handwritten ledger
books, Delap worked two and often four hours a day for
more than five years .

In looking over some of my older entries after getting an inquiry and
updated information on the descendants of Samuel Silver and Judith Colby.
It brings up a question of which Judith Colby married Samuel Silver.
Samuel Silver b. 27 Jul 1730 m 6 Nov 1750 Judith Colby
But which Judith Colby did he marry. We have two Judith Colby in this time
frame and either is a candidate.
Judith Colby b. 2 Jul 1725 d/o Isaac Colby and Hannah Getchell
Judith Colby b. 9 Mar 1733 d/o Timothy Colby and Hannah Heath.
Samuel Silver and Judith Colby had the following children:
Martha Silver b. 27 Nov 1751
Mary Silver b. 4 Jul 1754
Anna Silver b. 7 Jul 1755
John Silver b. 22 Dec 1763
Daniel Silver b. Oct 15 1765 d. Feb 27 1772
Samuel Silver b. Aug 12 1767
Timothy Silver b. May 12 1769
Abner Silver b. 5 Apr 1771
Daniel Silver b. Mar 7 1773
Joshua Silver b. Nov 17, 1774
Samson Silver b. Jun 29 1777
Sarah Silver b. Mar 3 1779
Weis has that Samuel Silver m Judith Colby b. 1725 d/o Isaac
The book "The Silver family lineage of Anna, Charles, Mary and Elisabeth
Silver and
their children : with biographical and historical notes" by Arthur E.
Silver, Upper Montclair, N.J.: unknown, 1966, 81 pgs. Says that Samuel
Silver m Judith Colby b. Jul 19 1733 d/o Isaac Colby and Hannah. In this
book the dob for Judith is in error for their daughter was born 2 Jul 1725.
Here are some facts that I noted.
(1) If Judith Colby b. 2 Jul 1725 married Samuel Silver, she would have been
54 years old when their last daughter Sarah was born, probable but not
likely. If Judith Colby b. 9 Mar 1733 was the mother she would have been 46
when Sarah was born more probable and much more likely.
(2) the naming patterns for their children don't fit the normal trend of
those days of naming children after parents, grandparents etc.. None of
their children were named Isaac nor does Isaac appear in other generations.
You will note that they have a Timothy, John and some of the other names
that fit.
Any ideas??

Hi,
I am new to the board and hoping someone can help fill in some blanks.
I am looking for information on my great-grandfather to see where/if he fits into the Anthony Colby line.
His name was Herbert Forrest Colby born 1863 (in Mass.??), died July 2, 1929 Springfield, Mass.
He married Abbie Partridge Lewis (born Sept 17, 1871) on Feb 8, 1890.
Family stories tell me that he was a captain of a ship out of Boston.
They had many children:
John Eaton (b Dec 5, 1890 d Aug 1891)
Ethel (b Nov 30, 1891 d Sept 1892)
Jane Lewis aka June (b Nov 4, 1892)
Annora Stearns aka Nora (b Nov 4, 1894)
Ann Catherine aka Cathy (b April 25, 1896)
Walter Jeffards (b Sept 22, 1897)
Frederique Augustus aka Freddy (b Aug 31, 1900)
Samuel Francis (my Grandfather) (b Jan 11, 1903)
Herbert Forrest Jr. (b Feb 19, 1904)
George Carlton (b Feb 28, 1906)
Sometime between 1906 & 1910 he moved to Vancouver, Canada (due to some sort of legal trouble?) and changed his last name to Lacy. He sent for Abbie who went to Canada with just 4 of her 8 children (George, Sam, Cathy & June) and left the others behind ("farmed out").
He started a refrigeration business in Vancouver and they had 3 more children:
Robert Warren Lacy (b Jul 31, 1910)
Abbie Rose Lacy (b Oct 25, 1911 or 1912)
Baby boy stillborn Nov 20, 1913
Around 1929 Herbert & Abbie returned to the US and he passed away on July 2, 1929 in Springfield, MA. Abbie lived with her children until her death on March 7, 1947.
This information has been graciously written down for our family by one of Herbert & Abbie's granddaughters who had the good fortune to hear this history first-hand from her grandmother and she has the original address book that her grandmother wrote important dates in.
If anyone can help me find any further information on Herbert Forrest Colby, it would be greatly appreciated.

He was a member of the American Lutheran Church in Worthington. Jeff enjoyed hunting, fishing, volleyball, golfing and especially loved the Fourth of July family campouts. Jess was an inventor at heart. He enjoyed creating things. He loved to spoil his nieces and nephews.
Jeff is survived by his wife, Janet Colby, rural Brewster, two sons, Justin and Jason Colby, rural Brewster; daughter, Jennifer Colby, rural Brewster; parents, Junior and Deeda Colby, rural Brewster; two brothers, Mark (Jolene) Colby, Alto Loma, CA; and Rob (Shana) Colby, rural Brewster; four sisters, Juanita Colby, Sioux Falls, SD; Janine (Randy) Harvey, Sioux Falls, SD; Pamela (Kip) Brettingen, Minneapolis; and Renee (Mike) Baerenwald, Fulda; two uncles, Joe Datzman, Remer; and Dan (Beth) Colby, Verndale; two aunts, Elaine (John) Wasem, Hamilton, MT; and Elaine (Ned) Valentine, Ohio; mother-in-law, Gerry Brua, Worthington; two brothers-in-law, Jack (Dee) Brua, Eau Claire, Wi; Mike (Sharon Brua, Brandon, SD; and Todd (Kim) Brua, Sioux Falls, SD; sister-in-law, Lisa (Todd) Bahnub, La Crosse, WI; thirty nieces and nephews; one great niece; many cousins; and three close friends, Clair VanGrouw, Steve Naumann and Earl Thurston.

Hi Ron-They had four children-two boys, two girls (1840 census for Macoupin
Co.) I found the names of Charles, b. abt 1831, William, b. abt 1833, Mary
b. 1835, Sarah, b. abt 1837( 1850 census for Macoupin Co, ILL) The census
was taken in November. Charlotte Sylvia Mudge Colby died in 1850, no doubt
earlier in the year. Some genealogists claim that Simeon Colby died on the
California trail in 1852, although I have not found that fact.
Interestingly, there is a Charles Colby, age 39, b. N.Y. in the 1870 census
for San Francisco. Did he go to California with his father? I don't know
what happened to Sarah. I noticed that Mary Colby Updike named her two
daughters with John T. Laws, Charlotte for her mother and Sarah for her
sister.
Mary Colby Updike was my husband's great-grandmother.

COLBY FAMILY & OTHERS

William M. Colby (abt 1831-1863) served as Captain in Company F, 130 Illinois Infantry.He joined Aug. 7, 1862 at Camp Butler. He was killed in action May 22, 1863 at Vicksburg, Miss.
I believe that he was the son of Simeon Colby and Charlotte Sylvia Mudge. According to his enlistment record he was born in Huron Co (?) N.Y.
The 1850 census for Bunker Hill, Macoupin Co., IL lists Simeon Colby with his daughter, Sarah age 13. Nearby was Charles Colby, age 19-farmer-living with a farmer's family. Nearby is listed William Colby, blacksmith, age 17, next to his sister, Mary, age 15, living with a blacksmith's family.
Charlotte Colby died earlier in the year. Looks like William was apprenticed to a blacksmith and Mary was the hired girl to take care of the small children in the household.
William married Hannah Updike and they are listed in the 1860 census for Greenville, Bond Co., Illinois along with their three children, William A. age 4, Harry P. age 2,Carrie V.age 1. Living in the same household were William S. Updike and his sister, Sarah (brother and sister of Hannah Colby)
William's sister, Mary Maria, b. 9 May 1835 in Albany, N.Y. Married 1) John T. Laws (Sept. 7, 1856 in Bond Co., ILL) and they had two children, Charlotte S. age 3, Sarah M age 2 (1860 census for Greenville, Bond Co. Ill)
John T. Laws was killed in the Civil War, 16 December 1864 in Nashville, Tenn.
Mary M. Colby married 2) William A. Updike 31 March 1867. They had two children, Elizabeth Mary, b. 28 Dec 1867 and William, b. 1870 who died as a small child.
Mary M. Colby Updike died 20 June 1910 in St. Louis, MO.

Hello...I'm a descendant of Colbys in the southern NH region, and recently found this site that has reinvigorated my passion for genealogy:

I'm sure many already know of and use it, but it was new to me, so I thought I'd pass it on.
