>From Landmarks of Monroe County, NY
by William F. Peck (1895)
Part III, p. 184 Colby, Ephraim, and Mary, his wife, were among the pioneers of Ogden, the former born in 1747 and the latter in 1745. Their children were Ephraim, Mary, Zacheus, Mary 2d, Abraham, Isaac, Timothy, Eastman and Merrill. Col. Eastman Colby, frequently mentioned in Ogden town history, was one of the foremost men of the town, and received his title from service in the State militia during 1812. He married Hannah Niles, and their children were Harriet, Eastman, jr., Amos N. Hannah M., Edward H., Charles, Abram and Sarah. Of these Harriet, Eastman and Charles are deceased. Colonel Colby was horn in New Hampshire in 1785 and died in 1859. His wife was born in 1794 and died in 1860. The family settled on Colby street, north of where E. H. Colby now lives. The latter was born in his present home February 4, 1827, and has always lived in this immediate vicinity. He has followed agriculture, has always been interested in public affairs, and is a firm but conservative
Republican. For thirty-five years he has been an active member and trustee of the Baptist church. In 1848 he married Sarah, daughter of William Webster, the latter a member of one of the pioneer families of this region, and they have had these children: Harriet, wife of Louis M. Millener; Frances, wife of A. D. Preston; George E., Ella, wife of Lewis W. Adams, and William W., all of Ogden.

Ogden Centennial Pioneer Reminiscences 1802-1902
Compiled by Mrs. Augusta E. N. Rich
Assisted by Mrs. Sarah Flagg Smith and Mr. H. H. Goff
Press of John C. Moore Rochester, NY
Ogden, NY Aug. 7th, 1902 (no author listed)
On the west bank of the Merrimac river (sic), in the old Granite State,
there lies the small town of Salisbury, where, one hundred years ago, lived
a family named Ephriam Colby, who traced his ancestry back to one Anthony
Colby, who came from England in the year 1630, and located in that town
about 1639. This family consisted of a wife, Mary Eastman, and seven sons
and one daughter, name in the order of their birth, as follows: Ephriam,
Zaccheus, Mary, Abraham, Isaac, Timothy, Eastman, and Merrill, he being at
this time fifteen years of age.
On the fifth day of October, 1802, four of the said sons, namely,
Ephriam, Abraham, Isaac, and Timothy, got together their small belongings
and started from the old homestead with an ox team for what was then
considered the far western country. After a long, slow, and tedious
journey they arrived, near the Phelps and Gorham purchase, in the Genesee
country, west of the Genesee river. This tract being then owned by
Wadsworth and Murray, they each articled a lot in the then North Hampton
Township, County of Genesee, now the Town of Ogden, Monroe County. They
settled as follows:
Ephraim, on Lots 80 and 93, now owned and occupied by J. C. Ross and
Alexander G. Colby. Abraham, on Lot 68, now owned by Charles Kincaid, on
which he built a small log house, near the middle of the lot, on the Colby
road, and on the west bank of a creek, where, on the 24th day of May
following (1803), was born to them a son, whom they named John Murray, and
who was the first white child born in the Town of Ogden.
Isaac settled on Lot 67, now owned by William F. Ross, and Timothy on Lot
76, now belonging to the Fargo estate on Salmon Creek. Two years later the
father and mother, with the remaining three brothers, namely Eastman,
Zaccheus, and Merrill, came from the old home in New Hampshire in the same
primitive fashion and located as follows: Eastman on Lot 64, now owned by
the Leander Danforth Estate. Merrill on Lot 78, now the William Arnold
estate, opposite the Baptist Church. He shortly afterwards erected a frame
building on the southeast corner of Colby and Washington streets, where he
conducted a store for many years.
Zaccheus settled on the Ridge Road, in what is now the Town of Greece, he
being a physician, and practiced his profession successfully for years, as
well as conducting the farm and nursery on which he settled. Some years
after, on the organization of the State Militia, about 1810, Eastman Colby
was elected Colonel, and commanded a regiment at general training with great
ability and general satisfaction to all. On his journey here he was injured
by a severe cut by an ax while clearing away an obstruction to the road by a
tree which had fallen across it, from which, however, he in time entirely
recovered.
On the 8th day of October, 1803, there was born to Ephriam Colby a
daughter, whom they named Betsy, she being the first white female child born
in this town. She afterwards married John A. Fincher, and died in this town
in 1872.
Abraham Colby was the first Town Clerk of North Hampton, and continued in
that position until and after 1824, during the time that this town was known
as Fairfield and Parma successively, which covers a time of more than twenty
years, many records being in the hands of the narrator in his handwriting
and signed by him as Town Clerk. He also started the first nursery from
apple seeds brought with him from New Hampshire.
This reminds the narrator of an incident connected with this nursery which
his father, James Colby, the brother of John M. Colby, before mentioned, at
many times related to him. In the course of a few years one of the trees,
which had been transplanted from the nursery and set near the aforementioned
log house, a few blossoms which attracted the wondering attention of the
two boys, as it was explained to them what a wonderful fruit the apple was.
They continued to keep a diligent watch from the time of the blossoming, and
subsequently when two small apples appeared and gradually grew during the
whole season until the cold weather came in the fall, at which time their
father carefully picked them and placed them in a small cupboard near the
fireplace in the log house, where they were told that they would ripen, at
which time they would be allowed to share in the great fruit. They were
occasionally allowed to look at and even smell of the precious fruit, but
not to handle. Oh! That smell set them nearly crazy: they could hardly wait
for the happy time to come: but then, as ever human was and is, always
subject to disappointment and grief. It seems that there had come from the
East a family who had settled a short distance from Mr. Colby (whose name
need not be mentioned), and one day as the two boys and their mother were in
the old log house they heard a knock at the door, and on opening it they saw
a woman of the aforesaid family, who immediately upon entering turned up
her nose and commenced to sniff saying, "'Peers to me I smell apples" at the
same time, to the horror of the boys, she approached the cupboard, and on
opening the door, she saw and took the two apples, seated herself in a
chair, and deliberately ate them both, not even giving the others the core.
The feelings of the boys as well as the mother can better be imagined than
described. It is needless to say that she died shortly after, and left no
descendent to be heard from at this meeting.
The daughter Mary, before mentioned, of Ephriam Colby, married a man by
the name of Judah Church, and settled in Pontiac, Michigan, where she lived
many years and died, leaving a large family of children.
The surviving descendants of Abraham Colby on this, the centennial
celebration of the organization of the Town of Ogden, present to you this
the history of the Colby pioneers. In the archives of the town are the
records of duty well done and the faithful service of Abraham Colby and his
brothers.
The historical records narrated are taken from the diary of Abraham Colby,
kept on his journey from New Hampshire in 1802.
They have all gone to another and better world. They blazed the way with
others, in the early days of privation and hardship, but their works follow
them.

On the 1880 census for Dunburton, Merrimack, New Hampshire there is a family
group:
Colby, Ruth A. female 77 housekeeper
Willard M. 55 son farmer
Simms 78 carpenter
Ellen 69 housekeeper
Sarah E. 52 daughter
Charles W. 19 grandson works of farm
The general understanding on census is that all relationships are to the
first person listed in the household. Ruth is the widow of Symmes Sawyer
Colby's brother, Sargent. Willard is her sonand Sarah is her daughter.
"Simms" or Symmes and his 2nd wife Ellen seem to be living with them. So we
are back to Charles W. - who's child is he?
He could not have been Symmes' son John's anyway because John died in 1860 -
though I suppose Feb. 1861 he could have been a post-humouse baby. But, he
is not Symmes grandchild, but Sargent's. Sargent had a son named John - so
maybe that's the right one!!! I don't have any children for Sargent Colby &
Ruth Ann Colby's sons.

My regrets; in trying to sift through the vast Straw genealogy I have in my possession, it seems that the Colby line is not a direct lineage, but rather that some Straw uncles and aunts married into the Colby line. My specific ancestral line seems to wave at them in passing. I have a variety of Colby marriages in and around NH, but nothing on their children or even dates of marriage, for the most part. Sorry to disappoint!

Hello again,
My Pakefield Colbys are from an Edmund Colby b. 1850 who married Martha Ann Warford b abt 1849. They had 3 children, John William Warford Colby, Daniel Arthur (my gr. grandfather) and Mary Ann.
Daniel Arthur married Alice Maud Blake and had Neville Arthur (my grandfather), Dorothy Maud and Violet.
All these people were either born, lived, married etc. in Hethersett, Pakefield or Kirkley. Most were connected to the fishing trade in some way or other.
A cousin of my grandfathers emigrated to Australia in the 20's - where I understand they may have had connections.
I believe that Edmunds father was a William Colby - but although I have lots on the Pakefield Colbys (and they do all seem to be connected somehow- most of them lived next door to each other!) I cannot be sure of which William!!!
Does any of the mentioned fit in with your research?

Catherine.
