Message Board Post:
I am trying to find some information about some Coleby's who left England but are reported to have arrived in the Bahamas from Scotland (and i believe also via Central America). Did anyone in their search come across some of their family who might fall into that category?

Illinois University Press, 2007. xiii + 255 pp. Illustrations, notes,
bibliography, appendix, index. $29.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8093-2771-3.

Emerson continues to challenge prevailing theories of Mary's
"Institutionalization Episode" and the source of her release. Prior to
her trip to Bellevue Sanitarium, Mary attempted to commit suicide by
obtaining a lethal concoction of medicine, but she was continually
foiled by a diligent pharmacist. Emerson maintains that Mary's suicide
attempt only demonstrates that she was disturbed, not that she sought
to escape the perceived bonds placed on her life by her son. He also
disagrees with Baker that her suicide attempt was a "false story
planted" by Robert in the newspapers to justify his actions (p. 70).
Emerson supports his claim by citing five separate newspapers that
carried the story. Emerson also argues that Mary's tenure at Bellevue
was not as harsh as the contemporary press or other biographers have
portrayed. She had a private suite on the second floor with a
bathroom. Her door was locked at night, and her windows had a wire
mesh in place to prevent her from committing suicide. Her son visited
his mother every week. Mary seemed quite happy from the accounts
provided by Robert and the Bellevue Sanitarium staff, but she
increasingly longed for contact with the outside world, specifically
with Myra Bradwell, one of her Chicago friends. It has been believed
by historians that Bradwell planned Mary's release from Bellevue, and
based on information found in the lost letters of Mary, she secretly
was the architect of her release, which occurred in September 1875. On
June 15, 1876, Mary's property was restored to her, and she left for
Europe once again.

Yes there are Irish Colby's, but I think they are extinct today I traced out
of the Colby's for KATE sometime ago thru a fellow genealogist and friend at
Trinity College in Dublin. It is no longer Queens County, it's Laois County
today. Queens went out with the Irish rebellion in 1921. I have never been
able to find any reference in all of Ireland for any current Colby's. My
personal feeling is that they all upped and left and came to America. This
was not uncommon my Crunkletons did the same thing in 1729, all of them left
Donegal County, Ireland and came to Philadelphia. I did find the church that
the Laois Colby's belonged to, but nothing more. The Irish records for the
most part are non-existant.

Ron and all,
I found this website with some Colby information that seems to summarize a little of what we know.
Take a look at it when you have time.
I have not had a chance to review the information.
