My John Colby was also born in New Hampshire. Some say he was born in Vermont, but Vermont was not a state in 1771 when my John Colby was born. The 1850 census records for Butler Co, PA (living with his daughter and son-in-law Charles and Susannah Thompson)state that he was born in New Hampshire.
Hope we are talking about the same John Colby - he became a Baptist preacher and moved from Vermont to Holland NY then Sardinia NY.

Hi All
I am a new member to the list so thought I would introduce myself and describe my interests.
I am a descendant of a William Henry COLBY born in abt 1853 supposedly in Yorkshire, England and died in South Africa before 1911. I cannot determine when William (some family records say his name was George!) went to South Africa, but he certainly got married out there (in King William’s Town, Eastern Cape) on the 2 Jul 1874 to Johanna Dorothea (Dora) Charlotte BOHNHORST (she was born in Osterode, Hannover (Germany) in Sep 1851 and emigrated with her family to South Africa in 1865. William and Johanna had eight children who married into the following family lines – BURGESS, PEDLAR, DICKEY, COOPER, NEL, MAYER, PARKER, GREENWOOD and DAHL. The eldest son was Ernest Henry COLBY (1875-1945), he married Ellen BURGESS and they eventually settled in Natal. I am descended from this part of the family. I see from the archives that a Leeanne has written in about this family – she is my mother’s first cousin, so I am trying to reconnect with her.
I would love to hear from anyone with links or interests in these families, but would particularly like to know if anyone has a William Henry COLBY born abt 1853 in Yorkshire in their family tree. All my searches on Ancestry and Find My Past have drawn a blank so far and I would love to break this brick wall.
Best wishes
