Colby kin….This is the Marquette High School Class of 1913. Top left: Rox Colby. I’m trying to figure out of this could be Irvin Ray Colby from my family tree.
Rox sounds like a nickname. Anybody have a clue?

Greetings.
Have been trying to sort out Philander Colby’s marriages and children. He is my great great uncle, brother to Spencer Colby. And I’m newly connected to Philander’s great granddaughter in Nebraska.
In the 1860 Census he is in Moose River Maine married to Matilan, with children I have been assigning to Mary Ann Holden and him: Mary Ann (8), Ambrose (6, Philander’s father was Ambrose), George (4), Emma (2). . There is also, in the household, Clemena Moore, (62, b. Massachusetts.). Philander’s middle name is Moore.
Help! This would make Matilan, nor Mary Ann, his first wife? He had a third wife, in Nebraska years, where he died, named Mary Ann Ramsey Barber.
Grateful for entanglement.
Todd R. Nelson, great great grandson of Spencer and Josephine Colby. Moose River to Nebraska.
