Updated September 5, 2000LoisSaunders P.O. Box 1246 Airway Heights,WA 99001 | Our branch of the Colby family in America began with Anthony Colby's arrival in New England in the 1600's. Thanks to the efforts of Patricia Colby Hovell, we have a direct link from Pat's father, George Adams Colby (my grandfather) to Anthony. Anthony was born in England, and arrived here by way of the Winthrop Fleet. Anthony and his wife, Susannah Haddon, had a large family, and true to tradition, Grandpa and Grandma had nine children of their own, including two sets of twins back-to-back. My mother, Elma Dorothy Colby Anderson was one of those twins. The eldest daughter of the nine children is Aunt Emily Weise. She will be 90 yrs old in August. We do not have a lot of information about the spouses of the various Colby men, and any information would be appreciated. |
