From the Bedford, NH vital records published in "The History of Bedford, NH" Nathan S. (of Warner) & Esther Darrah, Apr. 11, 1833 by Rev. F. A. Hodsdon This is Nathan S. Colby b. 18 Aug 1792 d. 2 Oct 1837 he was married twice (1) 3 Dec 1831 to Lucinda Evans b. 18 Feb 1803 d. 13 Mar 1832 (2nd) to Esther Darrah. Nathan and Lucinda had 3 children, George H. Colby b. 1822 and two daughters who died prior to 1835. I tried to find Esther Colby in the 1850 census for Warner, NH with no luck, in the 1840 for Warner, not luck. I did finally locate her in the 1840 census for Bedford, NH, looks like she went home after Nathan's death in 1837. Living with her in the 1840 census is one girl and a boy all under the age of 5, I suspect children of her and Nathan. What happened to these two children, what happened to Esther? Any help in solving this problem of Esther and the two children would be greatly appreciated.

There is an Isaac Colby, son of Isaac & Lucy Berry Colby in Hampstead. New Hampshire. I have him as born about 1801. In that family he could NOT have been born in 1807 as Jesse Hoyt Colby was born 26 Mar 1806 and Allen Colby was born 24 Feb 1808. So, perhaps he was a little older than he admitted??? Or, anyone got a better idea??

Cousin George G Colby born at Greece, Monroe Co., N.Y., May 1,1840 and was mustered into the Army December 12, 1861 as a private at Chillicothe, Mo. for three years. He was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant on January 7,1862 and served at Chillicothe until March. His Regiment, the 23rd Missouri Infantry, Co. K. moved to St. Louis until April.

Actually, there were 13 children. The first child - James Singer Colby was born 3 Oct 1799 and died 29 Jan 1821. The second child was named James Singer Colby again. He was born 14 Mar 1822 and lived to 21 Jul 1902. Babies! From 1820 to 1844!! Whew!!

Colby 1831 - 1905 b: 1831 d: 1905 ........................................... 4 Jeanette Colby Book Reviews These are some reviews from a recent issue of The Civil War News: The Civil War Papers of Lt. Colonel Newton T. Colby, New York Infantry. Edited by William E. Hughes. Illustrated, maps, 360 pp., 2003. McFarland & Company Inc., P.O. Box 611, Jefferson, NC 28640, $49.95 plus shipping. The Colbys came to America in 1640 and were no strangers when it came to serving their new country in time of war. Members of the Colby family served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, and Newton Colbys father, Merrill, was a lieutenant colonel in the New York State Militia. It was no surprise that Newton T. Colby would also serve in the militia and was ready and eager to volunteer when the Civil War broke out. Colby entered the 23rd New York Volunteer Infantry (Southern Tier Regiment) as a first lieutenant in May 1861. The unit was soon sent to Washington, D.C., where they went into camp and began learning the art of soldiering. They saw some minor action in skirmishes around Washington, and they were part of the occupation of Fredericksburg in early May 1862. Dissatisfied with the politics in the regiment, Lt. Colby resigned his commission later that month and returned home. He quickly made himself available, however, to a new regiment being raised, the 107th New York Volunteer Infantry. Entering the unit in September 1862, Colby was appointed captain in charge of Company I. The unit missed the battle of Second Manassas but would be ready for action when the great struggle at Antietam took place. The 107th New York was assigned to Gen. Joseph Mansfields Twelfth Corps and in this battle Newton Colby would see the elephant. He was not injured but the carnage had a lasting effect on him. In a letter to his father right after the battle he wrote: The dead and wounded rebels lay around very thick I went over the field on horseback the second day after the fight and such sights you never dreamed of. Colbys past eagerness for combat was now gone. One month later he writes, I care little for the war and profess no enthusiasm or patriotism. Despite Colbys lack of enthusiasm he was promoted to major on Dec. 31, 1862, and just under three months later he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. The unit fought at Chancellorsville where they took the fewest casualties in their brigade. Shortly after the battle Colby became very ill with typhoid fever and on Sept. 5, 1863, he received a medical discharge. Unable to recover sufficiently for front line service Colby still felt it was his duty to help in the war effort in some way. On Dec. 4, 1863, he joined the Veteran Reserve Corps (formerly the Invalid Corps) retaining his rank of lieutenant colonel. Stationed in Washington, D.C., he would soon receive a new assignment. Colby was ordered to report to Camp Morton prison in Indianapolis, Ind. Spending more time controlling unruly Union officers and men than the Confederate prisoners of war he was charged with, Colby would spend a very busy four months before his next assignment was received. Sent back to Washington, D.C., he was now a high ranking officer at the Old Capital Prison. There, as one might expect, Colby would be an eyewitness to history. For this reviewer, Colbys time at the Old Capitol Prison was the most interesting part of the book. Early on, the prison held mostly court-martialed Union officers, spies, and what might be best described as political prisoners. He met with Lincoln many times, officially and socially. Colby writes of famous prisoners Belle Boyd, Mary Surratt and Henry Wirz of Andersonville. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, Colbys quick action saved Confederate prisoners from a vengeful mob that attempted to burn down the prison. Colby lists Dr. Samuel Mudd, Junius Booth and John Ford of Fords Theatre under his supervision. He also had charge of three of the wartime Southern governors: Zebulon Vance of North Carolina, John Letcher of Virginia and Joseph Brown of Georgia. Colby became good friends with Vance and corresponded with him often after the war. The Civil War Papers of Newton T. Colby, New York Infantry, is a large collection of material that gives good insight into the day-by-day experiences of a Union officer. Colbys letters home are rich in detail of camp life, battle experiences and observations of what one young man thought of the world around him as the war progressed. His vivid description of the battle of Antietam makes it regrettable that he became seriously ill after Chancellorsville and did not participate in the great battles that came after. However, his time at the Old Capitol Prison makes up for that loss. There is a lot of extraneous material in the book that is of little interest and could have been eliminated. The index is weak with many important personalities not listed. However, I feel it was quite a task putting this book together and it is an important contribution to Civil War history. Michael A. Cavanaugh Michael A. Cavanaugh is the former editor and publisher of the Civil War Book Exchange. He has authored and co-authored five books on the war and is writing a biography on Maj. Gen.
