All, I discovered another online history book for your reading pleasure. I think that some of these books free on the web may disappear at some time and the links may no longer be valid.  So when you find one please pass it on so that other family history researchers can read the text while it still exists. CAPTAIN ABRAHAM COLBY. Captain John Colby was the son of Gee and grandson of Obediah, and was born in Salisbury, Mass., November 28, 1785. Gee was born December 16, 1761, and died April 21, 1822 ; he had four children —Abraham, born in 1785; Mary O., born September 13, 1787; John, born March 27,1790; and Hannah, born in June, 1810. Captain Abraham Colby married Sarah, daughter of Colonel Jonathan Smith, and had two children, viz., Mary O. and Samuel S. Captain Colby in early life learned the trade of tallow chandler, and later in life was engaged in the fishing business, sending out vessels for that purpose, and was also employed for a time in the coasting trade. In 1812 he went privateering in the ship "America;" finally retired from active business and settled down to enjoy the fruits of his labors. He was president of the Amesbury and Salisbury Savings Bank for several years, and was one of the substantial citizens of the town. He died September 15, 1865.

Found out about a year ago that I'm connected to the Colby family from Corinth. GGG grandfather was Caleb, GG grandfather Cornelius, G grandmother Addie. Do we have a connection? I'm trying to find out what happened to my g grandmother's sister, Mary. Can't seem to find out if she ever married.
