Todd - I descend from Spencer Colby's brother, Philander Moore Colby! Do you live in the Grand Rapids area? I am in Detroit. I have to run. I am on my way out to church. I will get back with you this evening. I'm excited to find another cousin!

In my line of Colbys, (I descend from Spencer Colby in Moose River, Maine) there are several Benjamins...though the dates don't line up. The Colbys did, however, go from Moose River to Grand Rapids after the Civil War. Cousins? Ambrose Colby b. Amesbury, MA May 11, 1700 son: Benjamin, b. Boston, October 20, 1723 son: Benjamin b. Wiscassett, Maine 1750, d. Embden, Maine 1843. Could he have been father to your Grand Rapids Benjamin? Todd R.
