JRN, Thank you so much for taking the time to look at all the headstones. I have been trying for years to find out who my gg-grandfathers parents were. He was named Smith Colby and was born in Erie Co., NY, in 1828. In 1850 he and an Amanda and Edwin Colby were living with a family in Sardinia named Flavel and Lydia OSBURN (I have never found Flavel and Lydia in any census past 1850). I don't know if Amanda was his wife and Edwin his child or if they were brothers and sister. Edwin was young enough to be a child of Smith and Amanda if they were married to each other. He moved to Ogle Co., Illinois by 1859, where he married my gg-grandmother, and then to Iowa from there. I have been checking census records from 1840 and 1830 and the Peter Colby you listed in Protection Cemetery was one of the Colby men who could have been his father as he had a son under 5 years old in the 1830 NY census. Most of the other Colby men in those census years with sons the correct age have been researched or had wills listing their childrens names and my Smith Colby was not listed in their wills. Thank You again for taking the time to go to the cemetery and find all that wonderful information! Nancy Colby Shockey
