Any ideas which George Henry Colby is referred to in this web page that I found while searching Colbys in the military? I have one George H. Colby in my database that fits, but I do not know if he is the same person. Bob Colby ----------------------------------- "My great grandfather, George Henry Colby (father of my grandmother, Susan Colby Tobey), for whom my father was named, shared the Rough Rider's spirit. In 1898, at the age of fifty-seven, he answered McKinley's call for volunteers for the war with Spain, and joined the New Hampshire 1st Regiment."
