4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):  

The book, The Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts ; with some related families of Newbury, Haverhill, Ipswich and Hampton, provides a short sketch of Joseph Colby and his family[1].

Joseph Colby was born 30 July 1707 in Amesbury, Massachusetts, the son of Joseph and Anne (Bartlett) Colby[1-2].

On 18 March 1735/6, Joseph Colby married Abigail Warren (or perhaps Worthen?) in Amesbury[1,3].  They had five children between 1737 and 1750, all born in Amesbury and recorded in the town records[1]:

*  Ephraim Colby (1737-1737).
*  Joseph Colby (1739-1839), married Molly --?-- (1750-????) before 1776, resided in Concord, New Hampshire.
*  Abigail Colby (1742-????).
*  Hannah Colby (1745-????). married John Underhill (1745-1816) in 1767, resided in Chester, New Hampshire.
*  Ephraim Colby (1750-????). 

Joseph Colby Jr renewed the covenant on 8 July 1739 at First Amesbury Church in Amesbury[1].

He was probably the Joseph Colby who resided in Chester, New Hampshire in 1760 and 1768[1].

There are no death or burial records for Joseph or Abigail Colby in the Amesbury, Massachusetts or Chester, New Hampshire areas.

There are no probate records for Joseph Colby in the Essex County, Massachusetts or Rockingham County, New Hampshire probate court records.
