birth of childDorothy Colby Amesbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA ⇓ It's likely the Dorothy who married Josiah Davis was the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Philbrick) Colby born in Amesbury. Along with living nearby siblings in Hampstead, she named her first son James Johnson, the name of her mother's first husband.
