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. Sarah Colby, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Philbrick) Colby, also married Obediah Davis, brother of Josiah - a sign that two brothers probably married two sisters. There was another Dorothy Colby born in Hampstead about the same time, a daughter of Enoch Colby, but Enoch's will shows that this Dorothy married into the Chase family. 5 Sources ⇓ |
