CHAPTER
I.
Abraham's ancestry.
There is an innate desire in all inquiring minds to learn everything that can be obtained of their ancestors, from records and tradition.
to the nomadic life of the early settlers of New the records of families in many cases are imperfect, England, the children having been born in different towns, and some
Owing
were not entered on record anywhere. We now propose tO' trace the ancestry and descendants of Abraham Colby, born in Amesbury, in 1715. In 1628 and 1629 about three hundred Puritans from England had settled in Salem and Charlestown. In July, 1630, about fifteen hundred more arrived, under the lead of John Winthrop, and settled on the peninsula they named Boston. Among this last arrival was Anthony Colby, from the east coast of England he had' espoused the Puritan faith and was No. 93 on the list of church members. In 1632 we find him in Cambridge, where he married Susanna, probably a daughter of William Sargent in 1634 he removed to Salisbury, Mas. in 1647 he sold his house and two-acre lot to William Sargent, a seaman, and removed west of the Powow river, that separates Salisbury from Amesbury, where in 1658 he had sixty acres of land given him, and in 1660 his son John had forty, and a town lot for his son John, west of
; ; ;
the pond. The children of

John,

Martha E. commenced teaching at the age of fourteen and taught school until her marriage. She was engaged as colporteur by the Baptist Publica-

capacity, urged her to be the city missionary of Chelsea, and she has been in that business ever since. She has
taken care of fourteen abandoned infants and given them into good homes. At the age of seventy she
enjoys uninterrupted good health and her vigor is not abated. Her labors since the death of her husband
