COLBY, Anthony (I8421)
 
7553 The first record of a Colby in Sempringham is a deed dated 3 Febuary 1421/2 by which William Stanenstone of Pointon conveyed to John oche and his wife Alice three selions of land in the fields west of Pointon, two of which parcels were bounded by William Colby. This William Colby was undoubtedly an ancestor of the Colbys who lived in the village of Pointon in the parish of Sempringham several generations later. On 7 May 1505 Robert Rogerson of Pointon granted to John Huchyson and Robert Colby of Pointon "one messuage and 20 acres of land and meadow with all of the appurtenances in the village and the fields of Pointon, which lately was inherited after the decease of William Rogerson his father and Alice his wife." This Robert Colby was probably the great grandson of the above william Colby and was probably the grandfather of Matthew Colby, the father of Thomas, and grandfather of Anthony. The name of the father of Matthew is a mystery.

7555 The following NGSQ article is quoted in it's entirety:
ANTHONY COLBY OF MASSACHUSETTS, 1633

By John G. Hunt*

"It is tempting to seize hold of a trans-Atlantic personage of noble descent as our own ancestor, simply because he bore the same baptismal name and surname as were borne by our known first ancestor to land in America. The science of genealogy would benefit if we were actuated more by a desire to determine what is provable, than by a wish to aspire to noble ancestry.

In this connection, let us examine what appears to be an unwarranted claim to royal ancestry. In "Living Descendants of Blood Royal, 4:757 (reviewed in the "Quarterly" 59:316-7), Count d' Angerville printed a line of descent from King Edward I for Anthony (1) Colby of Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1630. It claims that Anthony was the fourth son of Thomas and Beatrice (Felton) Colby of Beccles, Suffolk, and Roos Hall, and cites the evidence as a "pedigree of family of Colby of Brundich and Beccles, College of Arms, extracted by an officer of the College for Colonel Ordway, 1967."

What is the basis for asserting that the Anthony Colby who came to Massachusetts by September 1633 is the same Anthony who was son of Thomas of Beccles? Frederick Lewis Weis, "The Colby Family (Concord, Mass., 1970), page 3, shows that Anthony (1) Colby was born in 1595. If so, he cannot have been son of Beatrix and Thomas, for the will of Thomas was dated in June 1588 and proved 22 November 1588. (1)

Moreover, there has been cited nowhere any indication that Anthony (1) Colby was a member of the gentry. His name was not given the prefix "Mr." in usage during his lifetime, as far as can be determined. As the late Donald Lines Jacobus used to insist, it would have been contrary to normal usage for a member of the gentry to have shown up in America without being accorded to style "Mr."

Contrary to alleged royal descent, there is nothing in the Banks manuscripts that justifies any supposition that Anthony (1) Colby descended from the Colby family of Beccles. Indeed, Colonel Banks supposed that the New England settler was akin to one Anthony Colby of Aswardby, Lincolnshire, six miles from Sempringham, home of the earl of Lincoln, and of Thomas Dudley, and five miles from Horbling, the home of Bradstreet.

Each time such unsupported pedigrees are printed, the cause of genealogy receives a setback. The burden of proof lies upon those claiming a royal ancestry for Anthony (1) Colby. Claimants must cite parish register entries, wills, and/or other sound evidence."

COLBY, Anthony (I8421)
 
7556 the middle initial comes from Death Record. POOLE, Joseph W. (I53)
 
7557 The name Bukovina came into official use in 1775 with the region's annexation from the Principality of Moldavia to the possessions of the Habsburg Monarchy, which became Austrian Empire in 1804, and Austria-Hungary in 1867.
The official German name, die Bukowina, of the province under Austrian rule (1775?1918), was derived from the Polish form Bukowina, which in turn was derived from the Ukrainian word, ???????? (Bukovyna), and the common Slavic form of buk, meaning beech tree (??? [buk] as, for example, in Ukrainian or, even, Buche in German). Another German name for the region, das Buchenland, is mostly used in poetry, and means "beech land", or "the land of beech trees". In Romanian, in literary or poetic contexts, the name ?ara Fagilor ("the land of beech trees") is sometimes used.
Nowadays, in Ukraine the name is unofficial, but is common when referring to the Chernivtsi Oblast as over 2/3 of the oblast is the northern part of Bukovina. In Romania the term Northern Bucovina is sometimes synonymous with the entire Chernivtsi Oblast of Ukraine, and (Southern) Bucovina to Suceava County of Romania (although 30% of the present day Suceava County covers territory outside of the historical Bukovina.)
In English, an alternative form is The Bukovina, increasingly an archaism, which, however, is found in older literature. Taken from wikipedia.org Mar 2013.

7558 The researcher of this tree: [http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/s/h/o/Richard-P-Showers/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0254.html. ] believes the William Ward, father of Alfred Charles, is the son of Henry Ward who married Mary Glasscock. I do not have it this way, since Wm Ward, c1811, who married Jane Shelton in Tottenham gave Henry Ward, bricklayer as his father, it is likely that the Wm who married Sarah Quilter was the son of Silvanus. Mar 2012. Having looked at the marriage record between William & Sarah Quilter in Braintree on 30 Dec 1836, it is recorded as William WOOD, and this is clear however he did not sign his name so cannot be 100% sure it is Wood, although they were both listed as of this parish [Braintree], which I believe excludes the marriage. Apr 2012. WARD, William (I9913)
 
7559 their sons Howard & Walter were adopted by Ben WARD CAMP, John Lassiter (I2753)
 
7560 There are 2 references to parents Robert Nesbitt & Jane; both are for same marriage of Robert McKNIGHT, 41, Co Monaghan Ireland, Toronto, s/o Matthew McKNIGHT & Sallie Anne BARBER, married Martha NESBITT, 36, Co Monaghan Ireland, Toronto, d/o Robert NESBITT & Jane RODGER, witn: Thomas G PLESMAN & Margaret NESBITT of Toronto, 22 Jan 1866; from Vol 67, page 84, return "B": by Rev Alexander Topp, Knox Presbyterian. ; source Transcribed from Ontario Archives microfilm MS 248, reel 15 volume 67: Toronto 1866-69 . as found on Rootsweb, Aug 2011., and other is Jane Rolger (which is likely a typo). [LDS IGI person submission] UNKNOWN [POSSIBLY RODGER], Jane (I42)
 
7561 There are 2 William Cocking families living in the Broadholme area at this time and their records are likely intermixed as they named children the same. Lois Squire of NY is researching the other William Cocking line. Aug 2011. COCKING, William (I8643)
 
7562 There are a few users on Ancestry.com who have Ann's parents as William Ward and Elizabeth (some have Saggers maiden name) however none contacted have any evidence for the name William. I have assumed the Robert Ward who was living in Linton, Camb for the 1841 census is the father. Again this is only an assumption as yet. Mar 2012. WARD, Ann (I10071)
 
7563 there is a burial for a William Cocking, 4 Jul 1796 in East Markham, St. John the Baptist. National Burial Index FindMyPast.co.uk . Sept 2011. COCKING, William (I8608)

[This looks to be the same family] Mar 2013. HILL, Jacob (I10547)
 
7566 there is a George who was buried in Tuxford 1814, born c1774, so assume is same person, but may not be. Findmypast burials. Sept 2011. COCKING, George (I8613)
 
7567 There is a John SHAPKA born about 1900 in Orshivtsi, Chernivitsi, Ukraine, who died in Kelowns in 1974 on Ancestry.com. Another is Orshivitsi, Bukovina, Ukraine. Theseare examples of a town where they could have come from. Mar 2013. SHAPKA, Andrew "Andy" (I4761)
 
7568 there is a Joseph Rider, born about 1766 in Cambridge, son of Josephum Rider & Ann Reynolds, whose brother William lived in Saffron Walden for the 1841 & 51 census. Likely is the correct family. Mar 2012. RIDER, Joseph (I10158)

7571 There is a Letitia Cocking, age 0, who was burried in Tealby 30 May 1794, so possibly same person. LDS film # 1450431. Aug 2011. COCKING, Letitia (I6919)
 
7572 there is a marriage for their son in 1907, which suggests is same person. Nov 2011. Family: MURRAY, Joseph / CHEAVINS, Harriet (F2325)

7578 there is a Susanna Cocking whose death is recorded at Spilsby Q4, v7a, p31. LAMB, Susanna (I8723)
 
7579 There is a Warren Pool born 1784 in Abington MA, son of Joseph & Mehitable. A possible family that our Joseph may have been a descendant of, although this is again the family with a Joseph Warren Poole b c 1810, son of Warren & Grace Bates, which we have already discounted. Oct 2011. POOLE, Joseph W. (I53)
 
7580 There is a William Cocking burried in 1818, age 85 [1733] in Brothertoft, Lincs.; & one for 1817 [b1736] in Laxton, Notts. found at FindMyPast.co.uk . Nov 2011 COCKING, William (I8608)
 
7581 there is also a William SHAPKA family in Vilna, AB. on the voter list, so might actually be him? And another in 1963 in Bellis, AB. Not sure. SHAPKA, William L. "Bill" (I10964)
 
7582 There is an application to the Sons of American Revolution society in 1928 giving particulars of ancestry back to Major William Calder, through our Robert Calder. While this does not prove his ancestry it does support others who believe it is the correct line. Oct 2011. CALDER, Robert (I55)
 
7583 There is an Edward Fenwick, baptised 6 Jul 1733, in Hainton, son of Edward & Ann. A good possibility. There are siblings as well in LDS batch C028852 . FENWICK, Edward (I6904)
 
7584 There is an Eliza Robinson, who died in Malden, age 87y 7 m 23d, widow, born Charleston, parents Samuel & Abby (both born Charleston). [Could be 89 years old, since in 1870 census she appears to be 87] Feb 2011. LARKIN, Elizabeth (I108)
 
7585 there is baptism (only one found between 1800-1810, for a Catherine Christie, is 02/03/1806 at Logie (Perth) dau of James Christie & Catherine HAGGERT. Scotlandspeople. Feb 2013. CHRISTIE, Catherine (I10562)
 
7586 There is no direct proof that the Letitia Fenwick, who married William Cocking is the daughter of Edward & Ann Fenwick, although her age at death would suggest is correct person. Mar 2011. Jim Ward FENWICK, Letitia (I74)
 
7587 There is no direct proof that the William Cocking who is the father of Stephen is the one who married Sarah Dyas. This baptism record is selected based on the 1851 census which records William's birthplace as Tealby, coupled with the use of Fenwick for middle names of some of his descendants. Also the "F" of his middle name is assumed to refer to Fenwick. Mar 2011. Jim Ward. COCKING, William Fenwick (I37)
 
7588 there is only 1 Nunn family in Kempt in 1861 when Sarah Nunn married George B. Vaughan. Shows as Samuel D. Nunn on census, however middle initial is J. on death record, and Samuel John on marriage record. NUNN, Samuel John (I51)

7593 This includes Brown's Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery, conc 6E, lot 9. CHEAVIN, Mary Ann (I6254)
 
7594 This info on her family from web site of Rick Mann, (rmcpmann@yahoo.com) in 2010. CHRISTNER, Jane Elizabeth (I6801)

7596 this is likely the correct marriage, assuming Amelia is same as Emeline. Supported by fact that Isaac Smart, age 15 is living with them on the 1841 census. Mar 2012. Family: WARREN, George / SMART, Amelia \ Emeline (F2691)
