Birth:
Samuel COLBY was born on 9 MAR 1671 in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. He died in 1746 at Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. He had administration granted for estate on 29 SEP 1746 in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.
In a letter to the Boston Transcript, a New England Genealogy publication, asks "I have read that three decendants of Anthony of Amesbury - Ruggles, Ambrose and Benjamin went to Wiscasset, Maine." This is true. In 1749, a petition was sent to the governor of Massachusetts (Maine was part of Mass untill 1820) asking that Wiscasset be made an independent town. This petition was signed by Ambrose, Ruggles, (Brothers) and Benj'n Colby. A similar petition was repeated in 1754 signed by Ambrose. The town was incorporated in 1760 as Pownalborough, in honor of Governor Pownall. It later was divided into three towns, Wiscasset, Dresden, and Alna. fron Lineage of Philander M. Colby of Arborville $ Bradshaw, Ne., and Spencer Colby of Hamilton County, Ne. by Claudia K. (Miller) Forster.

Widow Dorothy was appointed administratrix of the estate of Samuel, 29 September 1746, and the estate was divided, 1748/1750. As Samuel Colby of Amesbury, son of Samuel Colby, deceased, he petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts for a grant of land west of the Connecticut River in Massachusetts for the services of his father in King Philip's War: the petition was not granted.

Notes:

Birth:
Ruggles COLBY was born on 10 JUN 1711 in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. (SOURCE: Early Vital Records of Essex County, Massachusetts to 1850. Amesbury, listed as Colbey.) He died before 1790 at Edgecomb, Lincoln County, Maine. He was a Shipwright in Edgecomb, Lincoln County, Maine. They lived in Amesbury, East Parish, South Hampton, New Hampshire and settled in Wiscasset, Maine in 1749. He served in the militia in 1757. The record of baptisim of the First Amesbury Church, gives Mary as the name of marriag, but Hoyt says this is probaly a mistake as Abigail wife of Ruggles' was baptized and owned the covenant and was baptized at the First Church in Amesbury 16 May 1736. He was a shipwright and one of the early settlers on the Sheepscot River, Maine. On 26 January 1774 he signed a petition for the incorporation of a new town called Freetown, later Edgecomb, Maine. He signed a petition as one of the inhabitants of Kennebec River for protection 22 April 1755. Ruggles sold half of 1800 acres to Elijah Packard of Bridgewater, Mass. on 10 October 1765; 102 aacres to Joseph Huff on 22 March 1782 and to Moses Huff 50 acres on 1 October 1789. A number of his grandchildren were living at Wiscassed, Edgecomb, and other nearby places, and we suppose them to be the children of his son Edmund Colby.
