NOTE. For later generations of the family of Ebenezer," see Runnels' Hist. Sanbornton, from which much of this has been taken.
* There is a liability that (108) Davids and (97) David+ may be confounded, as both were b. in 1711, in A. It is possible that (108) may have d. unm. and that the above mar. and child belong to (97), who was certainly liv. in 1738, when he ment. his "uncle Jacob Colby" in a deed. The name "Jacob" would be more likely to be given to a son of (97) David.
t Hist. Hampstead erroneously states that she was an original member of the Hmst. chh., in 1752. Mary Colby, the member of that chh., was wife of (38) Joseph+ Colby.
