there were but one Thomas and Hannah, and where to place the chil. Judith and Hannah is uncertain. Thomas would not be likely to be bp. after renew- ing covenant. We know of but two Thomas Colbys in the W. Parish about that time, (51) Thomas' and (728) Thomas. (51) Thomas was prob, bp. in infancy. His son, (153) Jonathan,5 may have been bp. in 1732 on account of his grandfather, Dea. (16) Thomas,3 the father, (51) Thomas, not having re- rewed covenant till 1750. It is possible that Sarah, wife of (51) Thomas, d. ab. 1742, and that he m. a second wife, Hannah; but if so, they could not have been long in the W. Parish, and he could not have been "Jr." The term " Jr." is used only in the records of the births of (731) Mary and (732). Thomas, and on W. Parish tax lists, 1753-'S, (37) Thomas+ prob. being Sen.
