land 160 rods to a road leading to Londonderry, thence northerly by said road about 40 rods to land of Jabez Hoit, thence northwesterly by said Hoit's land, about 160 rods. to the aforesaid road, thence southeasterly by the road about 40 rods to the bound first mentioned."
The place thus described was the family home for the next seven years.
In 1811, Oct. 28, Isaac Colby bought of Thomas Iluse, for $4500, Governor's Island, in Island Pond, and the old Wentworth mansion thenceforth was the home of the family. until he deeded the island to Lucy Everett, of Boston, Mass., Sept. 8. 1815.
The Colbys then moved to what is now known as Herrick farm and mill. between Derry Dock and Island Pond, which previously had been owned by the father (David, 2d), and the grandfather (David, 1st), of Isaac Colby, and there they dwelt until 1846.
Isaac Colby, though a wheelwright and farmer, was best known in the region as a builder, and according to tradition framed many of the best houses in Hampstead street and in East Derry, one of the last in the latter village being that known as the " Elms Hotel."
His wife having become a member of this church, Sept. 2, 1810, and having five children baptized in the church May 6, 1812, the family apparently worshipped in Hampstead until 1833. At that time Mrs. Lucy ( Berry) Colby was dismissed from the church to the First Church at East Derry, with which church her daughter Lucy united in 1831, her son, James Knight, in 1833, and her son, George W., in 1838.
In 1846, when the infirmities of age led Isaac Colby and his wife to give up the management of the farm and mill (now Herrick) to their son, George Washington, they went to live, after a short stay in Boston, with their son, James K. Colby, in St. Johnsbury, Vt.
Isaac Colby joined the church by profession of faith, July

10, 1853. The few remaining years of their lives were spent peacefully and happily in the home of their son.
Lucy Berry Colby died after a brief illness, Nov. 7. 1854, aged 76 years. She was surrounded by her daughter Lucy, her sons, Nathaniel and James K., and when the latter asked her, shortly before her death, if she would like to recover, she replied, " No, why should I ? I have lived to a good old age," and then bolstered up in bed, surprised all by singing the verse beginning, " Fly swift around, ye wheels of time."
Isaac Colby died March 24, 1856, in his 80th year. The bodies of both Isaac Colby and his wife were buried in the Colby lot in the Mt. Pleasant cemetery in St. Johnsbury, Vt., where are also interred the bodies of their sons, Nathaniel B. and James K. Colby, and their wives.
The church records in Hampstead contain in the records of baptism the following entry, made while the Colby family dwelt in the Wentworth mansion on Governor's Island : " Nathaniel Baree (should be Berry), Jesse Hoyt, Allen Lucy, and James Knight (known as James Kelsea Colby in his mature years, but evidently receiving his name from their family physician, Dr. James Knight) (see 202).
