He died on 15 NOV 1873 at Napa, Napa County, California. Benaiah Colby apparently changed his name to Benjamin Franklin (BF) Colby upon leaving Corinth. Based on data furnished by Mrs Dorothy (Strong) Williamson at the Colby Clan Reunion in Amesbury, MA, (on 08/19/1995) BF married Caroline Augusta Plummer at the 3rd Baptist Church (Rev. Thorndike C. Jameson, officiating), Providence, RI on October 3, 1849, as recorded on Nov 7, 1849. Their only child (Jennie) was born in Rutland, VT on November 11, 1857, per a certified copy of her Birth Certificate. BF relocated to San Francisco, Ca in 1860 and ran a brick manufacturing company (Colby & Barker Brickmakers per the 1864 San Francisco City Directory) in partnership with Isaac Barker. Caroline and Jennie joined BF in San Francisco in 1862 as stated in a letter from BF to his brother, Edson Emerson Colby, Sr. The 1871 San Francisco City Directory listed Benjamin Franklin Colby, Contractor, as living at 16 Jessie Street. BF was injured in Napa, Ca, on October 22, 1873, when thrown from a wagon as the team of horses ran away (per a newspaper account) and BF passed away on Nov 15, 1873 as a result of his injuries. The newspaper account cites "..Cox & Colby, the Asylum brick contractors." Benjamin Franklin Colby was first buried in San Francisco. Then on February 2, 1877, his remains were relocated to Grave #20, Lot 747, Willow Avenue, Pine Grove Cemetery, Lynn, MA. Caroline Augusta was buried at Grave #18 on January 21, 1909. Article from the "The San Francisco Chronicle" Monday, November 17, 1873: RUNAWAYS.--On Friday evening of last week, a runaway occurred at the Asylum grounds, which, though it might have resulted fatally, fortunately was only confined to laying up for a day or so Mr. Colby, of Cox & Colby, the Asylum brick contractors. Mr Colby was standing behind the driver of a two-horse wagon loaded with doors and window frames, and a Spaniard, passing the team, his horse on a dead run, scared the horses. The driver jerked the lines severely, and the horses lunging forward, threw him off the wagon onto the double-trees. Mr Colby managed to get hold of the lines, when the wheels ran into a ditch, and a portion of the load slid off, taking Mr Colby with it; not, however, before the driver had regained his position and caught the lines from Mr Colby's hands. Mr Colby was thrown on his head, which was severely contused, and the wagon, still rather heavily loaded, passed over his thigh. Fortunately no bones were broken and a stiffening of the sinews is all that he has had to suffer from, and he is now nearly recovered from the effects of an accident that, to a less fleshly man, might have been attended with a compound fracture of the thigh. The driver managed to stop the team soon after he recovered his place on the wagon. Parents: Jonathan COLBY and Sally RING. Spouse: Caroline Augusta PLUMMER. Benaiah F. COLBY and Caroline Augusta PLUMMER were married on 3 OCT 1849 in Providence, Providence County, Rhode Island. Children were: Jennie Adele COLBY. Benjamin COLBY was christened/baptized on 20 OCT 1732 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. (BOOK SOURCE: "The Colby Family in Early America" by Frederick Lewis Weis, Caledonia, The Colonial Press, pub 1970.) Parents: Obadiah COLBY and Elizabeth GEE. Benjamin COLBY was christened/baptized on 20 OCT 1723 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was living in 1747 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. He died about 1760 at Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts. He had administration granted for estate on 2 OCT 1766. Comment 1: Walker's book says that Benjamin's son Benjamin lived with his grandparents, Ambrose and Betty, so Benjamin must have died young. Benjamin's son had inherited the property of his grandfather Ambrose by 1799, according to Walker. There are no records of Benjamin's wife or children to prove the connection, except the family bible of the Conant family of Maine. from 'Lineage of Philander M. Colby of Arborville & Bradshaw, Ne., and Spencer Colby of Hamilton County, Ne. by Claudia K. (Miller) Forster Benjamin Colby, father of Benjamin and son of Ambrose, was baptised on October 20, 1723. Comment 2: Morton T. Goodrich, who compiled "The Ancestors of Forrest H. Colby" in 1926, states that he had not found the record of his marriage, but since he was known as a coaster, he presumably married a girl from some Massachusetts coast town or possibly from Wiscasset. He was in Wiscasset, then Pownalborough, in 1749, when he signed a petition asking for the incorporation of the town. He settled the estate of his brother Ambrose in 1766. Some have said that his estate was settled by Ambrose but this could not be true because the records are not at Wiscasset and the records would be at the county seat of the county in which the testator died. See Essex County Records. The census of 1790 shows that the only Colbys then living in Wiscasset were in the families of two widows, Betty and Susannah. Betty was the widow of Ambrose and was Benjamin's mother. She was evidently living with three grandchildren who were children of her son Benjamin. The evidence is not conclusive, however. Susannah was either the widow of this Benjamin or of his youngest brother, Nicholas. There were four boys over sixteen and three girls in her family.

He died on 9 NOV 1816 at Sanbornton, Belknap County, New Hampshire. Benjamin was the "first of his name in town," though he probably did not settle earlier than his brother Isaac, or till after his marriage. He bought the farm, lot No. 10, 2d Div., north slope of Colby Hill, now owned by Emerson Giles's heirs (1878); built his original house just north of the present, and kept it many years as one of the first taverns; built also the present Leavitt house, on the range, for his son Benjamin, Jr. He was captain in the militia; selectman, 1782.
