He died in 1915. Theodore I. Colby has for many years been engaged in blacksmithing in Rockford, Winnebago County, Illinois and is now doing business at No. 128 North Madison Street. In the pursuit of that trade he has acquired quite a little fortune and is now well-to-do. His shop is 33x60 feet, and he employs two men to help him. On coming to Rockford, he did journeyman work for three years for Sam Church, and then embarked in business for himself. He came to the city from Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, where he completed his trade, having begun it in Canada. Mr Colby was born in the township of Richford, Tioga County, New York, and when a lad of ten years removed to the Province of Ontario, Canada, with his parents, Charles and Mary A. (Shaffer) Colby. The paternal grandfather of our subject, David Colby, was a native of Maine and of English descent. He married Miss Farrington, of the Pine Tree State (Maine), and a part of their family was reared in Maine, but in an early day they removed to Tioga County, New York, where they resided upon a farm throughout the remainder of their lives. They were among the pioneer settlers of that county and were highly respected people. In religious belief, it is though they were Universalists, as was their son, Charles, the father of our subject. On removing to Canada, the latter located on a farm at Chatham, where he is still living at the very advanced age of 91 years. He is still hale and hearty, the infirmities of age resting lightly upon him. His wife died at their home in Chatham (Province of Ontario, Canada) at the age of 65. She was born in the Mohawk Valley in New York, and was a daughter of Jacob Shaffer, a native of Schoharie County, New York, of German linage. Jacob Shaffer was twice married, his first union being with Miss House, who became the mother of Mrs. Colby. She died in the Empire State (New York), and he married Miss Cypher, of the same state, who died in Canada when well advanced in years. Mr. Shaffer was called to his final rest at the age of 75. Our subject is the eldest of five sons and three daughters: the latter are all now deceased, but the sons are yet living and are all married. It was in Chatham that T. I. Colby led to the marriage alter Miss Barbara McKay, who was born on Prince Edward Island in 1834, and came of an old Scotch family. Her parents were Donald and Huena (McKay) McKay, both natives of Scotland. They were married on Prince Edward Island, and afterwards removed to the Province of Ontario, where as farming people they resided for some time. Later they removed to Ridgeway, Lenawee County, Michigan where they spent their last days, both having reached the age of 80 years when called to their final home. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Colby have lived and labored together, and their efforts have been blessed with prosperity. They have a pleasant home at No. 403 North Third Street, which is the abode of hospitality and a favorite resort with their many friends. They attend the Centennial Methodist Church, of which Mrs. Colby is a member. Their union has been blessed by one son, Charles E., who possesses a great natural artistic talent and is a successful artist. He married Lillian Baldwin, and they have a little daughter, Bessie, who is the joy of their home and the pet of her grandparents. Mr. Colby execises his right of franchise in support of the Republican party, but has never sought political preferment for himself. He is a member of Ellis Lodge No. 104, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons. His residence in Rockford covers a periot of 36 years, during which time he has won a handsome competence and also by his upright life has gained the respect and good will of those with whom he has bee brought in contact.

Sergeant Theophilus Colby of Deerfield, New Hampshire, deposed on 31 March 1818: that he enlisted in December 1776, at Mount Independence (Orwell, Vermont), and served under Captain John Drew, as Sergeant, and served to the close of the war; that he had been blind for about 12 years; and that he had no family. He was granted a pension and in 1819, was living with Thomas Burbank at Deerfield, New Hampshire. He is not listed in any 1790 census return, and it would appear from this that his wife had died and that his children had probably died young, all of which would seem to corroborate his statement that he had at that time no family.

Therresa C. Rasmussen SALINA - Surrounded by her loving family, Therresa Colby Rasmussen, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend passed away Oct. 19, 2006, following an extended illness, in Levan, Utah. Therresa was born in the family home in Salina, June 10, 1913, a daughter of Roy and Elizabeth Crane Colby. She married Maurice Farrell Rasmussen, Nov. 23, 1933 in Richfield, and they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti LDS temple March 1, 1940. Of all Therresa's loves, her family was most dear. Family members have fond memories of holiday decorating and parties, especially Christmas and Halloween. Therresa was a very loving mother and a true grandmother to all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Contents of her toy drawers were shared and often generously given away to admiring little children. Her homemaking and gardening talents adorned the family home and neighborhood. Therresa's deliciously unique dinner roll recipe could not be unsurpassed nor duplicated, even though she willingly taught her techniques to promising cooks. Fun times abounded in the Accord Lake cabin that Maurice and Therresa designed, built and maintained for as long as possible. Service was the hallmark of Therresa's life. As a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she served in many capacities including Sunday school, Relief Society and young women's organizations and supported her husband in his many callings. Therresa was a kind and generous neighbor and friend. Anyone who came to her door was promptly fed or given something, and always invited to come back soon. She never hesitated to care for the hungry and the homeless. A friend described her as “a positive, talented and public-spirited person.” After her family, her next love was music. She took pleasure in every type of music, and she was an accomplished alto saxophonist. As a member of the Bryce's Arcadians dance band, she played for dances all over Utah during the Big Band Era. Therresa directed numerous choirs and singing groups over the years, as they performed for various civic and church groups. She was a self-taught pianist and organist. Therresa is survived by her dear husband, Maurice, Salina; her five children and their spouses, Rodney and Eunice Rasmussen; Janet and Neil Beach, all Salina; Evelyn and Jerold Shields; Kathern and Lyle Taylor, all Salt Lake City; and Brad and Kathy Rasmussen, Hurricane. Her posterity also includes 26 grandchildren; 102 great-grandchildren; and 11 great-great-grandchildren. Surviving siblings include a brother, Darwin and Wona Colby, California; sisters-in-law, Vonda Colby and Virginia R. Dickert, both Salina; Shirley Rasmussen, Boise, Idaho; Shirley Probert, Scipio; Donna and Paul Martin, Las Vegas; and several nieces and nephews complete the family circle. Funeral services were held Oct. 23, in the Salina LDS 2nd ward 87 South 100 East. Interment will be in the Salina Pioneer Cemetery. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Tina with home health care, hospice, and the nurses, nurses aids and doctors in all the hospitals in the community that have helped during the past several years in the care of Therresa, and a special thanks to Kaye, Amberlee and their staff at The Victorian House in Levan.

Residue to wife Agnes Colbie whom I make executrix. Robert Allen supervisor. Wienesses; Robert Allen. Thomas Baxter. Signed by mark. Proved 21 April 1626. In March 1636/7, an assessment was made for expenses of repairing the church at Horbling. Thirty seven names were listed. William Colby, who had a small stock of animals, must have been the older brother. The widow Colby must have been their mother. Robert was mentioned for having been paid for some work. Nowhere is there any mention of Anthony or Matthew after their father's will of 1625. Possibly both of these brothers left for America with the Winthrop Fleet in 1630, but if so, there is no trace of Matthew. His fate will probable remain a mystery. As for Anthony, he is surely the one who went to New England in 1630. All the other know contemporary Anthony Colbys in Old England can be eliminated from consideration for one reason or another."

THOMAS COLBY came from Sandwich, N. H. and settled on the place now owned by M. A. Taft ; think, he married Elizabeth Atwood of Sandwich. He must, I think, have been 45 years of age; he had nine children then, that came with him. He soon made a home for himself and family. In 1800, he had 11 acres of improved land and one cow. In 1802, he had erected a framed house and finished it so it was assessed at $100. — His townsmen recognized his judgement and ability, both in regard to church and state. He represented the town in the legislature and held other offices. — see the officers lists. He was chosen deacon of the church, and perhaps, had more influence in that body than any other member. After some years, he gave his home place to Jonathan, his son, intending retiring from cares; from some cause as often happens when the father gives up the management to his boys, they soon disagreed, so in this case, and the Deacon, so called, built the set of buildings on the place now owned by Mrs. C. W. Willard and moved there with his son, Thomas but misfortune seemed to overtake him, for Thomas soon died. — Josiah Colby, his grandson, married the widow of Thomas and went there to live; but all was not pleasant, and Josiah removed, and Jesse, the Deacon's youngest son living, went home. He remained, but being lame did not prosper much. The offices of trust the Deacon held were always filled to acceptance both of town and church. Spouse: Elizabeth ATWOOD. Dea. Thomas COLBY and Elizabeth ATWOOD were married in AUG 1778 in Hampstead, Rockingham County, New Hampshire.
