Notes:

BIRTH: No birth rec found. Samuel is identified in the division of estate of his father, Anthony Colby of Salisbury, 9 Apr 1661 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:408-409 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). Chronology suggests that Samuel was born between his brothers John (b. 1633) and Isaac (b. 1640). Anthony Colby was living in Ipswich, Mass. on 27 Jun 1637 when he sued John Hall of Lynn (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 1:6 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). It is very likely that Samuel was born in Ipswich.

CHR: F. E. Thurley, ed, "Bishops' Transcripts of Horbling Parish Registers, 1561-1640" (transcript, 1917), unpaginated (FHL #436033 item 6). For evidence that this is the same Anthony Colby who came to Mass., see Robert Charles Anderson, THE GREAT MIGRATION BEGINS, 3 vols. (Boston, 1995), 1:416 (FHL #974 W2a). Anderson bases the identification of Anthony Colby on his relationship to Simon Bradstreet, who was also from Horbling. The alleged royal ancestry of Anthony Colby advanced in James W. Colby's, COLBY FAMILY HISTORY, published in 1895, is disproved in Glade Ian Nelson, "Anthony Colby's Purported Ancestry," TAG, 51(1975):65-71 (FHL #973 D25aga).
MAR: No mar rec found. Children of Anthony Colby and his wife Susannah were born at Salisbury, 1640-1650/1 (VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY [Topsfield, MA, 1915], 54-55 [FHL #845110]).

Anthony married Susannah about 1632. Susannah was born about 1608 in England; died on 8 Jul 1689 in Salisbury,Essex,MA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: No mar rec found. A deed from John Stevenson of Boston to Peter Thornton, 20 Aug 1652, describes property as having been granted to [blank] Waterman who died. Anthony Colby married his widow, and they sold the land to James Pennyman, who sold the land to Stevenson (SUFFOLK DEEDS, 14 vols. [Boston, 1880-1906], 11:176-77 [FHL #974.46 R2s]). Hence, Anthony Colby's wife was 1st married to a Waterman, given name unknown.
MAR #2: No mar rec found. Children of Anthony Colby and wife Susannah were born at Salisbury, 1640-1650/1 (VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY [Topsfield, MA, 1915], 54-55 [FHL #845110]).
MAR #3: No mar rec found. Susannah Whittridge petitioned the court on 28 Mar 1682 to sell part of the estate of her former husband, Anthony Colby, for her necessary support (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:409 [FHL #974.45 P2p]). The adm of estate of William Whittridge of Ipswich was granted to his son Thomas Whittridge on 19 Dec 1668. The name of the widow is not mentioned (PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 2:143-45). The estate records of widow Susannah Whittridge, below, mention her Colby children and her "son" Thomas Whittridge. Hence, Susannah married 3rd to William Whittridge.
DEATH: Death date of 8 Jul 1689 "or thereabouts" is from Susannah's inv of estate taken 28 Sep 1691 (Essex Co. Probate, [o.s.] 304:400 [FHL #860486]). Also see the division of estate, 1 Nov 1697 (Ibid, 304:473); and another division, 5 Aug 1700 (Ibid, 307:176-77 [FHL #875125]).

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: No mar rec found. Children of William and Elizabeth Sargent were recorded in Salisbury, Mass., 1643-52 (VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY [Topsfield, MA, 1915], 213-14 [FHL #974.45/S3 V2t]). Elizabeth Sargent is identified in the will of her father, John Perkins of Ipswich, 28 Mar 1654, proved 26 Sep 1654 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:190-91 [FHL #975.45 P2p]).
MAR #2: VITAL RECORDS OF AMESBURY (Topsfield, MA, 1913), 476 (FHL #974.45/A1 V2a). Joanna was the widow of Valentine Rowell who died at Salisbury, 17 May 1662. In 1672 William Sargent and his wife Joanna, "late wife of Valentine Rowell and administratrix of his estate," sued Christopher Osgood for a legacy due to the children of Valentine Rowell (RECORDS AND FILES OF THE QUARTERLY COURTS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 9 vols. [Salem, MA, 1911-75], 5:20 [FHL #974.45 P2e]). Valentine Rowell married Joanna Pinder at Salisbury, 14 Nov 1643 (VITAL RECORDS OF SALISBURY, 472 [FHL #974.45/S3 V2t]).
DEATH: No death rec found. See the will of William Sargent of Amesbury, 24 Mar 1670/1, proved 13 Apr 1675, inv 8 Apr 1675 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 2:438-441).

NOTE: William may have 1st married a sister of Theophilus Shatswell of Haverhill, who mentioned "my brother" William Sargent and "my kinsman" Philip Challis in his will, 20 Jun 1663-13 Oct 1663 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 1:424-25). Philip Challis was the son-in-law of William Sargent. Theophilus Shatswell supposedly married Susannah Bosworth, but this is not proved. If this is true, William Sargent probably married a sister of Theophilus Shatswell, possibly Sybil. Theophilus is one of the children of Judith Shatwell, widow of Sibbertoft, Nhants. All of Judith's children are mentioned in the Chancery suit, Curwin v. Smith, 22 Nov 1627 (Chancery Proceedings, Charles I, cc 15, n. 56, quoted verbatim in David A. Macdonald, "A New Look at the Corwin and Shatswell Families," NEHGR, 150[1996]:185-89 [FHL #974 B2ne]). Of the children listed in the suit, only Sybil is not accounted for among the daughters. The name Sybil, however, does not appear among the children of William Sargent.
