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.

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]).

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.
