    Notes 
    • 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]).
      DEATH: Ibid, 541. Also see the estate records of Anthony Colby of Salisbury, 1661 (THE PROBATE RECORDS OF ESSEX COUNTY, 3 vols. [Salem, MA, 1916-20], 1:407-410 [FHL #974.45 P2p]).
