Colby, was a well-known citizen of the town, and was for several years successfully engaged in the building of ships, and in business enterprises connected with owning them. He possessed a comfortable home, held some public offices, and exerted considerable influence both at Bowdoinham and in the neighboring town of Bath, to which his business extended. In 1807 he was married, at Charlestown, Mass., to Miss Sarah Davidson. Her father was Jesse Davidson, who had formerly lived at Nottingham West, N. H., but had afterwards removed to Boston, and then to Charlestown, and had died a few years before the time referred to. She was one of six orphan sisters, and was about sixteen years of age at the time of her marriage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
