PHILBROOK COLBY.

"This name appears with much frequency upon the Haverhill rolls about 1750-60. He was a young blacksmith; enlisted for a short term, and was honorably discharged; enlisted again, and at Fort Edward, near the Hudson river, deserted. We trust he had good reasons for thus putting himself on record. The next season he went again for two years; and was at Crown Point and Ticonderoga. After the war he settled in Weare."

"Philbrick Colby, of Haverhill, is among the list at Weare, NH who served in the Revolution."
