5013: John Colby

John Colby of England was said to have been shipwrecked at Bosta; he apparently walked to Tobson where he was given hospitality by his future wife’s family. John and his wife Catherine Macleod moved to Gravesend in England and had approximately four children. Those four children later moved back to Lewis. See notes on Edward and Norman (Some doubt about Edward/ Norman being same person-see their entries).
