- (Research):Possible Clues:
Domine Colony enlisted in the Rev. War in 1778-1779 at the Mohawk River.
Was with Hazen's regiment of Continental Troops.
George Coloney, married to Mary Hetherington, daughter of Joseph Hetherington.
George Coloney and wife were living in the town of Florida, Montgomery
County, New York on 31 Oct 1826 . Mary was deed land by her father, Joseph,
who died in 1820. The land was located in Schenectady, New York which she
sold in 1826, hence George and Mary Colony location noted. Mary was
born in 1803, meaning George would have been born 1795-1805 era. Probably
a brother to Henry, or possibly a son.

1675. Job-3 [1617] (Job-2, Job-1) is styled on the town records "Lieut." and "Job Runnels Jun." till after the death of his father; was m. to Sarah Ellison, of Lee, by Rev. Samuel Hutchins, June 2, 1772. She was b. Apr. 3, 1751. Is reported as a "private in Smith Emerson's Co., at Seavey's Island, Nov 5, 1775" in the New Hampshire military records. "Mar. 28, 1770, Job Runnels, Jr. and Sarah his wife," deeded to Samuel Hill "a hundred acre lot in township of Canterbury;" and "May 4, 1780," they deeded away their title "to the estate of Thomas Ellison, her father in Barrington." He was selectman in Lee, 1781, and again in 1787 and 1790. Said to be residing in the "Mast Way district," 1807-1815. For locality, see [1606] and [1615]. This "Mast road," "way," or "path," formed so frequently upon old records pertaining to Lee, was the original road opened from Lee Hill to tide-water at Durham Falls, over which "His Majesty's pines for royal navy" were drawn in the winter; This brother's part of the ancestral estate did not probably go out of the family til after his death, Aug. 27, 1831, in his 83d year.

1615. Job-2 [1607] (Job-1) inherited his father's home estate as appears above, and is otherwise known to have occupied parts, at least, of the farms now owned in Lee, NH (1870) by Thomas Chesley and the widow of the late Hon. Jeremiah Smith. He afterwards divided his land between his two sons, Job and Miles, giving to the latter what is now occupied by Mr. Smith, south of the road, as appears below. Quite early on the town records of Durham, we find him chosen one of the five "Searvars of High Way"; and again "surveyor, 1762-3"; fence viewer, 1758;" "tithing man, 1764." No later, on Durham records, than 1765, the Lee Parish being incorporated as a town, Jan. 16, 1766; after which on the Lee records we have "Lef. Job Runnals, Sessor" 1768 and 1769. His wife's name was Sarah; as "Apr. 29, 1771," "Job and Sarah R. of Lee," -- his son Job not yet being married to Sarah Ellison,--deeded thirty-four acres of land to Jeremiah Burnam of Durham; also "July 4, 1774," "to Simeon Taylor for 15 pounds, one half of a hundred acre lot,"--probably in Canterbury--"of which Job Runels deceased was the original grantee." "July 5, 1781," "Job Runals of Lee," to "John Colony of New Durham," "All right to one hundred acres, in N.D." He probably died Apr. or May 1785, aged 71, certainly between the two dates next given, for among the deeds we find that "Job Runals of Lee," -- then living,--conveyed "to Job R. Jun. certain tracts of tillage land on the Mast road, and one half his pasture," "Mar. 26, 1785;" and, same date, "to his son Miles, a tract of land called the upper field," -- on the present Smith farm, as above, -- "and half the pasture;" while, also, from the Strafford Probate records we learn that "Sarah Runels widow of the late Job Runels" relinquished "all rights to his estate to her two sons Job and Miles," "June 8, 1785," to whom the administration of his estate was granted at the same time. His widow m. John Hill, of Nottingham for her second husband. Proof of this appears a few years later (1790, or 1793), when J. Hill conveys to Job Runnels "his right to dower of his wife Sarah, who was mother of the said Job and former wife of Job Runels late of Lee;" whose children, there born, were:
1616. Susan [1665], b. 1746
*1617. Job [1675] b. Jan 12, 1749
1618. Abigail [1686] b. 1753
1619. Miles [1695[ b. Oct. 29, 1761
page 120-121
1606. Job-1 is first mentioned in the Rockingham Deeds, "Nov. 13, 1713," when he is said to be "of Dover," and had conveyed to him from "Joseph Davice, for 28 pounds, 3 score acres of land lying on the West side of Wensday's brook."
This is probably the time of his settlings, as a young man, in the then "Oyster river Parish" of Dover, afterwards Durham, now Lee, N.H. His residence was on the now beautiful slope of land near the above-mentioned brook, a little south of the "mast road," and between that and the present house of Thomas Chesley, where a solitary barn was standing in 1870.
About the same time (1713) he m. his wife "Hannah," who is said to have joined the church of Durham, under the Rev. Hugh Adams, "May 5, 1723" (see Hist. and Gen. Register, July 1869).
She was living as late as "June 28, 1731," as under that date we have "Jobe Runels and Hannah," deeding "to John Bradford of Portsmouth, one third share of land in Rochester." She was also, more probably, the "Hannah Runnels," of Durham, mentioned "Feb. 3, 1748-9" as deeding "to Joseph Smith, all her right to the estate of her grandfather, Robert Burnham"; and if so, her maiden name may have been Hannah Burnham.
"May 29, 1719," his original sixty acres seems to have been increased by "30 acres more or less, in Oyster river, in ye township of Dover, in ye Province of New Hampshire," bought of "Naphalie Kincaid"; and "Jan. 31, 1726-7," by "a parcel of land scituate lying and being on ye south side of ye Mast path, against turtel pond, being the half of 60 acres," etc.
On the earliest town records of Durham, soon after its incorporation, "Mar. 18, 1733-4," we find a "Committee of freeholders" tranting "to him his heirs and assigns forever, 25 acres of land"' another (?) "Committee of fifteen" is mentioned, "which was then chosen to divide the common and undivided lands as the major part of them shall grant." "The names of the Committee are as followeth, Job Runals" heading the list. He was also the owner of landed property in other towns, as "Nov 13, 1753" he deeded to Samuel Moore, of Canterbury, for 55 pounds, one home lot in the town of C., where we elsewhere learn he possessed an "original right."
He was living "Dec. 2, 1758" as he then conveyed to "Job Runels Jun., husbandban, my son," "100 acres of land, being all my homestead estate, whereon I now dwell." "Job Runalls Jun." is also mentioned in deeds of "July 6, 1754," and "Mar. 21, 1755"' but "Oct. 22, 1762," "Job Runnels of Durham" bought of "Waldo Emerson of Wells, Me. for 60 pounds lawful money of the Massachusetts Bay, a tract of land in Nottingham," and four days later, "Oct. 26," "Job Runels sold the same "to Aaron Hays, for 66 pounds." The nature of these two last transactions might lead us to ascribe them to the younger Job, in which case his father must have died befoer Oct. 22, 1762, so that the "Jun." had disappeared from his (the son's) name. If, however, they are ascribed to Job Runels, Sen., he was evidently still alive and active in Oct. 1762, but must have d. between that time and "May 1, 1763," when "Jonathan Runels, yeoman of Durham" deeded "to Joseph Sias for 100 pounds 5 acres of land, being Lott No. 25, which was proportioned unto my father, Job Runels, late of Durham deceased, in that division called the North River Lotts." The probably year of his birth was 1685, in Nova Scotia (?) [see Introductions to Parts I and II); and his corresponding age at death would be from 74 to 77, according to the times assumed above. No probably allusions to this ancestor are found, except the inventory of his estate, taken "Apr. 25, 1765."
His children by his wife Hannah, were born in Durham; and as nearly as can now be ascertained, in the years and order here assigned to their names:
*1607. Job [1615] b. 1714
1608. Abigail (Nabby) [1620] b. 1717
1609. Susan [1627] b. 1719
1610. Enoch [1636] b. 1721
1611. Mary [1639] b. May 15, 1724
1612. Jonathan [1646] b. 1726
1613. Hannah [1657] b. June 4, 1728
1614. Samuel [1661] b. 1730.

on page 199 of this same Reynold's family genealogy, it goes on to state that Job-1 Runals MAY have been the BROTHER of Samuel Runnels of Bradford MA. That Samuel Runels of Bradford had a son born in 1712 and named him Job (possibly to honor his uncle?). I'm a descendant of this Samuel Runnels.
