1843: George Colony, 1 mare Charles Colony, 1 horse, 2 cows, millwright Henry Colony, Jr., 10 acres of which 6 improved & 90 acres 2 of which unimproved, 1 house
They appeared in other years but I only had about an hour and wasdoing research on my family but copied these for you. I can only assume thata Henry Colony settled in Wells and had sons Henry Jr., Charles, andGeorge (perhaps born somewhere between 1810 and 1820). (End email of J. Kelsey Jones)

Not too long after this John Colony and wife Elinor moved to PawneeCo.,Nebraska
In helping the family settle in Knox County, Ohio, it appears thatmanyof the New York and Pennsylvania Colony families helped in the move. Some ofthefamilies found Ohio to there liking, and stayed. It appears that others madethetrek back to New York and Pennsylvania, and yet others headed further west, toIowaand Nebraska.
