If "The History of the Colby Family" by James Waldo Colby is accurate, Thomas Colby born in 1706 married Mary Wells. The Thomas born in '08 married Sarah Pressey. According to this source, '06 Thomas was the son of Thomas (1667) and Mary Rowell. Thomas '67 was the son of John and Frances Hoyt. John was the son of Anthony. If all that is accurate, there is work to be done and this merge has mixed up the two Thomases.

OK, Thomas, I think that this Thomas (1706) is the son of Thomas and Mary, grandson of John and Frances, ggrandson of Anthony. The Thomas born 1708 was son of Thomas, grandson of Thomas, ggrandson of Anthony. I think. I'm going mostly on Daniel Webster Hoyt's book: The old families of Salisbury and Amesbury, Massachusetts ; with some related families of Newbury, Haverhill, Ipswich and Hampton by Hoyt, David Webster, 1833-1921 see at Hoyt. Let me know if you disagree, or if you have other information.

Colby-1552 and Colby-127 appear to represent the same person because: Same person married two people, so both wives are correct. Same parents, birth, location.
posted by Robin Anderson
Based on "The History of the Colby Family," the correct lineage for this Thomas Colby should be Anthony (Colby-38), Thomas (Colby-128), Thomas (Colby 130). Unless my source is wrong, the Thomas Colby who married Sarah Pressey was born on 16 Jul 1708. I started a profile for a Thomas born in 1708 which is not accurate for my tree.
