His parents came from New York to Illinois in 1834; lived there five years, and returned to their old home, where his father died March 21, 1841, the mother living until September 15, 1883.

After the death of his father, Hylon Colby and his mother kept the family together, he working at the carpenter trade, and his mother at the spinning wheel.

One wonders if the little box in the semblance of a book is by Ichabod Colby. We are told in the Carroll County History that he was an ingenious man, who made a "rattle box" for his grandson, the Rev. Alonzo Stillings, more than a hundred years ago. The book whittled out of white pine has a sliding top that fits in so snugly you have to look sharply to see where it meets the borders it slides between. It is cut out of a single piece of white pine, first growth or pumpkin pine. It is just short of seven inches long, just a mite more than three inches wide, and just two inches high. It was probably used as a treasure box of some sort, for paper money, or old letters, or the like. It has no signs of wear and tear on its interior, though its exterior is browned through handling and the years. There are five raised lines across its back after the fashion of the lines of gold across the backs of books of the eighteen-thirties.

It is covered top and bottom by the familiar wave motive carving, the "waves" being without curves and meeting at angles slightly sharper than right angles. One line of such carving of waves a half inch high runs around the top of the box on one end and on both sides. Two lines of very low waves run down the center of this sliding top. They are bordered each side by two lines of higher waves, making six lines of waves lengthways on the sliding top. There are two lines of waves crossways the sliding top at its inner end, and three lines across its outer end. There are in all, then, eight lines of waves the long way of the top, and six lines the short way.

On the bottom of the box the lines of the waves longway the box are seven, and those shortway six. It is only by chance they total at thirteen? The decoration is of a sort coming down from the most primitive times. You find it in Swedish chests reaching back to Viking times. You find it in early English decoration. It may be it is of so natural a sort that it would occur anywhere in the world, but one cannot help wondering was it not handed down here in New England from Mayflower days? The little box was found just over the Maine border in that countryside of large houses and old time prosperity between Newfield and Parsonsfield, not many miles from Ossipee Corners where Ichabod Colby settled early in the last century. I do not, of course, claim it as of his whittling, but I like to think it may be his. The man from whom it was bought said it had been in his family all his life. It is a primitive, no doubt of that, and of so simple a design it might appeal alike to a Mohammedan rugmaker of Samarkand and to a Shaker of Canterbury. Like other primitives it takes us round the world and back again to the York County attic where it was found.

He was buried in the Lakeview Cemetery at Wolfeboro, Carroll County, New Hampshire
On 10 September 1832, Ichabod Colby of Ossipee, New Hampshire, aged 71 years deposed: that he had enlisted aged 18 years, 1 November 1777, at Amesbury, Massachusetts, under Captain Oliver Titcomb, in Colonel Jacob Gerrish's regiment (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolutionary War gives this term of duty as January 1777 to 10 March 1777; 3 February 1778 to 2 April 1778); but as Ichabod Colby put it in his own language: "for as long a time as Burgoyne's troops remain our prisoners", and he was stationed as a guard at Winter Hill until April 1778, when he was discharged, that on 1 July 1778, he enlisted again in the same guard, and served under Captain Samuel Huse until the troops left Winter Hill and marched to Connecticut. (2 July 1778 to 14 December 1778) He left them there and returned to Winter Hill, and served until October 1778: that he enlisted from Candia, New Hampshire, 1 July 1780, under Captain Whittier, and marched to West Point, New York, where he served one year, that he was born in 1760, and since then has lived in East Kingston, Candia, Brentwood, Exeter, and Ossipee, where he now Lives.

On 9 June 1843, Ruth Colby, of Wolfeborough, New Hampshire, aged 81 years, deposed, that she was the widow of Ichabod Colby, a Revolutionary pensioner, who died 5 July 1840, and that she married him 2 December 1783 (Essex VR gives 25 Feb 1783). And on 8 January 1844, Moses Rowell of Loudon, New Hampshire, aged 79 years, testified that he was present "at the wedding of his (Colby's) wife." They appear to have had two sons and two daughters, concerning whom we know only one of the sons.
