[The Genealogy of the Descendants of Edward Colburn/Coburn by Geo. A. Gordon and Silas R. Coburn, Lowell, MA, 1913, p60, is in error; Benjamin Colburn (1747-1779) is not the Benjamin Coburn born at Dudley, MA, September 25th 1749 as stated. Although his stated death date is correct, as is his stated wife's name, marriage date, place and their children's names and dates. He also, therefore, was not the son of Benjamin.]
