COLBURN, SALLY, born June 15, 1789, in Sterling, Mass., married there to Daniel Woodworth. They came some years after the first of the family arrived. They lived many years in Springfield, and both died in Sangamon county. Their daughter--

LOUISA H., married Gershom Dorrance. See his name.

SARAH, has been twice married, and lives in California.

An account is preserved of a ludicrous incident that transpired while Mr. Woodworth lived in Springfield. A rain storm came on suddenly and caught him away from home. He started on a run, with his head down, hat drawn over his eyes, and body bent forward. It so happened that Governor Ford found himself away from home in the same shower. Throwing himself in a similar attitude, he started on a run also; but there was this difference, they were running in opposite directions, and when both were at full speed, they came together with a square butt, like a couple of sheep. Each, on the spur of the moment, thought it was intentional on the part of the other, and each assumed a belligerent attitude, but before a blow was struck, both discovered that it was an accident, and with a hearty laugh, hurried on.
