Some research notes on Reverend Isaac David Colburn who was born in 1831 at Hudson N.H. At age 16, he was converted and baptized into the Baptist church. He was active in church life and soon the church voted him a license to preach. He began his studies at New Hampton N.H. In 1855, he entered Brown University. He determined to give his life to missions and entered Newton Theological Institution in the class of 1863. After graduation he married Mary, a teacher at the seminary at Townsend Vt.
