Lynda, I just started looking at this line for a friend. She is a descendant of Henry Colbaugh (c1805-1868 died Meigs co?) and Henry's wife Mary/Polly (maiden?). I recently found the WPA project papers in OK where they interviewed the granddaughter of Henry and Mary:
Report made on: October 20, 1937
Name: Kate COLBAUGH
Address: Hominy, OK
Date of Birth: 1891
Place of birth: near Blackburn
Name of Father: Henry Franklin COLBAUGH born Tennessee
Name of Mother: Mary MILLER born Tennessee
An Interview with Kate COLBAUGH, Hominy, Oklahoma
"Henry F. COLBAUGH was born in Tennessee, January 16, 1854. He was one quarter Cherokee and immigrated to the Indian Territory some time in the 1870s"
I'm wondering if anyone has the maiden name of Henry Srs wife Mary. I found her entered on findagrave in Meigs co with the dates 8 Mar 1819- 19 June 1893. Apparently her husband Henry died in Meigs co 1868. Also, does anyone know how Henry Jr was one quarter Cherokee or if this can be proved? The friend I'm helping is a descendant of Tennessee Colbaugh, born c1849, dau of Henry & Mary/Polly.
