Dear Sally,
My grandfather was James Dogan Colbert, youngest child of Joseph Thomas Colbert and Sarah Ferguson. The family information I have:
In 1819, thirty-nine families came from North Carolina to five miles above what is now Collins,MS. Among those were Thomas Colbert (the father of John Colbert, I think), and Joseph McAfee. In 1820, John Colbert purchased land in Tallahatchie County alone, and also with Morgan McAfee. (The purchase was not recorded until 1840, due to the enormous volume of land claimed in the indian removal). John C. was Tax Assessor/Collector for Covington County in 1822, 1823, 1826, and 1827. He married Margaret McAfee b.1805 in SC, had six children, and died in 1838.
Their Children:
Anna Jane b.1826 m. Huling Houston Parker
*Joseph Thomas b.1827 m.Sarah J. Ferguson
Mary M. b.1829 m.Jonas Kendrick
Amanda M. b.1831 m.(?)Coperton
Elizabeth M. b.1836 m.David Womack
Minerva J. b.1838 m.Jim Dogan
Children of Joseph T. and Sarah Ferguson:
John Thomas b.1869
Joseph b.1871
William b.1874
Morgan b.1877
*James Dogan b.1881
Cousin Josephine Colbert had done extensive family research, but I don't know who it passed on to after her death. I would love to know! I'm trying to trace back from John Colbert and Margaret McAfee. Can you help? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks Cuz.
Jennifer

I am trying to find information concerning Martha Colbert, born about 1840. She is listed in the 1870 GA Census in Baconton, Mitchell Co., along with Ellic Colbert and 2 children: Sanders (b. abt 1867-68) and Nathan (b. abt. 1870). She states her birth state as Alabama.
Please let me know if there is any connection.
Thanks!

Mary Kaye -
I know there were several Colbert lines in early Philadelphia. I am
interested in a Thomas C. Colbert, b. btwn 1830 - 1845. I know his wife
only as Sarah Ann. Their son (there may be others) was Thomas J., b. 11 Nov
1866 in Philadelphia, d. 23 March 1947 in Flint, Michigan.
Sound like there may be any connection to your William Colbert from
Philadelphia?
