Fred Colbert, Bolivar Co, MS
by Frank and Cindy Stroupe
Hi all,
Seeking information on my maternal grandmother's family. She knew little to
nothing about her family as her parents died when she was three years old.
Her maiden name was Edna Alice Colbert, born 10-12-05 in Bolivar Co, MS.
When she passed away, we found a "Delayed Certificate of Birth", the
affidavit being given by her half-brother, who had raised her, he being 16
years older than her. Her father's name was Fred Colbert, and he supposedly
was also b. Bolivar Co, MS. Mother's name was Annie Elizabeth Pitts, b.
French Camp, MS.
In the past, I have looked at at least one census of Bolivar co, prob 1880,
and found no Colberts listed.
Anyone have any info?
