I have been searching for more information about Robert COLBERT and Mary Catherine PEER and their family and ancestors. But have come to a dead end.
Robert's parents were born in Ireland.
Robert was born about 1824, and Mary about 1827 both in Virginia.
They had several children:William, Ellen, Robert, John, Emma, Annie, Charles and Ida (twins), Harry, Bell, Grant. Some born in Virginia, some in Pennsylvania. Born between 1849 and 1866.
Ida Colbert married Charles MILLER. They resided in Johnstown, PA.
If any of this sounds familiar, please email me, and we can compare more detailed notes.
Thanks,
Kathe

Hello Paul. I personally do not feel that this list is 'exclusive' to any particular region. Anyone with Colbert's anywhere in the World can post here. Many Colbert's who have contacted me also have Irish Connections (even myself). There are indeed many Irish links mentioned in the archives here.
With regards the the British Colbert's listed here recently I myself have been gathering all of the GRO Index Births since civil registration, that is why they are mentioned on this list, and I feel this information should not be exculuded as this will be of benefit to all of those UK Colbert researchers.
This list is not endemic to any given region people just list what Colbert's they have in any part of the World.

This list seems to deal exclusively with middle Atlantic and British/Wales names. I have Irish Colberts from the Vicinty of Youghal it is believed who came to this country in 1882 and settled in Connecticut. Does anyone else have the Irish connection or should I take my queries elsewhere if it has broken off? Colbert is not an uncommon name in Ireland, and of course it has a rich French connecticut to which there is some centuries old legends about landing in Ireland after felleing of nobles during the French Revolution - probably dreaming - but I seem to be seeining only British Colberts here? I'm relatively new here (been getting messages for about 6 mos. but if this is treated in some back archives, please just direct me, and I'll go away (p/s the 1882 landing was my g grandfather, and except of a coupke of children who may have dies in Ireland as chi9ldren or infants, we have a pretty good grasp of our Colberts in Glastonbury/Middletown/Hartford, CT

Message Board Post:
earlier this year or late last year, Larry Colbert was researching his family line which descends from John Colbert and had queried about them. I found John living in Fayette County PA, I think it was the 1830 or 40 Census. Laree Lee was poking around and found a Land Deed in PW County VA for John
Calvert and his wife Catherine and asked a friend to dig up a copy of the Land Deed which was done. What was found was the John and Catherine Lynn Colbert signed their names "Calvert". Later, Larry submitted his DNA to FT/DNA and it was found that he matches 9 other participants thus far who are descended from Prince William County Calverts of different lines plus Jesse Colbert who married in KY as Calvert but is known as Colbert the rest of his life, lived KY and Champagne Co.
I know you are not that far back but Karen mentioned it so I thought I would post. I believe there are 3 Colberts involved who are following lines which I believe are descended from Calverts of PW Co with 6 or 7 Calvert researchers of descendants who also match DNA.
If you wish to submit, DNA, contact me: daipdq(a)juno.com. This is the Calvert Surname project at FT/DNA (sic: Colbert Calvert COlvert etc..plus Harris and Harrison-ie, Alias Harrisons of John Calvert b 1692).
You can find info on John Colbert both at the Calvert and Melungeon family boards at Genealogoy.com. A disussion group exists to accompany the FT/DNA project at Yahoo Groups --
Calvert_Genealogy. The discussion list is open but to post or load or down load files you need to have a Yahoo id.

Hi All
Reading very old messages and many of you may have changed emails or solved your problems by now. I come from Lemuel Colbert m Phebe Blankenship in 1790 Campbell Co VA, d/o Hudson Blankenship of Winfall, Campbell Co VA who gave consent. By 1792, Lem and Phebe had signed a deed to purshase land in Pittsylvania Co which they sold in 1794. I have not been able to find another record of purchase after that date, but in 1809, Lemuel gave permission for his daughter to marry Robert Walker.
By 1820, Phebe Colbert was listed as head of household with 5 male tithables. I think we can identify some of them as William, Thomas and John. John never married, nor ever showed an occupation in later census. He always seems to be living with his mother, sister or nephews, as time goes by. I assume he had a disability of some nature, or was injured in war of 1812, in which there is one John Colbert from VA, though that could be John of Occaquan (Fairfax Co VA) area.
Meanwhile, through the lines, there are several Lemuels that I am aware of. However, there is another group of Lemuel Colbert's, of Scotch origin, who seem to come as traders among the Choctaw/Chickasaw tribes. There is a county in AL named Colbert Co, as they settled that area, around muscle shoals. Lemuel married into the tribe and became a tribal leader. He and his descendants, along with brothers, William and Thomas, moved with the natives to the "indian territories" but not on the trail of tears. They went first and acquired better land, for what that is worth.
Meanwhile, it seems that John of Occaquan is found moving to near current Pittsburg area, and then some of his descendants into Indiana. Oddly, while we have no connection known, they also have a Lemuel in the family. It's possible that Lemuel Colbert of Campbell/Pittsylvania Co VA is related to the other group, but so far, I've had no success in linking them and some claim they were originally Calverts/Calbert's. Depending on ones accent, it's quite possible. However, when Lemuel purchased his property in Pittsylvania, one deed states "Lemuel Colbert, new comer" and I have no idea what that means.
So, yes, there are a number of Lemuel Colbert, some related to Lem of Pittsylvania and wife, Phebe Colbert, and others, well, someone needs to do a good DNA study.

I'm not sure if I can answer your question, but James,s/o Walter, born 14 Oct 1911 Pittsylvania Co VA d. 5 Dec 1998 Lynchburg VA, buried in Spring Hill Cemetery 14 Oct 1911.
He did have a social security number and you probably can apply for the file which would give you additional informationi, as there isn't much online. But, it's a start. Keep in mind, however, that if you're really looking in Northern VA near MD, there was and probably still is a group of Colbert's who were there in the early 1800's and thier John Colbert (m Catherine Lynn) is often confused with Lemuel Colbert (d.bet 1809-1820 Pittsylvania) son John, who never married and never lived alone, so either was disabled from birth or the war of 1812.

Can't believe I've been missing all these messages. My mother was born and raised in Lynchburg. I was born there, but moved when I was about 3.

Thomas Jackson was my grandmother's brother, and Mary Colbert was my grandfather's cousin.
TRust me, there are lots of Colberts and those from Colbert women still out and about, and many are in Lynchburg, though I'm not.
All of the people who have responded come from Thomas Colbert m Sarah "Sally" Keesee m 1847 Pittsylvania Co VA.

I've just found this message, which I never saw. I hope your email is still valid. I have information for you, including copies of pages (actually transcriptions) of the Bible of Henry Hartwell Colbert. His son died not too long ago, and Anita, his wife, had sent me a copy of the information in a very old Bible. The pages had been torn out, but they were also crumbling, so she wrote them out for me, along with sending me the Bible of Thomas Colbert and 2ne wife, Sarah Keesee Colbert.
Would like to compare info.

Hello Colbert researchers!
I have now completed gathering all the exact surname of Colbert GRO Birth Index for England & Wales from September 1837 - December 1904. I have not had time to update my database as of yet, however if you have a query / look up please by all means email me and I will assist with your query.
I will soon be gathering the same years but for Marriages in England and Wales and then death entries, but this will of course take quite some time.
I will post my findings as I have them
All the very best in your Colbert research
Kindest Regards
Jen L Colbert

Query: re COLBERT
My Colberts from Ireland. John and Elizabeth (Barrett, w twin) COLBERT came
to this country in 1882, most likely from the area around Youghal ( though
there is some evidence that they were from other parishes in Ireland ).
They had 13 (known) children in Glastonbury CT and it is said several in
Ireland that never came to US or died as children/infants in Ireland. A
persistent story is that many generations ago, the family cakme as refugees
from France, during the flight of the nobles during the Revolution.
I cannot completely discount this, but presently see no real connection to
the Colbert, Elisha and sons, James, Hiram, and Drury, assumedly from
Alabama, who migrated to Illinois in the early 1800's. Elisha probably was
born in Mississippi Territory, after 1765. We do know they sold land in the
early 1800's in Georgia before moving to Illinois, specifically Hardin, then
probably Randolph, and later Gallatin and Saline Counties. Elisha's father
may have been a James for there is a land transaction concerning an
inheritance around 1806, prior to the selling of their land and move. There
are Thomas's in our line and also William's, and of course, the possibility
of the H. for Hiram. Whether they came from Virginia initially is a
consideration, but it would have been prior to some of the stones noted
here. I would very much like to share any information that might in any
remote way seem to connect.

Dear Colbert researchers,
I am in the process of collecting all Colbert births (exact name only at the moment) from the GRO in the United Kingdom.
I do not mind if you wish to contact me to look up a name in the references collected already.
So far I have 1837 - 1851 UK Births
This will also be freely available via my Colbert one name study site when finished
