I have info on Martin Edgar Colbert(Feb 4 1861-March 3 1937). Born in
Colubus City, Louisa Iowa, died in Iowa, buried at Mt. Pleasant Henry IA.
Married Jennie hamner. Know nothing on her.
Our Robert Colbert II was born in Ireland in 1868. I don't see how there
could be a connection, unless they are distant cousins. the information about
his wife Sarah Parker is that she was from Scotland. According to what
grandmother said, the above came from either Waterford or Cork Ireland. I've checked
on those census and find there is an equal amount of Colberts in both
counties and a few elsewhere.
The couples son Robert Colbert III was born in Montreal Que, 1893 and
another son William in 1898. Sometime later they emigrated into Potsdam, NY and
Robert ended up in Dubuque Iowa after WWI. After that we have no information on
him personally. It seems as if he'd abandoned the family, a wife with 5
children in the early 1930's. As you can see there is no connection on this side
of the ocean, perhaps there is a link in Ireland.

I have info on Martin Edgar Colbert(Feb 4 1861-March 3 1937). Born in Colubus City, Louisa Iowa, died in Iowa, buried at Mt. Pleasant Henry IA. Married Jennie hamner. Know nothing on her. Martins parents are John S. Colbert(b. 1836) and Lydia Dix(b. 1838 OH). I dont have much info on John or Lydia, and I would like to figure out Colbert Lineage, as I get my name from them. They both either come from Ohio or VA. Anything past John and Lydia would be great. John and Lydia are buried in What Cheer IA Humes Cemetery. Martin had Fred Edward, Eugene, Daisy, LLoyd, Cora, William Leroy, Edward, Maude, Marguerite possibly others.
