The link you gave below says it is out of service.
I already have the latest and greatest browser programs on the planet.
It's not a browser problem, but it could be stupidity on my part. I looked
all around the site and I did not see anything about any online research or
the word genealogy anywhere.
Could you please confirm the steps you took to get there?
Thanks.

You might have to download an updated viewer for your browser, but there is
on-line materials to view.
Try this address and see if it works:

Good luck.

I don't think so. The link you provided works, but I still don't get any
info on Elisha Colbert and the links that come up are only names of books.
She said the individual record would come up.

I also tried to go to UVA...did find a place to search in special

Is it possible that they are talking about the Library of Virginia...and
not
UVA?

This should get you right to the site where you can just type in a surname
and it will show up what is available. I would use "Calvert" as Colbert did
not bring up anything.

I went to the University of Virginia website and could not find any online
research available.
I went to the University Library page and it brought up a Google page. I
still tried to do a search for "Colbert" and it came up with no data.
Are must an alumni with some secret access? I couldn't find anything.

This is getting interesting....maybe something to this. Tell me...have you
done any of that DNA testing stuff that the Colbert/Calvert group is
suggesting? I have not done it yet and wonder if I should submit my husband as
part of the study. Have any of the research you have done on your group
suggested that they ever were in SC???
I will check out that UV site later today. Thanks so much....lets keep in
touch...we might be on to something here.

Thank you so much for the information. Elisha's father was Alexander D. Colbert and he moved into Lumpkin County, GA just prior to the 1840 Census there. The children that show up on that and later census...and Alexander...state that they were born in SC. I have been unable to find Alexander or link him to other Colberts before that 1840 time frame. His earlier sons were named Powell, Alfred, Robert, Benjamin...by a first wife, and then Elisha, John and Jesse by a second wife. Do any of those names show up in your lineages? I would like more info on the Rev. War person...do you have a file number/pension number for him. I am a DAR member...but on my line...the Colbert is my husband's line. It would be great if there were other Colberts in GA or SC that I could link to Alexander.

In regard to your query about an Elisha Colbert, I thought I should respond to let you know that our Colbert family is from the Wilkes/Madison/Franklin Georgia area, and we have an Elisha, circa 1770's probably, but the family moved on to IL by the early 1800's. There is also an Elisha Colbert/maybe Calvert who was earlier, a Revolutionary War participant, and that information is available through the Univ. of VA records. Do we connect with him or your family? I could not say, but the name seems to have stayed in the Colbert families. I know also that the Colbert's of Stafford have an Elisha that was later than ours, but, to date, I am unable to find a sure connection to them either. I just thought some of this might be helpful.

The Colbert family had tremendous infulence over the Chickasaw Indian Nation. You can discover more information on this family by doing a search " Desendants of James Logan Colbert."
I understand he was a "native of the Carolinas and went into the Chickasaw Nation prior to 1850. Apprently, in a letter dictated to Gov. Harrison of VA, by Colbert on Jul 25, 1783 in AL, at 62 years of age stated he wished to "Serve the Country in which he lives and was born. He died jan 7, 1784 in AL.
There are other stories that he was born in Scotland. Richard Allen Colbert stated that james was born in America colonies approximately 1721 and traved west to Muscle Shoals, AL
