Rick,
I have read your articles and would like to know more. I am researching a family of Colbert's who were from the Elbert Co., earlier earlier Wilkes, then Franklin Co., GA area, and wonder what you might know about those families who lived there in the late 1700's. I am particularly interested in an Elisha paid taxes in Franklin Co., 1798-1802, and a Susannah, still there up to 1830, and an earlier James, who apparently died in 1783, but had quite a bit of land there in the Broad River area. I believe this family came earlier out of NC, probably still earlier VA. I would really appreciate corresponding. Thanks so much
Sandy

Hi Rick,
My name is Karen McCaa, and I currently live in Murfreesboro TN. I have been researching my Chickasaw heritage for about a year now. My line is through my dad. Here's a brief list of grandparents back to James Logan Colbert:
Karen Wells McCaa-James Edward Wells Jr- Ida Mae Griffin Wilson- Ida Mae Griffin Ford- Sarah Elizabeth (Sallie)Colbert (married Robert LaSalle Ford) - James M Colbert & Mary E Atkinson- James & Suzannah or Susannah Colbert - James Logan Colbert.
When Sarah Colberts mother died during childbirth of the twins Emma & Emily in 1860, we lose track of Sarah, although she shows up later on census records. I think Sarah went to live with the Atkinsons (her maternal grandparents) Any information you have would be fantastic. I wouldn't mind driving to Birmingham to compare notes. We're only about 2 1/2 hours apart.
Thanks so much!!

Kim: Did you find information or were you able to attend a reunion in March. I'd love to attend any Colbert event, although circumstances would've prevented me from attending. PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you hear of any event such as this type of reunion. THANKS!! P>S> I'll let you know if I hear of anything. I know of a Heritage Gathering in OK in June if you're interested, send me your email address and I'll send you the info I have on it.
