Hello my name is Ann Pearson. By any chance would you know if Laney Colbert and Lydia Colbert were sisters. Laneys father was also named Major James Colbert. Was Lydia's mother named Dinah Gunn?

I am researching Robert J. Colbert/Calbert (about 1824-1884) and (Mary) Catherine (Peer) Colbert (about 1827-1904) who moved to Johnstown, Pa about 1860. I show a marriage record in Shenandoah Co Va. for Robert Colbert and Catherine Peer November 19, 1846. I have hit a brick wall prior to that date. I cannot find any existence of Robert prior to that time in Virginia, nothing about parents or siblings. Can anyone tell me if any Colberts/Calberts lived in Shenandoah County or any neighboring counties around that time? The next mention of Robert J. Colbert is in the 1860 census for Johnstown, Pa. Does anyone have any information on him prior to 1846 or between 1846 and 1860?
Also, Catherine's father was listed as Philip Peer, but there were two Philip Peers in Shenandoah Co. at that time. One was the son of John Peer and the other was the son of Mathias Peer. I have noticed a number of family trees as having one Philip or the other as Catherine's father. Does anyone have definitive proof of which Philip was her father?

I don't see any connection with your lineage chart of Mass. Mannings. I think mine might be earlier and perhaps in the South. Marina may be a second wife to a Luster/Lister/Lester in my Colbert family.

Hi:
Re the manning family. My g-grandmother was Helen Alyosa Manning Murphy Dufort (phew). The mannings are (often) from the Aran Islands...in fact there is a pseudo-documentary from the 30s (pseudo cause the scenes were sometimes staged) that features mannings, flahertys, dillanes, etc., all of them intertwined on the Island and then in America.
I'm attaching (hope it works) a link to a site I found that traces the Mannings back to the early 1800s - George manning. The list includes my g-grandmother and my grandmother.
Let me know if anything 'pings' with your families.
