Stephanie,
Robert Lee Colbert born 1863 and died in 1938 in Desoto Parish, and I expect him to be buried with his siblings in Colbert Cemetery. Robert Colbert was my great grandfather who was white. My grandfather Sam Bruce Colbert was Mulatto, so he is not buried there, but buried in the Old Morning Glory Cemetery in Mansfield. I was not able to find his grave, but this is what I was told. Robert is buried with the Goodson's of which his sister married in to the family. Roberts father, Andrew Jackson Colbert born 1816-1882 may also be buried there!
Teresa

Priscilla,
If your ancestors are not on the "Chickasaws by Blood" final rolls you will not be able to obtain a CDIB (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood). The rolls for freedmen do not show lineal descendancy from a member of the tribe, but former slaves of tribal members who shared in the division of Tribal lands. I know that many of the freedmen were and are Indian by virtue of birth but it was not recognized by the people that did the rolls. There was an act of the United States, that threatened the tribes with dire consequences if they did not accept their freedmen as tribal members and all of them did except the Chickasaws and maybe the Choctaws. Freedmen in the Creek, Cherokee and Seminole tribes have all the rights of blood members because they were included after the tribes acquiesced and accepted them as members. They vote in tribal elections and receive the same benefits as any other tribal member and there are those that were enrolled on the "by Blood" rolls because !
their Indian ancestor acknowledged them as their children, but in most cases they did not.
I am not trying to discourage you I just know the laws and regulations that dictate who is eligible to receive that little piece of plastic that we are forced to carry that proves we are American Indians. My mother was one of six commissioners that wrote our 1983 Constitution and her gg-grandfather was president of the convention that wrote our 1856 Constitution and I served as a Legislator in our government for 15 years, was Director of Cultural Resources for 2 1/2 years and Historic Preservation Officer for 2 1/2 years. For the past 10 years I have worked as an independent contractor for the Governor doing historic preservation/history for the Nation.
As far as the Creek Nation is concerned they have different laws that govern them so you might be better off pursuing your options through those lines and I wish you the best in your efforts. And remember too, even if you don't possess a CDIB, which I call my buffalo card because of the Department of Interior seal that is on them, YOU KNOW that you are Indian and can be proud of that fact just as much as those of us that are forced to carry that plastic that states what we've always known!
Best of luck!

I am a descendant of Jessie (Jemina) Mimey Moniac who married General William Colbert. After her husband died she left with her son and made the trip to Indian Territory in 1837 with her son James Logan Colbert (b. 1790 and named after his grandfather of the same name). I have found both Mimey and her son on the Dawes List (Case # and Roll # Chickasaw Freedmen). I am close to applying for membership into CDIB. I have four death certificates to obtain. The one from Tennessee and the one from Alabama will be easy to obtain but the ones from Mississippi and Oklahoma will be more difficult. With these I have proved lineage.
My great great grandmother was Mary Lucinda Allen who married John Yocom. Her parents were John Allen and Margaret Colbert, whose parents were General William Colbert and Jemina Moniac, whose parents were William Dixon Moniac and Sehoy III McGillivray. My lineage is through the Yocom line (my mother was a Yocom). Any information that might help me with this paperwork would be immensely appreciated. As you can see I have Chickasaw on the Colbert side and Creek on the Sehoy side of the families.

The Colberts of the Chickasaw Nation are from Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama prior to removal to Indian Territory. I am the gggg-grandaughter of Levi "Itti Ambanili" Colbert or Itawamba as written by the English speaking peoples of the area.

Just read your post, if you had a direct antecedent on the Dawes' Final Rolls of Chickasaw By Blood, you can apply for citizenship in the Nation. The rolls ran from 1897-1906 and your relative would had to have lived in Indian Territory at that time and enrolled with the commission.
My great-grandmother, great-grandfather, grandfather and a multitude of others are on these rolls. If you have someone on the roll you then have to have proof of lineal descent from that person, that is proof that would stand up in a court that proves that the enrollee is your direct ancestor.
James Logan Colbert's birth place is not truly known at this point in time and we may never figure out the exact truth, but according to him he was from the "Carolinas" in a statement that he made about himself. Levi was my gggg-grandfather, he and Minta Hoya had a son Robert who married "Mollie Toka", whose child was Elzira, who married (2nd) Jackson Kemp, whose child was Sally, who married Henry Grinslade, whose child was Albert Milton, who married Lilly Irene Blacknell Klosterman, whose child was Sally Chloe and was my mother.
It's not hard to get a CDIB if you meet the criteria but impossible if you don't. It is written as some would say in stone, it is in the Constitution of the Chickasaw Nation ratified by a vote of the people in August 1983. You can find it on the Tribes web site chickasaw.net.

These burials in this Colbert Cemetery are the descendants of Andrew Jackson Colbert who settled in Grisland, Beinville Parish. The family descends from William Colbert, b. 1772 who wed Margaret Williams, and lived in GA, then near Montgomery, AL, and finally settled in Noxubee Co., MS, Some family went also to MS, settled Macon, MS; other sons stayed in AL, two went to LA. Family is well documented by a descendant, Katherine Chinn Colbert. Check DAR records and elsewhere.

William Colbert of our family who was in AL was not with the Trail of Tears group. James Logan Colbert is clothed in myth and not all that is out there is likely true. There was a Philip Colbert during the Colonial period, thought to be a cousin of the Maryland Calvert's perhaps. We are using DNA to sort these out some. Jefferson did have a house slave named Colberta. I seem to recall the name was Burwell. There isn;t much about him, but Colbert's had to be therefore in that area of VA, probably both races.
