Notes

  • I have not yet connected John Thomas Colbert clearly to the line of Levi Colbert and his granddaughter Frances (Fannie) Colbert, who married Daniel David Green in Indian Territory.  John T Colbert was reported in a Powell Family genealogy as the maternal grandfather of Frances (Fannie) Colbert, who was born in Indian Territory.

    Fannie's mother was named as Mamie Colbert and it is reported she married Fannie's father David Colbert, son of Major Levi Colbert and Dollie Temusharhoctay.  Birth dates given for Mamie and both her parents in the Powell genealogy of the Colberts were LATER than the birth date of Fannie.  John T is contemporaneous with Fannie's children.

    John Thomas married Maie Pierce in Dyer County, Tennessee, in 1889.
