Colbert Ancestors

Lemuel Colbert is my Great-Great-Great-Grandfather. He is one of Levi and Mintahoyo's sons. Census records show that Lemuel and his mother were among the first Chickasaws in Indian Territory in 1839. He attended the Chickasaw Nation Constitutional Conventions of 1848 and 1856. My Colbert family ancestors are:
  • James Logan Colbert
  • Major Levi "Itawamba Minco" Colbert
  • Lemuel Colbert (arrived in Indian Territory in 1838 or 1939 along with his mother)
  • Amanda Colbert Reynolds (Born in Indian Territory in 1848)
  • Permelia Reynolds Skinner (Born in Chickasaw Nation in 1880)
  • Mollie Skinner Sears (Born in Chickasaw Nation in 1901)
  • W.L. Sears (Born in Kemp, Oklahoma in 1922)

My son, Brent, is an 8th Generation Chickasaw continuously living in the Chickasaw Nation since 1839.
