From Kerry Armstrong Site: She married Thomas Love. Thomas was born in VA, before 1782. Thomas was t he son of William 'English Bill' Love. Thomas died 1832 in Holly Spring s, Marshall Co., MS, at 50 years of age. Note: this would have to be incor rect in that he ahd children born ca. 1785 and his wife Sally was born c a. 1750. JCT 1/28/01 He was listed as a resident in the census report in C hickasaw Census, 1818. Thomas's occupation: Trader in Chickasaw Nation, be fore 1832. "Thomas Love was very probably a white man and a refugee Loyalist. The Ind ian nations were often asylums for refugee Loyalist, or Tories, in the ear ly days. He died in Mississippi." Don Martini in his book, "Southeastern Indian Notebook", says that he fath ered 13 children by two wives. One supposedly a daughter of trader James L ogan Colbert and the other a full blood Chickasaw named Emahota. Other sou rces indicate that he had only one wife Sally Emahota Colbert, the olde st child of James Logan Colbert. One source exception is contained in an article about Robert H. Love, o ne of Thomas' sons. This article was published in 1909, in "A History of t he State of Oklahoma", by Luther B. Hill. (Vol. II, p. 155). Hill states t hat Robert's father had two wives, one a full blood Chickasaw named "Mahot a". But, Hill states, this was his second wife and the mother of Robert a nd his brothers and sisters. Hill also states that Mahota had been marri ed before. However, Hill's other facts do not seem to mesh with other sour ces. He gives Robert's father's name as "Henry" and not "Thomas". (I suppo se he could be "Henry Thomas Love" or "Thomas Henry Love".) Hill further s tates that Robert H. Love married first, Sallie Love, an adopted daught er of his brother, (he does not give the brother's name). That Robert h ad three children by this marriage. That Robert then married Phebe Waterm an in 1862, (two years after she arrived in Indian Territory in 1860), a nd had a daughter named Maybelle Love. Hill further states that "Henry" w as an Irishman who migrated with his Chickasaw wife from Mississippi to In dian Territory when the tribe removed in "1832". He states in another pla ce that Robert was "13" when his family removed. Marie King Garland, noted Love Family historian, is also in agreement th at Thomas Love had two wives. The first being Sally Colbert and the seco nd being Emahota. According to a statement made by Robert Howard Love in 1882, Thomas Lov e, his father died in 1832 in Mississippi.

The best evidence of General William Colbert's death is found in some o ld Chickasaw Agency records. One is a receipt from Ish-ta-na-ha to Benjam in F. Smith, Chickasaw Agent, for the pension of General Colbert. The rece ipt is dated 15 JUL 1824, for $40 in full for, "... the amount settl ed on my husband Genl. Wm. Colbert by the Govt. of the U. S. up to 30th M ay 1834 at which time he deceased." Additionally, in Smith's Chickasaw Agency expenditure accounting on 27 S EP 1824, he list a payment to, "... Ish-ta-na-ha Colbert for the Pensi on of Genl. Wm. Colbert...." And again in his accounts accepted by U.S. au ditor Wm. Stuart on 4 DEC 1824, Smith states that $40 was paid, "to the wi fe of Gen. Wm. Colbert in full to 30 MAY 1824." His body was interred 18 27 in Pontotoc Cty Cem, Pontotoc, Pontotoc Co., MS. This date of death a nd burial comes from a gravestone located in the Pontotoc Cemetery, plac ed there at a much later date and hencethe date is very suspect. He married twice. He married Jessie 'Mimey' Moniac in Chickasaw Nation, be fore 1780. Jessie was the daughter of John (Jacob?) Moniac and Tuckabatch e. Jessie was baptized at in Monroe Mission, Pontotoc Co., MS, 6 JAN 182 8. He married Ish-ta-na-ha in Chickasaw Nation, before 1824. Conflicting evidence states that he died in Tockshish, Chickasaw Natio n, MS TER, 5 MAY 1827. William was the eldest son of James Logan Colber t. He was a celebrated fighter, and was an ally of the Americans, not on ly against hostile Indians, but also when a struggle against Spain for t he possession of the Mississippi seemed imminent, and later, when the r ed men and the British invaders were in league against an infant nation, ( War of 1812).
William was baptized at in Monroe Mission, Pontotoc Co., MS, 7 OCT 1827.
He was listed as a resident in the census report in Chickasaw Nation, 18 18 as Jameson.
Winchester's will was probated in Pontotoc Co., Chickasaw Nation, IT, 17 F EB 1897. From Kerry Armstrong's site: "Daugherty (Winchester) Colbert although listed as a son of the large fami ly of Levi Colbert, and although he was reared as a member of that famil y, a verification impels the conclusion that he was not, in fact, a s on of Levi Colbert. He is reputed to be the natural son of an itinerant, a dventurous white man by the name of Darrity. His mother was a Chickasaw wo man. He was received by adoption in to the family of Levi Colbert. "He was invested with the family name of Colbert, his own father's name be ing employed as his first name. But Darrity Colbert soon became Daugher ty Colbert, occasioned not only by a similarity in the names but also prob ably influenced by the fact that a near relative of Levi Colbert bore t he name of Daugherty Colbert. The name Winchester Colbert was adopted by t he young man some years later and so through life he sometimes was recogni zed as Daugherty Colbert and at other times as Winchester Colbert." (Memse rve, John Bartlett, Chronicals of Oklahoma, "Governor Daugherty (Wincheste r) Colbert", vol.XVIII, p.348). Recent "Colbert" Scholars believe that he was the son of Samuel and Nan cy (Frazier) Colbert, (a younger son of James Logan Colbert), and upon Sam uel's early death, he was adopted by Levi Colbert. (See, Martini "Chickas aw Empire"). He removed to Indian Territory in 1837 and settled with his family near wh ere Canadian, Oklahoma is located today. The Colbert home was on the sou th side of the Canadian River near North Fork, a community of the Creek Na tion. Later in life he moved to Pontotoc Co., Indian Territory. In Augu st of 1858, he became the second Governor of the Chickasaw Indian Natio n. He was re-elected in August of 1862, and again in August of 1864. He w as the Chickasaw Governor during the period of the Civil War.
COEL was the son of Cyllin. The name Coel implies the same meaning as the English name 'Faith' does now. Coel was educated in Rome. (Wurts, 1942; Morgan 1911) The book "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" lists him as the son of King Marius of Siluria. My data will remain as it is based upon Wurts, 1942 and Morgan 1911, since there are considerable questions as to the aforementioned book.
