TEll me about your VA Colbert's. I come from a Lemeul Colbert m 1790 Campbell Co VA to Phebe Blankenship. I can trace Phebe for generations back, but Lem's a question.I think he came from outerspace. Have some of his kids, but not all. He disappeared (died/left?) between 1809 and 1820 when PHebe is listed in 1820 census as Head of household with 5 males tithables.
I can document three sons and possibly two others and at least one daughter, but there are a number missing and certain, given they were married in 1790, there are a number of children missing from the 1820 census. I have one daughter married in 1809. NO records of his death have been found
anxious to hear about your Colbert's. I can find them in York Co and surroundings in the late 1600's and then they disappear as well.
any help welcome.
Thank you
Karen
