LOW QUANTITY

In many ways, this manuscript asks as many questions as it gives answers.  It was not written as a biographical sketch of James Logan Colbert.  Instead, its purpose is to identify and trace his genealogical history.  To accomplish this, the author researched the migration pattern of several Chickasaw Indian trader families.  Surprisingly, it led to the Roanoke River in North Carolina and to the present-day counties of Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Northampton.  This manuscript will provide many surprises to its readers.  It is hoped it will be informative.  Historical accounts backed by genealogical findings are used throughout to re-evaluate Colbert's "family tradition" that has been accepted for over one hundred years.
