A connection with the Cherokees was mentioned in one of the messages. The Calverts (or Colberts) are also associated with the Chickasaw Nation. If you examine the records of the Continental Congress and later Congresses, you will find references to names such as Colonel Levi Calvert, General George Calvert, etc. These were all Calverts (Colberts) descended from a James Colbert. James Colbert was a native of one of the Carolinas, probably S. C. & came into the Chickasaw Nation prior to 1750, was adopted into an Indian family, sometime afterwards became a trader & made property, took a wife; & had several children - six sons and two daughters - all dead save one of the girls - had three wives - the daughter, Wm, by his first - by his second, George, Levi, & Joseph - all had Chickasaw mothers & James & Susan had a half breed mother.
