Re: Choctaw & Chickasaw Battalion

Kent,

Gov. Colbert is buried in a small (Colbert) cemetery with his son Humphries on a large ranch two miles north of Fittstown just east of OK 99 about 1/4 mile east on the north side the section-line road to Frisco. This was the "Colbert Home Place" after 1857, until Col. Phillips burned it in 1864.

From Cochrans, the Dragoon Trail split from the Ft. Arbuckle Road and the road to Cherokee Town which went past Colbert's home place, and then the Dragoon Trail went south across (Cochran's then Byrd's) Mill Creek (headwaters at Byrd's Spring) and then Sheep Creek, and then the Trail followed Canyon Creek "canyon" south past your home place (I think about two miles east of it) to get up on the limestone plateau of the Blue, where it sounds like you lived on top near the "edge."
