Son of James Colbert and Mealbh Welch (first name is highly questionable)
He was married around 1909-1911 to Samie Boatner.
Husband of Ada M (last name believed to be Washington - although the marriage records would mean that either she is not the mother of his children, or they were married after they had children together)
NOTE: His WW I draft records indicate that he was "single" at the time of the draft - June 5 - no year given, presumably 1917. He claims exemption for his sole custody of 3 children. Based on this, it is likely he either had a previous wife who left him with the children, or is a widow.
