    In 1830, it tells of the destitute position that Susan's brother James Colbert found himself in, and about how he was trying to get back the slaves that he had inherited from his father James Logan Colbert, but had given or sold to a number of his friends or relatives. Listed among those friends or relatives was Benjamin Love, who had married Charlotte Burney (a granddaughter of young James Colbert's sister Susan), David Burney (a brother of Charlotte's), Simon Burney (the father of Charlotte and David, as well as the husband of Margaret "Peggy" Allen), and Susan Perry, John Perry, and Joseph Perry.

    Susan Colbert, youngest of the Captain's [James Logan Colbert] children, took for a husband one James Allen, a white man, bore him a daughter named Peggy Allen, and disappeared from history in 1800.

    Susan Colbert evidently died about 1800.

    NOTE: Researchers agree that Susie (Colbert) Allen married a man named Perry between 1797-1798 and moved to the Choctaw Nation.

    Written several years after his "Chickasaw" book, he has now changed his position that there were two "James Allens". He now states:

    James Allen, a native of North Carolina and reputedly at one time a lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee, arrived in the Chickasaw Nation sometime before 1793. By 1797, he was married to Susan Colbert, the youngest daughter of trader James Colbert, [James Logan Colbert], and two years later their daughter, Peggy, was baptized by missionary Joseph Bullen. Allen was also married in 1797 or 1798 to Betsy Love, daughter of trader Thomas Love

    Susy Perry Colbert was probably the daughter of Joseph or Samuel Colbert, brothers to Major James Colbert, (who was the youngest of James Logan Colbert's sons), and that she was adopted by Major James Colbert, as apparently it is believed that both Joseph and Samuel died early
