"Five years later, the new Chickasaw government sided with the Confederacy declared itself independent of the United States. The Civil War disrupted most elements of Chickasaw National life.Courts ceased to function and tribal legislatature convened only on as irregular basis.
Chickasaw Gov. "Winchester" Colbert fled to Texas in 1864 as Union forces invaded the Nation."

Perryville was in 1863 so that was in the Middle Boggy invasion time period.

Pontotic was a county in Ms also where the Colbert's had lived before removal to I.T.The owned large number of slaves and operated River crossing in Mississippi.
Some of the other Colbert listed on the 1860 Slave Index of Pontotic Co are also his childern and Dau's.
by count that means over 30+ slaves and over 20 people at "Old Pontotic" but if I've mis-count I'm sure you will correct it.
