Dear Gina, I am Melanie's aunt, her father is my youngest brother. I have information on the Colson side of the family. I had gotten it from my great uncle Nuel Barham Colson {last year before he died}, youngest brother of Susie Odessa, who is one of Docia's children. If you are interested in this information, I would be glad to send you copies of the papers he sent, with some of the information going back to the 1700's, I think. If you are interested please call me at 810-937-8960 {cell}.
