General Notes: Husband - Isaac Colbert


His parents died when he was about two years of age, and he was reared by William McCollough, of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. He learned the hatter's trade, and in 1835 came to Butler County and settled in Butler township, where he built a shop and commenced the manufacture of hats, also carrying on a small farm at the same time. In 1836 he removed to Butler, and located on Main street, where he continued the manufacture of hats and conducted a retail hat store. This business he carried on until his death, at which time he was the oldest merchant in the borough, with the exception of William Campbell.
He and his wife both were life-long members of the Presbyterian church. Politically, he was a Whig, but joined the Republican party at its birth, and was elected by that party treasurer of Butler County.
