Below is a "paper trail" documenting the family of David COLBURN and Delana (Delaney) BARNETT of Perry County, AL.
I finally found their two sons, Andrew Jackson and John David, in the 1880 census in Perry County, AL under the surname COLEMAN.

I would like to share info with others researching these individuals.
