Generation No. 1
- WILLIAM (BILL) COLSTON was born 1805 in Virginia and died 1880 in Texas
or Tennessee.
He married MARTHA A. MINATRA 1835 in Tennessee. She was born 1820 in South
Carolina or Virginia.
Notes for WILLIAM (BILL) COLSTON:
He was a tailor and a farmer in Giles County, Tennessee and
Lincoln County, Tennessee between 1840 – 1880.
William “Bill” Colston:
Birth: Gives age as 45 on 1850 Lincoln County, Tennessee census, a
household #1100; page 131, transcribed by Shirley Cato, 1991.
Gives age as 45 on 1860 Giles County, Tennessee Census, household 331/328, page 14 or 74 (not clear)
Gives age as 57 on 1870 Giles County, Tennessee Census, D-17, H#-120.
Death: It is possible that William and Martha Colston moved with their
son, David Colston, and family to Ellis County, Texas after the 1880 Lincoln
Co., Tennessee Census.
General (6,7,8,9,1); *No proof that William “Bill” Colston is the son
of Issac and Eliza “Paine/Payne” Colston, but time-frame and locations to
allude to that conclusion; further research needed. (Gladys Colston Shannon
9/1999).
William is shown on 1840 Marshal County, Tennessee census; page 42
with two children, one female and one male, each under the age of 5 years.
1 male: 20 – 30
1 female 20 – 30.
He is also living next door to James Colston who, I believe to be his
brother. James married Almyra Edwards in Marshal County, Tennessee; and they were living next door to the Edward’s family.
William and Martha Colston are shown on 1850 Lincoln County, Tennessee
census with Sarah and Solomon being the two oldest children. Could be a
descrepancy in Solomon’s age. William and Martha Colston are listed on 1860
- 1870 Giles County, Tennessee Census. William and Martha Colston are listed
on 1880 Lincoln County, Tennessee census and William is listed as a retired
tailor by trade. Oral family history states William was a tailor. Martha’s
name listed as “Martha A.” on the 1880 census. Nickname “Bill” given for
William on son’s (Sam) death record.
He is consistent through the census as being born in Virginia.
Notes for MARTHA A. MINATRA:
Birth:
Gives age as 40 on 1850 Lincoln County, Tennessee census, household Believed to be sister of David Minatree, Giles County, Tennessee 1850.
Census, no proof.
General (10,3,11,12,1): There is no proof that Martha is the daughter of
David James and Martha Minatree, but migration pattern of both families
implies this. William and Martha Colston were in Giles County, Tennessee in
the same community with the Minatree family. She also named her children
the same names as the Minatree children, thus her grandchildren carried on
the same names.
David Colston, their son, left Giles County,Lincoln County, Tennessee after
the 1880 census, as did some of the Minatree families moving to Texas. There
is no further proof of William or Martha Colston that I have found after the
1880 Lincoln County, Tennessee census living near their son, David, and his
family.
Children of WILLIAM COLSTON and MARTHA MINATRA are:
- i. SOLMON M. COLSTON, b. December 14, 1838, Tennessee; d. February 26,
1923, Dyersburg, Dyer County, Tennessee. - ii. SARAH ANNE COLSTON, b. 1839, Marshall County, Tennessee; d. Bef.

No date of death available.
His spouses were:
Nancy C. Paine (married July 29, 1866)

Birth: Age varies on census records; 1860 – 70 – 80;
Giles County, Lincoln County, Tennessee.
Military (21); Confederate States Army, Pvt. in K-Co., 6th Tn. Cav.

Gladys Shannon’s notes:
Birth (20):
On 1840 Marshall County, Tennessee census, William and Martha (Minatree)
Colston had 2 children listed under the age of 5 years: 1 male and 1 female.
This would be Solomon M. Colston and Sarah Colston per 1850 Lincoln
County, Tennessee census. Death: Death, Burial Record
Military : Confederate States Army, Co. F & A, 32nd Infantry Regiment,
Tennessee.
General : CSA Military records (b – 1842) and 1850 Lincoln
County, Tennessee, Tennessee census (b – 1838) differ for birth year.
William and Martha (Minatree) Colston are listed on 1840 Marshall County,
Tennessee census with 2 children under the age of 5 years. 1 female and 1
male. This would tend to lean toward 1838 as the birth year for Solomon.
