Colley enlisted into the Confederate Army in 1861 in Shelby Springs, Alabama. He served throughout the war in the 29th Alabama Infantry Regiment. The 29th served in and around Pensacola, Florida during the early stages of the war and then went to Georgia and Tennessee during various campaigns. Colley was discharged from the Confederate Army after the surrender in Greensboro, North Carolina on May 25, 1865.
Colley moved to Texas in 1867 and was confirmed as a citizen of the State of Texas in 1870. According to his Confederate Pension application information, Colley lived in Hunt County.
In Confederate Home roster records, Colley listed Winnsboro, Texas as his residence. He worked as a farmer after the war and in 1928, applied for admission into the Confederate Men's Home in Austin. He was admitted on October 27, 1928 and died two years later on July 30, 1930.
