    Koloktronis had Albanian ancestry but he was mostly mixed.

    Theodoros Kolokotronis had family origins from Arcadia, Crete and other parts of Greece as well as Mani. There is a plaque in Greece showing his family geneology (in part), his Maniot heratige dates back to the 15th century from Tsirginis Tryantafilakos (Ancestor year 1540).

      Greece in the Twentieth Century, By Fotini Bellou - Page 15:

      Albanian-speaking Suliots and Hydriots, Vlach-speaking Thessalians and Epirots and Slav-speaking Macedonians had fought in revolutionary Greece along with other Greeks, and no one had thought that non-Greek speakers were any less Greek than Greek speakers.
