51		1804 Alexander St. Clair Power of Attorney POA Wayne County KY	Alexander Sinclair
52		1804 Pulaski County KY, deed book 1: 100 acres Stevens to Stoner Michael Stoner purchases for 35 British pounds 100 acres on Cumberland River. He quickly sells this for profit.	Michael Stoner, NO CURTIS/COLYER RELATION
53		1804-1810 Pulaski County Tax Records Shows Samuel Blevins in 1804, on Buck Creek Pulaski County KY, believed to be father of Polly Blevins, who Pulaski County Court records in 1806 show married a John Colyer. This file is evidence that the John Colyer that Polly Blevins married in 1806 (reported father Samuel Blevins) is the John Colyer born 1781. HOWEVER, ALL IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS AND ASSUMED. FURTHER INFO ON THIS SITE PROVIDED BY BLEVINS FAMILY RESEARCHERS SHOWS THAT "MARY" BLEVINS , DAUGHTER OF SAMUEL BLEVINS, DIED IN LOUISVILLE KY IN 1855 AND THAT CENSUS OF 1850 SHOWS MARRIED TO A JOHN COLYEAR. WE DON'T KNOW WHO THIS JOHN COLYEAR(COLYER) WAS, BUT EVIDENTLY NO RELATION TO JOHN COLYER BORN 1781 OF PULASKI COUNTY. The other John Colyer on tax records and later designated as "Junior", is beleived to be John Colyer Jr. born 1744, whom most of his life believed to live near Charles Colyer, baby brother, who bailed John out of court in Jonesboro TN prior to 1805 when Charles moved to Pulaski County Ky. He shows up in tax records here near Charles and later in Rockcastle County KY where Charles later moved. Without death record of Mary Colyer from Jefferson County KY in 1855 it would have been easy to Conclude that John Colyer born 1781 married Polly Blevins , since we know from pension records on John Colyer Jr. born 1744, he was long married to Grizelda Taylor in 1806. We have information that John Colyer Jr 1744 had son named John, but that he died in Rockcastle County ky in 1833 so not the Jefferson County Ky John Colyear. Further, we have information on a John Collier from Randolph Cty NC who moved to Greene County Tn but died there as did his son John...died in Greene County TN. So mystery continues as to who the Louisville John Colyear was descended from. Could he be descended from John Colyear in Franklin Cty IN who had Revolutionary pension file ? The 1810 tax records shows Bluford Colyer, so he may have been born before 1809	Mary "Polly" Blevins Samuel Blevins Bluford Colyer John Colyer

57		1805 James Collier noncupative (unwritten) will Madison County KY Witnesses are John Collier Sr. and John Collier Jr. Are these the Rockcastle County John Colyer/Colyar born 1744 and his son ? Or others located in Madison County KY ? If not the Rockcastle Colyer's much doubt is thrown on this Will being the presumed brother of John Colyer born 1744 in Rockcastle County KY.	James ? Colyer
58		1805 John Colyer log house / farm pedigree Chain of title beginning with a 1800 KY South of Green River land grant to Henry Waggoner.(from Jillson's KY Land Grants book) There was a Henry II born 1756-1757 and a III born 1785. Henry Waggoner II's father was an immigrant from Germany in 1742. The III was married to Mary Blackledge in Pulaski County in 1807. (See book "Johann Henrich Wagner: The Chronicle of an 18th Century German Pioneer" published 2021.) Henry Waggoner II born 1757, would have built the Log house in 1805 on the farm on Pitman Creek that John Colyer lived/died in. A Pulaski County KY deed is also attached showing the sale of the farm From Henry Waggoner II to John Langdon in 1813. The Waggoner's then moved to Indiana. For a good discussion of German influence on Log houses in pioneer America, see Log House Architecture:	John Colyer
59		1805 Pulaski County KY deed book 1: Stoner sells 100 acres Stoner sells 100 acres on Cumberland River for 110 British pounds, which he purchased a year earlier for 35 British pounds.	Michael Stoner, NO CURTIS/COLYER RELATION
60		1805 Pulaski County KY tax record Henry Waggoner log house property This is first year the Pitman creek property shows on Pulaski County tax records. This even though South of Green River land grant shows being surveyed to Henry Waggoner in 1800. However the deed of sale in 1813 to John Langdon from Henry Waggoner, apparently shows the property was not deeded of record to Henry Waggoner until 1813. Thanks to Ms. Margaret Dent Wagner for this property tax record (author: Johann Henrich Wagner-The Chronicle of an 18th Century German Pioneer)	John Colyer

65		1807-1817 John Langdon land grant In researching age of log house John Langdon heirs sold to John Colyer in 1842, traced earliest records on John Langdon in Pulaski County KY on Ancestry.com. Record showed 720 acres grant in 1807. Upon searching records of same in KY archives, discovered grant was for 72 acres not 720 and was in 1817, not 1807. Grant and later records show it was on Buck Creek, not Pitman creek. Therefore was not the property of log house sold to John Colyer 1842.	John Colyer
66		1808 John Colyer land grant 50 Acre South of Green River grant assigned from Charles Dodson via Thomas Bryan to John Colyer. This appears to be first land ownership by John Colyer(Colyar) in Kentucky Pulaski County in Jugornot region.	John Colyer

68		1810 book of KY land grants by Jillson: misspelled Stoner Jillson misspelling of name as "Stone". Shows 140 acres, which is the 150 acre Wayne County Court authorized, but Stoner or his family only pays for 125+15 acres of it, resulting in 140 acres. See KY land office records concerning this grant that show this.	Michael Stoner, NO CURTIS/COLYER RELATION

Both were surveyors from Pittsylvania County VA who after arriving in Nashboro as original settler, came to Lincoln County Ky and surveyed and grabbed land in 1780-1783 before returning to Nashville. Andrew Jackson and Thomas Hutchings married Donelson sisters.	Charles Colyer
71		1810 Federal Census Pulaski County Ky Shows John Colyer and a Buford (whom I do not know who it is) in 1810 in Kentucky, believed to be on Cumberland River in Jugornot area of Somerset Ky today. John Colyer did have a son named Bluford Colyer. Some early tax records about 1810 show this "Buford" Collier(Colyer) with name of "Bluford"	John Colyer

Charles Colyer John III Colyer William Colyer John Colyer (Colyar), Jr.
77		1810 Telico Land Grant law Kentucky This act granted settlers with residence on land right to land grant. This was land obtained by state by Telico treaty with Cherokee and other indian tribes. "On October 2, 1798, the first Treaty of Tellico was negotiated with the Cherokee Nation. It allowed for safe passage of settlers using the Kentucky road, running through Cherokee land between the Cumberland Mountain and the Cumberland River, in exchange for hunting rights on all relinquished lands, a further refinement of the Holston Treaty of 1791. By 1803, the demand for salt on Cherokee land in Kentucky dramatically increased when England seized American ships involved the salt trade. In 1805, the remaining Cherokee land in Kentucky was considered crucial to the national security of the United States. Between October 25 and 27, 1805, Kentucky Cherokee Chief Doublehead singed the final Treaties of Tellico, ceding the land south of the Cumberland River. Feeling that they had been betrayed and sold out, Doublehead was assassinated on August 9, 1807 in McIntosh Tavern, Hiwassee, Tennessee, by Charles Hicks, Alexander Saunders, and Major Ridge—his own people.

80		1814 land office files for 150 acre land grant This is second South of Green River series land grant issued to Stoner near Cumberland River. It was Wayne County Court authorized 1802, surveyed in 1810, part paid for in 1814 (125 acre) and the another part paid for 1820(15acres). Therefore, concluded it would not be home of Michael Stoner at his death even though he was paying taxes on it in Wayne County KY from the date the court authorized the grant.	Michael Stoner, NO CURTIS/COLYER RELATION
81		1814 Pulaski County Property tax records Langdon Shows copies from KY archives of Pulaski County KY property tax records of property John Langdon on Pitman Creek.

99		1820 Kentucky Widows land grant law This act does not appear to have any expire date. The life un-alienable right to land grant to Widows may be a reason the sale deed to John Colyer farm in 1865 by his widow, Lydia, mentions her life right to land and required children to join.	John Colyer
100		1820 Pulaski County Census image and 1830 extract In re: to determine age of log house John Colyer purchased in 1842 from Langdon's that is still standing in 2011: Shows that John Langdon was living in house in 1820, next to the same neighbors his widow Susannah lives next to in 1830 census. The 1810 census was, I have read, destroyed in war of 1812 and the images of the 1810 census available are index images by last name, which are not helpful in locating where people lived by reference to neighbors since in lastname order, not in order as taken. Susannah Langdon sells 200 acre farm to John Colyer in 1842. Therefore, house that is on the same 200 acre farm at Pittman creek in 2011, whose back faces the 1824-1835 road (ie house built before road thus house faces creek) was most likely built in 1806, the year that John John Langdon has a South of Green River Legislative Act of 1795 Land Grant per court records. These Grants required property settlement and improvement w/ cabin or crops. The Grant was for 720 acres. George B. Cooper (neighbor in census of 1820-1830 also got land grant in 1805.	John Colyer
