| 201 |  | 1803 Wayne County Kentucky KY tax list Shows Alexander Sinclair with 150 acres. 1801 was year of formation of Wayne County Ky and he does not appear on list. Likewise, he does not appear on 1804 list. Evidently he was there only 1802-1803 and part of 1804 when he files Power of Attorney with court. | |
| 202 |  | 1804 Alexander St Clair power attorney (better copy) Wayne County KY. Property tax research shows that Alexander St. Clair had a 150 acres or so on the Cumberland River's south fork. This power of attorney is to Samuel Carson. Deed and property tax research show that Samuel Carson also had land on south fork of cumberland river that was in Pulaski County KY. Therefore, it was near the Wayne County/Pulaski County line. Alexander St. Clair disappears from property tax records about 1804. He appeared on the property tax records in 1802-1803. Why would he name a neighbor to take care of his business ? Was he sick ? did he die shortly thereafter ? The Power of attorney mentions a lawsuit judgement against who is determined to be James Craig. James Craig was a town trustee of Christianburg VA and sheriff and Justice of Peace at other times in Montgomery County VA. See the lawsuit document from Montgomery County VA dated 1789 that was between Johnston vs. Sinclair that evidently names James Craig as court officer to recover costs for Sinclair. Also notice the land out of Dr. Walker's grant....presumably Dr. Thomas Walker. Also of note, is that in this power of attorney, Alexander calls his mother "Nancy". Most legal records in Montgomery County VA where she lived called her "Ann". One other record found in Pendleton District of South Carolina filed by Alexander in 1790 names his mother as "Nancy". See notes on the 1768 survey and the 1784 grant files that raises the question of whether Alexander thought his mother Nancy Ann had 114 acres besides the 300 obtained by survey/grant in 1784-1785 and that the 114 acres was still available for the estate to sell. | |
| 203 |  | 1804 Alexander St. Clair Power of Attorney POA Wayne County KY. Notice that this concerns admin of Nancy St Clair estate and a land claim that was from "Dr. Walker". Presumably this is Dr. Thomas Walker who was with Nancy's husband in 1748 on journey to first discover Cumberland River/Gap. Many credit Dr. Walker with naming Cumberland, however Preston in writing about 1748 journey says it was named then. | |
| 204 | | 1804 Charles Collier deed to Richard Collier Charles Colyar sells 390 acre out of 640 acre grant land in Carter County TN in Limestone cove to Richard Colyar (Colyer, Collier). See 1806 power of attorney under Charles Colyer filed in Sullivan County TN concerning this Limestone property dispute with estate of Richard Caswell. | |

| 206 | | 1804 Charles Colyer sued $200 Carter County TN Another lawsuit by Thomas Stuart, this one for $200 debt, which plus costs is assigned to King & McAllister who sue to collect. They sue for $287, but the case is settled for $56. | |
| 207 | | 1804 Charles Colyer sued for $200 debt Carter County TN Here Thomas Love sues to collect $200. It is settled for $124 that will result in foreclosure auction of Limestone Cove land in a year or so. | |

| 210 | | 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 | |

| 218 | | 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. | |
| 219 | | 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: | |

| 222 |  | 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) | |

| 225 | | 1806 Charles Colyer land limestone cove purchase dispute This power of attorney filed in Sullivan County TN to recover money from 640 acre land warrant sale to Charles Colyer in 1792 (deed was recorded 1793). The James Glasgow mentioned that transferred the land to Charles Colyer was the secretary of North Carolina that signed the land grant. See the 1778 land grant link. James Glasgow was also a personal friend of Richard Caswell, and he is named in Richard Caswell last will and directed to see that the will is property recorded. It appears that James Glasgow had property in Sullivan County TN. The 1792 land grant to Charles Colyer, had evidently orginally been a warrant issued to former NC governor Richard Caswell in 1778, which his estate transferred to Charles Colyer. The actual grant to Charles Colyer says at the bottom that it arrived at land office without an official seal. Secondly, the power of attorney attempts to recover from a previous power of attorney grant to Alexander Outlaw. Surprisingly, based on deed and other court doc searches, there was actually a fellow named Alexander "Outlaw". | |

| 235 | | 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. | |

| 241 | | 1808 Pulaski County Ky news from Washington to Jesse Richardson 1000ac George Washington's nephew, sells 1000 acres on Flat Lick Creek to Jesse Richardson for $1000.

| 242 | | 1808 pulaski deed bk 2 washington to jesse richardson 1000ac George Washington's nephew, by George's half brother, Augustine, sells 1000 acres on Flat Lick Creek Pulaski County Ky to Jesse Richardson for $1000. William Augustine Washington was The son of the half-brother of President George Washington, he was also one of the seven executors of the former President's estate. William Augustine Washington died in 1810, and is buried at Mt. Vernon,VA. One witness to the lastwill of William Augustine Washington was Francis Scott Key, writer of the star spangled banner. William Washington had an agent located in Frankfort KY to sell his land grant holdings in KY named Mr. McIver. A Mr. Thomas Landford writes to William Washington recommending Pulaski Clerk William Fox as appraiser of land and they say worth $1/acre. Jesse Richardson writes several letters to William Washington, revealing 1st that William Washington had been ill during Jesse Richardson's stay at William Washington's house in Washington DC. Other letters show concern of slowness of William Washington getting a grant certificate to land to be sold, since there were competing preemption grants that could get it first if William Washington does not act faster. They use congressman Adair to help. On letter from Jesse Richardson to William Washington gives indication that he paid for the land with horses delivered to Washington in Georgetown VA from Kentucky. | |
| 243 | | 1808 Va Old Ky land grant to William Augustine Washington This land grant was sold to Jesse Richardson in 1808. It had been under contract for sale to Jesse Richardson since 1806, but evidently waiting for the state of Ky to issue the grant that was pursuant to a VA revolutionary soldier survey for military service done in the late 1700s. As was often the case, the military grant was sold assigned, ending up in the hands of William Augustine Washington. | |
| 244 | | 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. | |

Hutchings was son in law of John Donelson, and with Donelson the founder of City of Nashville. 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. | |

| 249 | | 1810 Floyd county KY deed to infant sons of Richard Collier researchers has assumed this apparent gift deed was to small children of baptist pastor Richard Collier who moved to Pulaski County KY. The pastor was born about 1777 based on his obit in baptist writings. There was another Richard Colyar(collier) that was in Henry and Pittsylvania county VA that was connected that would have been older from at least the generation born abt 1740-1750 or could have been older. | |
