1820 Kentucky Widows land grant law
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.

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.

1822 March Pulaski County Court Order:  Salt Works Road (current day hwy 692)
1822 March Pulaski County Court Order: Salt Works Road (current day hwy 692)
Jesse Richardson appointed surveyor of road mentioning route from Meece, to John Langdon (at pitman creek and hwy 192) to Charles Colyear (Colyer). I have not determined if this was Charles Colyer Sr. or Charles Colyer Jr. Based on 1823 deed to Charles Colyer on Pitman Creek, it appears that Charles Colyer (likely Jr.) had 67 acres closer to current Grundy Rd (hwy 692) on Pitman Creek. It appears this road order is in the direction from Pitman creek on hwy 192 to Grundy Rd hwy 692 and down the same toward where Pitman creek crosses Grundy Rd hwy 692.

1824 Pulaski Court Order Road from Ford at Pitmans Creek at John Langdons
1824 Pulaski Court Order Road from Ford at Pitmans Creek at John Langdons
This is copy of microfilm of Court Order Book September term of 1824 identifying location of Ford at Pitman Creek at John Langdon's...thus establishing age of John Colyer house at that location to be at least as old as 1824. See deed on site in 1842 where John Colyer purchases house/property from Langdon's.

Pulaski County Kentucky Court Order Book 3, page 367B---

"Ordered that Thomas Price be appointed Surveyor of the Road from Pitman's Creek to Buck Creek on the ____ of Tho. Stephens, and that he with hands_____ within the precinct herein after below mentioned, an _____ in good repair according to law, to wit, Beginning at the Ford of Pitmans Creek at John Langdons from thence a straight Corner to the head of Sugartree Hollow from thence down the same to the south thence down Buck Creek to the Whitley Road thence with the same to Pitmans Creek and up the same to the Begg (except John Brinson, Wm Herrin, John Brinson, Senr, John
Herrin & Shaderick Price)." This Court Order helps determine age of Log house that John Colyer bought in 1842 as having been the residence of John Langdon (ie based on location at Pittman Creek ford) as this road order referencing the residence in about 1822. Therefore, since census shows John Langdon in area in 1820, I conclude house there at least since 1820.

1824, September Pulaski Court Order: Road now Jarvis Ave and Rush Branch Rd
1824, September Pulaski Court Order: Road now Jarvis Ave and Rush Branch Rd
Here John Langdon, former owner of John Colyer log house on current day hwy 192, is on committee to find best way for a road from Somerset to the road along Pitman creek ( what in those days was called Whitley Rd). Current day, this road is thought to be Murphy Ave to Elihu Rush Branch to Rush Branch road to Old Alcade Road ...that use to continue to Strawberry/Clay Hill Rd to hwy 192. John Langdon lived at Whitley Rd and Pitman Creek. Currently that is Hwy 192 at Clay Hill Rd. Evidence in other road orders 1824, 1835: show that Landon house was on Whitley Rd. The road orders in 1824, 1825 and 1835 shows that what is now Rush Branch Rd (formerly Whitley Rd) used to come toward Somerset until reaching Pitman Creek then turn right and follow Pitman Creek until there was a ford at the Landon/Colyer house. Then in 1824 with this court order, a road is ordered to connect Somerset to the Whitley Rd(road along pitman creek) via Elihu. Previously, it appears the Whitley road came into Somerset by merging at current day hwy 692 Grundy Road-Salt Works Road and continue into East Mt. Vernon. The road with this order to do so via area close to mouth of Rush Branch stream of pitman creek at Wm Owens house at Elihu. Maps attached to this doc.

1830 Pulaski County KY census extract
1830 Pulaski County KY census extract
Shows John Collier. The pulaski county census only shows 2 colliers there in 1830, John and Charles. John had large household. See book on site of circuit rider methodist preacher Landrum, who says stayed at Collier's after preaching at William Sears, who lived near the Hails (see 1830 sears census) , my guess across cumberland river from John Collier. Also shows aged female(presumed mother of John Colyer) living in household.
