201	Miss Alice colyer Gala of Louisville Ky on 8/1/98 stated that she had information learned from books in the Louisville Filson club library about Virginia in Revolutionary War. She states that her info says that a Charles Colyer was born in Fauquier Co. Virginia and Enlisted in the Military in Henry Co. Virginia after the war. That he lived in Washington Co. Tn, Pulaski Co. Kentucky then Rock Castle Co. Kentucky. He applied for a pension in 1834. His revolutionary war number for pension was S30967. Alice thinks that this was Williams brother. Rock Castle is very close to Pulaski county. Genological abstracts of Revolutionary files Vol I A-D by White. White's extract as follows: "Colyer, Charles, S30967, VA Line, sol was b in Dec 1757 Fauquier Cty VA & enl in Henry Cty VA & after the war sol lived in VA & in TN that part which later became Washington Cty TN then moved to Pulaski Cty KY then to Rockcastle Cty KY & appl there 30 Jul 1834." Correspondence from National Archives re: Charles Colyer record in letter dated Aug 5, 1930 to Mr. Ben Reeves of Branesville GA from acting commissioner of archives E.W. Morgan he states that: " He enlisted in Henry County, Virginia, in 1779 or 1780, served as a private under Captain Cunningham guarding the frontiers and scouting after the Indians, and was wounded in an engagement on Holston River by a ball from a pistol passing through his left side, length of this service not less than three months. He enlisted in the summer of 1781, exact date not given, served as a private in Captains James Shelton's and Rice's Virginia Companies, was stationed as a guard at Prince Edward Court House. A part of the time, length of this service not less than four months. In the Fall of the year after the siege of Yorktown, exact date not stated, he was appointed by Colonel Love to range the frontier country near the Tennessee line against the Indians and served three months." Examination of copies of the handwritten affidavit in 1834 for pension application shows that Richard Colyer, a clergyman, testified to Charles Colyer's character and stories of his service in Revolutionary War. This Richard Colyer said that he had known Charles Colyer for some 30 years. This is same Richard Colyer, clergy , that also testifies on behalf of Grizzy Colyer (widow of John Colyer of 1744) for pension. http://www.mdslavery.net/html/research/slavebuy.html Dorchester County, MD Slave Purchasers, 1823-1836 Colyer Charles Rock Castle Co., KY DORCHESTER COUNTY COURT (Chattel Records), 1827-1833 Affidavit by Jesse Brock, dated 14 Oct, 1836, stating that he gave power of attorney to Charleton Hurt of Lexington and that his original pension certificate had been lost or stolen while in the possession of Mayor Charles Colyer of Mount Vernon. - continuation of affidavit by Jesse Brock - Affidavit by James Henderson stating he drew up the power of attorney for Jesse Brock to Charleton Hunt and gave it to Mayor Charles Colyer and that it was either lost or stolen. signed John H. Slaughter - Affidavit by Mayor Charles Colyer of Rockcastle Co., KY, date 8 Nov 1836, states: He was given the pension certificate of Jesse Brock along with the power of attorney for Charleton Hunt. Sometime after seeing Mr. Hunt his pocket book was either lost or stolen which contained the original certificate. signed John H. Slaughter See the PDF documents section of this site referenced off the home page that says this Charles Colyer is of same family as A.S. Colyar descended. This is stated in Andrew Michaux?s Travels in the Tennessee Country contain reference to him in March 1796 arriving at Charles Collier?s 10 miles from Jonesborough. A footnote to this comment states that this Charles Collier was of the family from which descended Col. Arthur St. Clair Colyar. You can see the Michaux's book in PDF section concerning John Colyers of Washington County. This connects this Charles Colyer/Colyar to William Colyar of Washington Cty TN. Therefore, since Charles' pension file shows he was from Henry County VA, it follows that the William Colyar showing up in Henry County VA signing an oath of allegience there with Charles in 1777 (see PDF section fo site) is brother to Charles. Thus it seems that the Colyer/Colyar/Coliar of Henry County VA is in fact the family of William Colyar of Washington County TN. The book "A History of Pulaski County Kentucky" by Alma Owens Tibbals pub 1952 states on page 69 where speaking of Pulaski county bountiful creeks and resulting grist mills : "At the second court, which met in August, 1799, five permits were asked to erect water gristmills: Charles Collier on Brush Fork of Buck Creek;...." It appears from Revolutionary pension app data and this court order Pulaski County 1799, that Charles Colyer was first to come to Kentucky and Pulaski County. Followed by John Colyer, his nephew who received a land grant of Buck Creek /Cumberland River in 1809. See 1864 Civil War Map associated to John Colyer that shows a Colyer's Mill on Pitman Creek at current day Clay Hill Road. Also see road orders that reference Charles Colyear (Charles Colyer) land near Pitman creek in 1824.	Charles Colyer

203	Debbie Meece Sears 03/03/2015: I just talked to Peanut's daughter. She said there was a son named Homer that was older than the triplets. He never married, just got back from the war and was killed in a taxi cab accident on 461. He is buried at Clay Hill. There was 3 other girls.Edith who lived in Cinn. and later moved to Florida, Ardie who always lived in Cinn. and Addie who also lived in Cinn. She said her uncle "cracker Jack" learned to be a chef while in the Navy and was the chef at the Shriners restaurant in Cinn.	Charles (Charlie) B. Colyer
204	Per interview of Gary Ridner 08/24/12, who lives next to old Ruth Ky store, Charlie Colyer lived across the street from Clay Hill Baptist Church. He said there use to be a swing bridge across Pitman Creek there and across the creek was Charlie Colyer house. Mr. Rider who was raised in Ruth and worked as a boy at the old Ruth store/post office...said Charlie married his cousin. He said that Charlie has triplets the neighbors called Peanut, Popcorn and CrackerJack. Mr. Ridner said that Charlie Colyer in his last weeks moved into the Colyer/Warren house at 4060 hwy 192 and was cared for by his daughter , Ina Colyer Sroufe, who had moved back from Ohio and rented the old house at Pitman Creek.

206	curtisamerica.com note: From the underlying documents of various researchers beginning with the 1925 Callaway family by Mrs. A.E. Hart research paper on the family of John Colyer born 1744, I do not think it is clear whether Charles Eve Colyer, who was married to Mary Renfro is the son of John Colyer born 1744 or Charles Colyer Sr. born 1757 living per census in Mt. Vernon Ky Rockcastle county. Charles Colyer Sr. is brother of William Colyar father of John Colyer born 1781. Census records of Rockcastle county Ky show living there both a Charles Colyer Sr. and a Charles Colyer Jr. Other records may show John Colyer born 1744 having son named Charles, but many Colyer families in the area at the time had son's name Charles.

207	From Mrs. Sherrie White, Fort Worth Texas: 7/3/03 I remember Mama telling me that my Pawpaw (Charles G. Colyer II) taught school in Kentucky in a one-room school house. She had a handbell that he used to call the children to school with and a photo of his class. I don't know exactly where the picture is right now, but I will look for it. Also, the bell used to be in Mama's cedar chest, but when we were cleaning out the house after both of our parent's deaths, we couldn't find the bell. We don't know what happened to it. We were all very upset about that, because we all had heard about the history behind it and wanted to keep it. We think our Dad may have taken it out at some time and lost it or gave it away. He suffered from dementia before his death. Anyway, Mama said that Pawpaw also taught here in Texas after he moved here. He taught in a small community west of Fort Worth, but I don't know which one or if it is still there. I do have a wooden box that he ordered from the Baker Chocolate Co. to show his students what cocoa beans looked like! After teaching for a time, he started working for the Rock Island R.R. Co. I believe he worked there until he retired. He and Granny lived on the next street over from ours and we would walk over to their house. They are both buried at Mount Olivet Cemetery in Ft. Worth, but I have never seen their graves. My mother never took us there to see them. I didn't know about Sam's child dying here. I suppose it is possible that he could be buried at Mount Olivet too. Hopefully, we can find out. I think it is interesting that teaching was so prevalent in the Colyer family. I too was a teacher. I taught first grade for several years, then quit to start my family. After that, I didn't have the desire to go back to it. I recently found out that Granny and Pawpaw's graves had no markers or gravestones. I don't know the reason for this, but my brother found this out when they were there a couple of years ago for another funeral and decided to look them up. They were instructed where to go to find the graves, but were astonished to find no gravestones. We would like to change that in the future.	Charles Granade Colyer
208	http://kykinfolk.org/pulaski/fact_book/three.htm There were many citizens of Somerset who favored the Union in the struggle between the North and South in the 1860s as well as those who volunteered their services in the Confederate cause. Only two of the sixty-four men in Company "G" of the Forty-ninth Volunteer Infantry were not from Somerset. These two men were from Point Isabel (Burnside) just eight miles south of Somerset. The company Captain, Lee Leforce, was a resident of Somerset. About eight companies in all were enrolled on the outlying spurs of the Cumberland mountains. One of these companies was Company "L" of the First Cavalry Regiment. This company was organized at Somerset, September 11, 1861; was mustered into service October 28, 1861; and was mustered out December 31, 1864. This company eventually became part of Colonel Frank Wolford?s First Kentucky Cavalry and participated in the battle of Logan?s Crossroads in which the Confederate General Felix K. Zollicoffer?s brigade was defeated. The roll of Captain W. N. Owen?s Company "L": Captain W. N. Owens Enlisted September 11, 1861 Promoted Major July 31, 1862 Captain Joe. D.

209	Information associated with Charles J. Granade Colyer Civil War service based on place and date of enrollment due to impending Union draft: The Battle of Stones River or Second Battle of Murfreesboro (in the South, simply the Battle of Murfreesboro), was fought from December 31, 1862, to January 2, 1863, in Middle Tennessee, as the culmination of the Stones River Campaign in the Western Theater of the American Civil War. Of the major battles of the Civil War, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides. Although the battle itself was inconclusive, the Union Army's repulse of two Confederate attacks and the subsequent Confederate withdrawal were a much-needed boost to Union morale after the defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and it dashed Confederate aspirations for control of Middle Tennessee. Union Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans's Army of the Cumberland marched from Nashville, Tennessee, on December 26, 1862, to challenge General Braxton Bragg's Army of Tennessee at Murfreesboro. On December 31, each army commander planned to attack his opponent's right flank, but Bragg struck first. A massive assault by the corps of Maj. Gen. William J. Hardee, followed by that of Leonidas Polk, overran the wing commanded by Maj. Gen. Alexander M. McCook. A stout defense by the division of Brig. Gen. Philip Sheridan in the right center of the line prevented a total collapse and the Union assumed a tight defensive position backing up to the Nashville Turnpike. Repeated Confederate attacks were repulsed from this concentrated line, most notably in the cedar "Round Forest" salient against the brigade of Col. William B. Hazen. Bragg attempted to continue the assault with the corps of Maj. Gen. John C. Breckinridge, but the troops were slow in arriving and their multiple piecemeal attacks failed. Fighting resumed on January 2, 1863, when Bragg ordered Breckinridge to assault the well-fortified Union position on a hill to the east of the Stones River. Faced with overwhelming artillery, the Confederates were repulsed with heavy losses. Aware that Rosecrans was receiving reinforcements, Bragg chose to withdraw his army on January 3 to Tullahoma, Tennessee. Following the Battle of Stones River, Maj. Gen. William Rosecrans, commanding the Union Army of the Cumberland, remained in the Murfreesboro, Tennessee, area for over five months. In an effort to block further Union progress, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, commander of the Army of Tennessee, established a fortified line along the Duck River from Shelbyville to Wartrace. On the Confederate right, infantry and artillery detachments guarded Liberty, Hoover's, and Bellbuckle Gaps through the Highland Rim (near Beechgrove, Tennessee). Rosecrans's superiors, fearing that Bragg might detach large numbers of men to help break the Siege of Vicksburg, urged him to attack the Confederate positions. Battle On June 23, 1863, Rosecrans deployed forces to feign an attack on Shelbyville while massing forces against Bragg's right. His troops struck out toward the gaps. On June 24, Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas's men, spearheaded by Colonel John T. Wilder's "Lightning Brigade", attacked Hoover's Gap. Wilder's mounted infantry pushed ahead and reached the gap nearly 9 miles ahead of Thomas's main body.[3] Wilder's men were armed with new Spencer repeating rifles and when they attacked the Confederate 1st (3rd) Kentucky Cavalry Regiment, under Colonel J. Russell Butler, was easily pushed aside.[2] As Butler's unit fell back the entire 7 mile length of Hoover's Gap, it ran into Brig. Gen. William B. Bate's brigade of Maj. Gen. Alexander P. Stewart's division.[2] Wilder entrenched on the hills south of the gap and determined to hold this extremely advanced position.[3] Bate's brigade counterattacked throughout the day but could not dislodge the Federals. Wilder received orders from Thomas to fall back through the gap. Wilder refused claiming he could still hold his ground. Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. Bushrod Johnson's brigade arrived and now Bate and Johnson planned a final attack on Wilder. This attack was also repulsed and by 7:00 p.m. units from Lovell Rousseau and John M. Brannan's divisions of Thomas's corps arrived at the gap.[3] Just before noon on June 26, Stewart sent a message to Johnson and Bate stating that he was pulling back and they should also.[2] Although slowed by rain, Rosecrans moved on, forcing Bragg to retreat from his defensive line and fall back to Tullahoma. After reaching Tullahoma, Rosecrans sent Wilder's Lightning Brigade ahead to hit the railroad in Bragg's rear. Arriving too late to destroy the Elk River railroad bridge, the Federals destroyed railroad track around Decherd. Aftermath Bragg evacuated his forces from Middle Tennessee and withdrew to the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Rosecrans followed and captured that city on September 8, 1863. Maneuvering then continued in the Chickamauga Campaign. Rosecrans was frustrated that the victory at Hoover's Gap and the Tullahoma Campaign were overshadowed by two other Union victories in the summer of 1863, the Siege of Vicksburg and Battle of Gettysburg. 6th Regiment, Kentucky Cavalry (Confederate) Organized during the summer of 1862 with men from the central and eastern section of Kentucky. Most of its members were captured at Buffington Island on July 19 and the remaining part at New Lisbon on July 26, 1863. The regiment was not reorganized. Its commanders were Colonel J. Warren Grigsby, Lieutenant Colonel Thomas W. Napier, and Major William G. Bullitt. May, 1863, 2nd Cavalry Brigade, Col. R.M. Gano commanding, less some detachments retained by Gen. Morgan, temporarily attached to Grigsby's Cavalry operating in and about McMinnville, Tennessee. Morgan's force was subsequently destroyed at Buffington's Island, Ohio and the scattered remnants returning to Tennessee apparently rejoined the depleted remains of Gano's brigade operating with Grigsby. September 18, 1863, remnants of Morgan's former command and 2nd Cavalry Brigade under Col. R.M. Gano operating under Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in the Battle of Chickamauga. Brig. Gen. Richard M. Gano, taking with him remnants of his original "Texas Cavalry Squadron," now called "Gano Guards" and consisting of about eighty men, is assigned to the Trans-Mississippi Department to command all Texas Cavalry therein operating	Charles Granade Colyer
210	RE Union Draft in Kentucky---From "Camp Nelson Kentucky: A Civil War History" Univ. Ky Press:page 38: By the next summer (after the Emancipation Proclamation of January 1863), the enlistment of black soldiers was a major element of Union war policy, with recruitment fully under way in the free states and in parts of the Confederacy under Union occupation. But, of course, Kentucky was still exempt-since the Emancipation Proclamation, by design, did not apply there, and at least for the sake of a legal fiction, all Kentucky slaves were regarded as belonging to masters loyal to the Union. The prevailing attitude in Kentucky toward the mere possibility of black recruitment was little short of hysterical, if the reactions of its leading generals are any indication. "The enrollment act of March 3, 1863"-preparatory to the summer's recruitment drive-"included among those liable to draft all male citizens of the prescribed ages. This category was interpreted to include free Negroes, and the act was applied accordingly by the War Department. Enforcement of the provision met instant opposition in Kentucky."98 Opposition was spearheaded by Generals Boyle and Burnside. Briefly-from June 25 to June 27-Burnside was completely distracted from his military prepara- tions by this issue. From Camp Nelson, Boyle cabled him the distressing news, received from the governor himself, that "the War Dept have ordered the Enroll- ment & Enlistment of Negroes into the U S service Especially free negroes. . . . If true," Boyle asserted, "Ky will never see another day of peace."99 On the same day, Boyle also wrote to Col. James B. Fry, Provost-Marshal-General, to protest "the enrollment of free negroes for military service in Kentucky." Mter all, he estimated fewer than 700 men would be gained for the army, but the state would be "revolutionized" and "infinite and inconceivable harm" would be done. "I am sure this is all wrong," Boyle wrote, "and there is not an honest, loyal man in the State in favor of it, and it will meet with decided opposition. For the peace and quiet of the country I beg you will change your order on the subject."100 Meanwhile, Burnside wired President Lincoln himself: "I am satisfied from my knowledge of Kentucky that it would be very unwise to enroll the free negroes of this State. It would not add materially to our strength, and I assure you it would cause much trouble. I sincerely hope this embarrassment to the interest of the public service will not be placed in our way." Boyle also cabled Lincoln. A reply from James Fry explained that the enrollment of free blacks was "simply taking the census of persons between the ages of twenty and forty-five." The government was merely seeking information. Then, turning to satire, Fry added: "I don't see why infinite and inconceivable harm ... should be done by my ascertaining and informing the Government how many free negroes there are between those ages in the different States, and their names, and I have a better opinion of Kentucky than to think she would be revolutionized if such information is sought for by me as it has been by the Census Bureau without revolution ... and to use your language, I do not see how any honest, loyal man in the State can oppose it." In his cable, Lincoln wrote soothingly, "There is nothing going on in Kentucky on the subject of which you telegraph except an enrollment." Be- fore receiving Lincoln's reassuring telegram, Burnside composed another, longer letter of protest, reiterating that the military draft in Kentucky should be from white people only-and the drafting of free blacks and slaves especially should be for labor only. "I was just about issuing an order drafting all the free able-bodied negroes in the State for labor on a military road ... Kentucky is in good order now."101 Then the Lincoln telegram was issued again verbatim, and the matter ended. For the moment.	Charles Granade Colyer

McDaniel (90 OH D) McKee Review to day of the 1st Brigade 2nd Division by Generals Palmer and Cruft...General Palmer and Staff, with 60 of the 1st Tenn Cavalery [sic] [the 5th Middle Tenn Cavalry] Captured 18 Rebels Prowling Round our Lines Cutter On this morning, as General Palmer and Staff were out, with some of the First Tennessee Cavalry [5th Middle TN], on a reconnaissance, when about five miles from camp they were suddenly confronted by a large body of Rebel cavalry, who at once opened fire on them. General Palmer gave the command for his cavalry to charge, at which order the brave Tennesseans were not slow in obeying. With drawn sabres they rushed on the Rebels, which caused them to give way, when they broke and fled in confusion. The result was the capture of about twenty prisoners, the same number of horses, and a few muskets. Two captains were among the prisoners. One or two of the enemy were killed, and several wounded. Two or three slightly wounded on our side. The prisoners were soon after brought into camp. Brigade inspection in the afternoon. Seventeen weeks in camp at Cripple Creek. I believe there is an official report I could find if I dig a little. I found a couple of accounts on the Skirmish on the Bradyville Pike of May 17 1863, which I believe to be the one in which your Charles Colyer was captured. The first is by a man who served in a Union cavalry unit organized in the state of Alabama. (!) It was on detached service with a TN Union Cavalry unit that was stationed at Cripple Creek. (Hornbeck is the cavalryman who sent an account of the skirmish back home to his kin in Perryville, OH) http://www.1stalabamacavalryusv.com/Fights/hornbeck1.aspx The second is from an official report by Gen Palmer who had just moved with his troops to the camp at Cripple Creek. MAY 17, 1863.- Skirmish on Bradyville Pike, Tenn. Report of Major General John M. Palmer, U. S. Army. HDQRS. SECOND DIVISION, TWENTY-FIRST ARMY CORPS, Cripple Creek, Tenn., may 17, 1863. CAPTAIN: For several days parties of rebels have come out on the Bradyville road from Dug Hollow, and then come up to Youry's, 3 1/2 miles from camp, and have told the people they were very anxious to see the Yanks at Cripple Creek. I determined several days ago to give them a dash as soon as I was ready. On yesterday I rode out with my escort to Youry's. I had 20 men. This morning, well satisfied that "the loyal citizens" had given them information of movements, and that they would be watching for me, I started at 7 o'clock with two companies of Tennessee cavalry, 60 men, my escort, 25 men, and 6 volunteers from Cruft's officers,, and rode out on the same road. When I got to Youry's, I was told that 80 of the Third Georgia Cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel [R.] Thompson, had been there an hour before. I pushed on, taking the left-hand road, with the hope of reaching the Bradyville pike between them and their camp. We reached the pike, turned toward Murfreesborough, and had not proceeded more than a quarter of a mile when we perceived them in a lane, apparently uncertain whether we were coming or not. We did not wait to fire, but went at them at full speed. We came on them under a quick fire, but they broke when we got within 100 yards. We pursued them a mile, and have 18 prisoners. I do not know how many were killed or wounded. The enemy, after they reached the woods, rallied, and fought well, but they had no sabers, and only inflicted a few slight wounds. Five is the whole number wounded on our side. We had 2 or 3 horses ruined, but we took a number. I inclose a list of prisoners. We had Lieutenant-Colonel Thompson at one time, but he escaped. Fifteen prisoners are sent forward; 3 are wounded, amongst whom is Captain Miller [R. M. Willis], Company C, Third Georgia. All quiet in front. Very respectfully, J. M. PALMER, Major-General, Commanding.	Charles Granade Colyer
212	Richard Curtis note: examination of an engraved pocket watch believed to have belonged to Charles Granade Colyer reveals that the initials engraved include four (4) letters that appear to be CjgC. Based on research on this site, it is suggested that perhaps the Granade name came from a famed 1800 era methodist evangilist named John Granade who operated in the home area of Charles Granade Colyer's father, John. Notice that the civil war records of Charles Granade Colyer sometimes shows him as "CJ Colyer" and sometimes as "CG Colyer". Based on the watch engraving evidence etc...it is suggested that Charles's full name was "Charles John Granade Colyer". (from Dean Hunter gedcom files) CHARLES GRANADE COLYER AND LOUISA JANE MEECE COLYER CHARLES GRANADE COLYER was born August 8, 1832, in Pulaski County, Kentucky, the son of JOHN COLYER and LYDIA PURVIS. He grew up on his father's farm on Pitman Creek in eastern Pulaski County. C. G. COLYER married LOUISA JANE MEECE, July 14, 1861, in Pulaski County, Kentucky. LOUISA JANE MEECE, was born August 21, 1842, in Pulaski County, Kentucky, daughter of EPHRIAM MEECE and MATILDA RICHARDSON MEECE. Sam Colyer, son of C. G. COLYER, stated that his father enlisted in the Confederate Army, when he heard that he was to be drafted into the Union Army within a few days. Historically, after Ky was won by Union army at Battle of Perryville Ky in October 1862, Gen. Burnside was sent to Ky by Lincoln by spring of 1863 and camp Nelson was established in Jessamine County for recruitment and supplies. See separate note below re: Kentucky draft for Union Army history. Pension Records1 The records show that C. G. COLYER, private, Company C, 6th Kentucky Cavalry, Confederate States Army1 enlisted January 24, 1863; as C. J.

Company participated in action at Murfreesboro, Tenn. Dec. 31, 1862. Note--The "Old Roster" 6th Kentucky Cavalry calls this Company "C" and rolls on file are marked Company "A". This company was mustered into service as Company "C" of 6th KY. Cavalry and was always recognized and known as such in regimental organization. In the first days of March 1863, General Buford was assigned to the Mississippi Dept. and the 6th Regiment Ky. Cavalry and the 5th Reg. Ky. Cavalry were then transferred to the command of Brigadier General John H. Morgan, with which it continued in service until nearly the whole regiment was captured during the last days of Morgan's Ohio raid." Sam Colyer, further stated, that CHARLES GRANADE COLYER was in the battle of Chickamauga near Chattanooga, Tenn. He was in the Confederate Cavalry and every fourth man was to be a horse holder during the battle. Both C. G. COLYER and Morgan Colyer were fourth when they were numbered and were assigned to hold horses during the battle. C. G. COLYER placed his horses between him and the battle and Morgan, his brother, laid down face toward the battle. As the bullets and shells came around them, Morgan said "Oh Lord, Oh Lord". C.G. said "are you hit?". Morgan said "No, just scared." At Chickamauga the cavalry was told to hold the Union Army while the Confederate Army retreated across the river. They held long enough for the army to cross and then the General said, "every man for himself." Charles G. was going along the river when two Union soldiers saw him and chased him. They apparently were out of ammunition or their guns weren't loaded since they didn't fire. After a couple of miles Charles G. got to a large tree across the trail and decided to try to have his horse jump the tree. The horse jumped it, but the Union soldiers didn't jump it and Charles G. got away and was able to cross the river. Chickamauga in northwestern Georgia, where Union and Confederate armies fought for two bloody days, Sept. 19 and 20, 1863. The Confederates won, but both sides paid a huge price. Chickamauga caused more casualties than any other Civil War battle except Gettysburg. He had enlisted for a specific time and after the time expired and near the end of the was and it was known the cause was lost, he went to headquarters and was given an honorable discharge. CHARLES GRANADE COLYER could not return home since there were so many Yankee supporters who would shoot returning "Rebs". He stayed in Nashville about two years and ran a hotel. A neighbor named Gilmore, harassed his wife, mother and his small son, because C. G. had been in the Confederate Army. Gilmore killed their chickens and the pets and told them that C. G. had been killed. LOUISA JANE, his wife, told hem she did not believe it. Finally Charles G. returned home and vowed to kill Gilmore. C. G. was splitting wood when he first saw Gilmore coming across the field. He ran for his gun and Gilmore saw him and was gone when he returned. It was some time before Gilmore returned to the neighborhood and the feeling had subsided by then. Gilmores family had been in the Union forces. CHARLES GRANADE COLYER had evening prayers and the entire family would come in and kneel for prayers. CHARLES GRANADE and his wife LOUISA JANE had eleven children. All taught school at some time after they grew up. He was a school trustee. The 1870 and 1880 Pulaski County Census show CHARLES G. COLYER listed as a farmer, born in Kentucky and his parents born in Tennessee, and LOUISA JANE COLYER as his wife, born in Kentucky and her parents both born in Kentucky. CHARLES G. COLYER died at his home on Pitman Creek April 11, 1910 and his wife LOUISA JANE COLYER died January 13, 1931, in Pulaski County, Kentucky. She had received a Confederate Widows pension for his service. Scare Moser and Ray Colyer, both grandchildren, recall LOUISA JANE, as a small lady, about 5'1 tall, slender, with coal black hair throughout her life. Obituary of CHARLES GRANAID COLYER, printed in the Somerset, Kentucky newspaper in April, 1910 CHARLES GRANAID COLYER, who resided about three miles south-east of town, died last Monday, after several months of feeble health due to age and a general wearing out of the vital organs. His father was JOHN COLYER, who lived and reared a large family of 19 sons and daughters, and died on the old homestead now known as the Warren farm at the bridge of Pitman creek and the Sublimity road, about six and one half miles from this town, and his mother was LYDIA Purvis, who was the old gentlemen's second wife and the mother of fourteen of his children and his first wife was a Miss Sinclair, who was the mother of five of the older children. I first became intimately acquainted with the family of JOHN COLYER Sr. in 1856, when my father removed to the farm adjoining theirs on the opposite side of Pitman creek, now the Allen farm, and from the first moment was convinced that there never was a more gallant, neighborly or hospitable family in the world. To the young man's mind their home was a model place to get good treatment and have a joyous Happy time. It was better than a circus to be with those old big boys at the corn huskings or hoeing; threshings or stacking; the log cutting or rollings, and to have to do hard and heavy work, when four or five of them were on hand and helping at the labor, it was the best kind of entertainment, and we want to tell you that no laddie was ever imposed upon in that good company, for they stood over those in need of a defender on every occasion. I knew nearly all of the family well but ten of the younger ones were best known to me and GRANAID was one of them. All of the Colyers differed from me in religious name and also in political as well, but they were always my friends, even in old war times when we were in battle array for the right, each as we saw it and in our personal associations none of us ever dared to attempt to muzzle the other or make one too dumb to speak his honest sentiment. GRANAID COLYER was the last one of that large family to pass from the earth to the Great Beyond and my faith in God's promises and my knowledge of his manner of life leads me to say to his good wife and other loved ones that it is all well with him for he surely has the righteous man's reward. His brother, J. Perry Colyer, died only a few months ago. The first set of children of John Colyer's were Buford, John, Alex, William and Mrs. Dickie Smith. His full brothers and sisters were Lindsey, Cy, Jehu, Sinclair, Martin, Wesley, Perry, GRANAID, Samuel, Nathaniel, and Mrs. Harriet Black, Mrs. Menerva Richardson, Mrs. Lizzie Eastman, and one other. Their old father died over half a century ago and their mother over a third of a century, and this writer made obituary notices of most of them as they passed away a sad duty that we have performed faithfully. To his last afflicted wife and her noble children, we extend sincerest condolences, as their long-time friend. 1 Confederate Pension Records, #1585 to 1652; Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort, Kentucky. 2 Confederate Records, The National Archives, Washington,D.C. Kentucky Adjutant General's Report, Confederate States Army, Sixth Regiment Cavalry. Interview with Ellen Colyer: The Colyer family lived on a farm on Pitman Creek about four miles east of Somerset. She told of she and all of her sisters knitting all of their stockings when they were young. Near their home was a spring in a rock outcropping that formed a small depression or cave that was cool and not only furnished water but also was used to store and keep food cool. The house was constructed of heavy logs and it was still standing, but unoccupied in 1967. Their home had a front room and behind this room was a dining room and then a living room with a large fireplace. Beside the front room was a bedroom and upstairs over the front room was another bedroom. The kitchen was in a separate structure next to the dining room. The kitchen and the house were seperated by a space about five feet wide often called a "dog trot" in that area. This space between the house and the kitchen was common in early farm houses as it would help keep the house cool in the summer and could be helpful in case of fire. There was a barn that was behind the house. Ellen went to Lawrenceberg College near Corbin, Kentucky and taught school for several years before she was married and she boarded with the grandparents of John Sherman Cooper, who was later the United States Senator form Kentucky. She taught grades 1-5 for a year after she was married. She taught in the school district where C. W. SEARS lived. All of her adult brothers and sisters taught school at one time and several made their career in education. BERT and ELLEN had three children: OLLIE B. born August 11. 1904 in Pulaski County, Kentucky, Raymond born July 12 in Pulaski County and died March 9, 1908 and is buried at Souls Chapel Cemetery east of Somerset in Pulaski County. and Naomi Elizabeth, born February 14, 1915 in Ft. Worth. Tarrent County. Texas. ELLEN CQLYER SEARS' sister Luvenia and her husband Hansford Wilder moved to Fort Worth, Texas and opened a grocery store. In early 1906 they sent for ELLEN' S brother Sam Colyer to come to Fort Worth to work with them at the grocery store. The Wilder's sold the store to Sam Colyer and moved to California. A week after their son Raymond died in Kentucky BERT and ELLEN SEARS and their daughter OLLIE moved to Texas and BERT SEARS worked in the store for Sam Colyer. After a year or two BERT SEARS bought a half interest in the store. In 1915 Sam Colyer's mother Louisa Jane Colyer wanted him to return to Kentucky. Sam Colyer sold the store to BERT SEARS and moved back to Kentucky. When the C. W. SEARS family first moved to Fort Worth, Texas they lived in a house in the 2000 block of Clinton Street, then they moved to 2122 N Houston Street, and then to 318 N. W. 22nd Street. This last house was originally one story and later had a second story added to it. This house was on the same lot as the store and also had a three car garage next to the alley. BERT and ELLEN Sears lived in this home for the rest of their life. The store located on the corner of 22nd and Clinton Streets was first of frame construction and was later replaced with a red brick store. Mr. SEARS was in the grocery business 33 years. He_was a strong family man, attended church regularly throughout his life, he was treasurer of his church, and the Sears'family often has ministers stay at their home while they were in Fort Worth. He enjoyed hunting squirrel with his single shot 410 shotgun and he was known for the excellent barbecue that he made daily at his grocery store. Around his home he had many varieties of plants and flowers that he enjoyed. There were pecan trees, pear trees, a peach tree, a fig tree, canna plants beside the store, and flowering shrubs and plants decorated the property. ELLEN SEARS was also very active in their church. Attending regularly Sunday school. Sunday worship services, Sunday evening services. and Wednesday evening prayer services. She was in the church choir and made the communion bread that was used in communion services at their church for years. MRS. SEARs was an excellent cook and made homemade bread, biscuits, fruitcakes, pies, and preserved or canned many things such as chow-chow, relish, pickled peaches, and jellies. Their home was warm and friendly and a gathering place for their children, grand children and friends. They were good parents, neighbors and friends to have. C. W. SEARS died October 12, 1945 in Fort Worth, Texas. ELLEN SEARS died at her home July 23, 1957 and is buried next to her husband at Garden of Memories Cemetery, Fort Worth, Texas The following items are taken from The Somerset Journal of October, 1902: Representatives from Crescent Lodge No. 60, Knights of Pythias, at the Grand Lodge in session in Louisville this week are J.F.

221	Clyde was working in Indianapolis, In. because of a transfer and commuting home to Dayton, Oh. each weekend. He fell asleep at the wheel and struck the rear end of a wrecker that had just pulled a semi out of a ditch. It was travelling about 35 MPH, he was travelling at 70 MPH, but was seen slumped over the steering wheel as someone passed him just before he crashed. He died an hour later at the Straughn, In. hospital. One of the last thing he did was purchase an "Indy 500" tee shirt for his only grandson, Dan Perkins. It was on the seat beside him when he was found. Mildred and Clyde are third cousins thought they said they didn't know it when they married. They had a rather rough beginning. They divorced when Jean was only a baby and were separated for almost a year. They remarried in 1939 and always used their first anniversary date because of Jean's birthday.	Clyde Estel Colyer

228	Birth date discrpancy: 1930 census shows him being 64, therefore born in 1865-66. However, Sarah, sister to Cyrenius is shows in family bible of Samuel Colyer as being born August 1865. Furthermore, Samuel Colyer (Cyrenius brother) shows Cyrenius being born 12/10/1861. Is a family secret in there somewhere ? Since Cyrenius father and mother were married in July 1861, was mother pregnant when they married.....shotgun wedding ? Family legend was that Louisa, visited Granade in Nashville after the civil war, where it is said he stayed a couple years after war due to misgivings of neighbors over civil war. Louisa, mother to Cyrenius would have had to visit Nashville in late 1864 for sister Sarah to have been born in August 1865.	Cyrenius E. Colyer
