| Photos | Ruth Ky store about 1940 This photo of the Old Ruth Store was reprinted in the Somerset KY newspaper The Commonwealth Journal 11/2/13. According to Verda May Hines Hughes, the Zimmer store was located further out current day hwy 192 at the corner of current Stewart Rd |
| Documents | John Colyer homeplace deed The original John Colyer farm was located at what is currently highway 192 at Pittman creek. I traced the deed of the property in the Pulaski County courthouse to this deed (You must download and install the special Deju browser plug in from here to read this format in your browser) wherein it proves that the photographed property is in fact the home place of John Colyer Sr. John Colyer bought the majority if not all the property from a Langdon family by deed in 1842 and his heirs sell it to Andrew Warren in September 1865. Deed says that Andrew Warren lived there at the time. Further of note, Lindsey transfers several brothers interests he had bought out. The remaining brothers transfer their interest "That descends to them at the death of" their mother, Lydia...being a dower right.....so legally it does not seem Andrew Warren gets clear title until Lydia dies in 1874.

| 1884 deed from Andrew Warren to Henry Warren 75 acres Trace of John Colyer home place deed that was sold to Andrew Warren....this is Andrew Warren transferring part to son Henry. Another 1884 deed to son William H Warren, transfers another 56 acres. Have not identified yet where other acres went to total the 200 sold by John Colyer to Andrew Warren. One son of Andrew Warren , Mathew, I have not found any land to him yet. Mathew who was first Ruth Ky postmaster, did purchase some acres across street from heirs of Alexander Colyer by court ordered auction. Not that road is referred to Rockcastle Springs Rd. Based on obituary of Charles Grenade Colyer in Somerset Republican paper 1910, it was later referred to as Sublimity Springs Rd. Earliest records refer to it as Salt Works Rd. After 1910 it was known as Ruth Rd and lately as hwy 192. | ||
| 1873 Andrew Warren deed adds Waddle land Cave Spring to Colyer Farm purchased 1865. Deed description sounds like Andrew Warren added land further down Pitman creek that included the cave spring on current strawberry Rd totaling 175 acres to the John Colyer farm. Mathew Warren, his son had purchased some of the adjoining land that had been owned by Linsey R Colyer. Pulaski County Deeds 27-163 | ||

| 1860 census Andrew Warren From neighbors, it does not look to be on the Colyer farm at Ruth Ky. sometime shortly after, he evidently leases the farm and moves there since General Burnside map of 1864 shows him there before his purchase in 1865. | ||

| 1881 Pulaski County KY court: John Colyer heirs re property tax Here, apparently, Pulaski County must have assessed back property tax against the heirs of John Colyer concerning the 200 acre farm on Pitman Creek that was sold to Andrew Warren in 1865. It appears the assessment did not pro-rate the taxes in the year of sale, so recovery is awarded to heirs from purchaser Andrew Warren. Charles Granade Colyer took the lead in this case evidently. | ||
