![]() | 1834 ancient map Cumberland River You must download and install the special Deju browser plug in from here to read this . The Wait-Bluford Colyer deed references land near Beaver Creek. From looking at ancient map of 1834 (djvu format) , it appears that current day Buck Creek used to be called Beaver Creek. Renaming it to Buck Creek appears to have possibly cleared confusion resulting from many nearby creeks emptying into Cumberland River being designated at Beaver Creek as can be seen from the 1834 map referenced above. This indicates that the John Colyer family while living in the Jugornot area of Pulaski County had family friend named Cyrenius Waite that may be reason a child named after him.) See Cyreinus Waite page where History of Pulaski County Book shows Cyrenius Waite owned coal mines at mouth of Buck Creek on Cumberland River. Status: Located | |

![]() | 1864 Kentucky State Senate vote by Cyrenius Waite Soldier Voting Ironic bill vote in February 1864 by Cyrenius Waite to allow Union Soldiers from Kentucky to vote for 1864 Presidential election, where nationwide this was thought to highly favor Lincoln for re-election in midst of Civil War. Cyrenius Waite being largest slave holder in Pulaski County KY. Kentucky was only state south of Mason-Dixon line to allow this and yet its majority voted in election against Lincoln as did its Union soldiers by 70%. Then again, KY may have been about only state south of Mason Dixon Line to be permitted to vote in this war time election. | |
![]() | 1850 Kentucky Legislative Act approving Turnpike company for road from Somerset to Waitesboro Cyrenius Waite This may be predecessor to what became current day hwy 27 in Somerset connecting to Somerset to Burnside area. Note also another large slave holder and man of Revelutionary War descent, Mr. Goggins in turnpike company. Mr. Goggins family had originally also lived near Waitesboro at what became the Owens-Vaughan house on old Monticello pike and is reported to contain a lost Goggins family cemetery thereon. | |
![]() | 1869 Kentucky Court Appeals case land dispute Involves Cyrenius Waite, Lindsey Colyer, Samuel Black. Note the economic devastation on land values during Civil War in Pulaski County. Land purchased for $1 per acre in 1857, sold at 20 cents an acre at auction in 1869. This appears to be property inherited from John Colyer, the father of Lindsey Colyer and Samuel Black's wife, Harriett (based on 1/17th undivided interests) At some point Cyrenius Waite has come to lay claim to the sold 1/17th interests. See 1865 deed under John Colyer, where heirs all sell their 1/17th interest in farm at Pitman Creek to Andrew Warren. Colyer family friend, Cyrenius Waite, appears to have again intervened in Colyer land as he did for Bluford Colyer...see deeds under Bluford Colyer. | |

![]() | William Wait diary 1818 news article Upon arrival in Somerset, he describes it as a row of cabins on road at Pitman Creek. This leads me to believe he came via Salt Works Road (now Hwy 192) from London KY area to intersection at Pitman Creek. In old times, the road turned there Whitley Road (current Clay Hill Rd) to head over to what is now Rush Branch Rd (formerly Whitley Rd) where Cyrenius Wait was living next to the Colyers according to deeds on this site. |
