• Documents		1875 Pulaski County Kentucky property tax: Willaim Colyer(Collier) Although listed here as being connected to William, the son of John Colyer born 1781, it is not believed in 2026 to be associated with this William, since this William according to John Colyer estate court records was living in Kansas City Missouri by 1853. It is not determined yet which William Colyer this property tax record relates to, although it showed it belonging to a William "A" Colyer in the city limits of Somerset.
  		DNA report comparing Harold Colyer and John Collyer Shows proof of connection of descendants of John Colyer born 1781. Descendants of William Colyer born 1807 and James Alexander Colyer born 1809.
  		DNA test comparison Curtis Colyer vs. John Collyer Shows proof of connection via John Colyer born 1781. Curtis Colyer descended from John Colyer Jr. born 1815 and John Collyer was descended from William Colyer born 1807.
  		1856 Stephen Colyer estate circuit court case answer by William Colyer, out of state brother.
  		1853 Pulaski deed: William Colyer, son of John Colyer 1781, passes his inheritance to attorney Mathews This so Mathews can deal with out of State William's inheritance for him. William Colyer has moved to north of Kansas City Missouri. In a later deed, this is sold by Mathews to Cyrenius Wait.
