  		Bluford Colyer 1810 Pulaski County Prop tax records Shows that eldest son of John Colyer(born 1781) was named BLUFORD, not BUFORD. Wonder if this is another Bluford, since indications are that Bluford son of John was only born in 1807. Bluford son of John, had a son named Bluford Kirtley Colyer.....Ms. Bray in area in 2005 also knew of "Blufie" Colyer. Also shows Charles Colyer, brother to William Colyar, on Brush Creek. Also may show William Colyar at bottom.

• Notes

  According to Jugornot Hollow long time resident (family there for generations) Shirley Bray, June 2005, BK Colyer was known as Blufie Colyer. She said he is buried in abandoned cemetery off Ponderosa Drive which is right off highway 769 (Rush Branch Rd) in Pulaski county near Buck Creek Boat dock. I found his grave stone in this abandoned cemetery 06/24/05
