Documents		1869 Kentucky Court Appeals case land dispute Involves Cyrenius Waite, Lindsey Colyer, Samuel Black. 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. This appears to be the 200 acre of coal lands John Colyer Sr. had on Cumberland River at Buck Creek. This shows both Samuel Black and Lindsey Colyer had sold their 1/17th undivided interest in the apparent coal lands to Darlin and Clark. See 1865 deed under John Colyer, where heirs all sell their 1/17th interest in farm at Pitman Creek to Andrew Warren. Cyrenius Waite, appears to have again intervened in Colyer land as he did for Bluford Colyer...see deeds under Bluford Colyer. See 1851 tax records under John Colyer b.1781 where shows land on cumberland river and deed from Purvis in 1851 for 50 acres Buck Creek.
		1859 Stephen Colyer estate assets sale purchasers are Lindsey Colyer, Martin Colyer and Samuel Black
		1860 John Colyer Jr. land and inherited land interests sold Purchasers Cornelius Doolin, who I suspect got the coal lands, possibly those inherited from John Colyer Sr, and Lindsey Colyer and Samuel Black also listed. Lindsey and Samuel likely only purchased the inherited interest from John Colyer Sr in the Ruth Ky farm by Lindsey and Samuel Black purchased the Blaze Valley farm interest he lived on.
		1866 Harriet Colyer Black purchase deed 108 acres Blaze Valley from estate of her father, John Colyer Deed says that Cyrenius Wait had held up estate settlement, and heirs of John Colyer file lawsuit against Cyrenius and win, so the court orders sale of land and slaves of John Colyer in March 1859. At the court sale, Harriet Black, purchases 108 acres for $706. Son of John Colyer..Stephen Colyer deceased 1855 and his estate settlment shows John Colyer at death owned 200 acre homeplace on Pitman creek, and 108 acre on Pitman creek waters and 250 acre coal lands. This deed in Blaze Valley was evidently the 108 acres on pitman creek waters that was not the homeplace.
		1870 census: Lydia Colyer Living with daughter, Harriet Black and husband Samuel on Grundy Rd area

Notes

Vance had been researching some slave cabin remains on property in Blaze Valley.
