Christopher Columbus Graham bio from Kentucky Secretary of State
Christopher Columbus Graham bio from Kentucky Secretary of State
His resort at current day Bee Rock called Sublimity Springs is the namesake of Sublimity Rd, now known as Hwy 192. Not mentioned in article is Mr. Graham's reported presence at the wedding in Harrodsburg of the parents of Abraham Lincoln. He is only relevant to the Colyer's as reference to Sublimity Rd in the obituary of Charles Granade Colyer.

Charles Granade Colyer Obit Large Republican paper
Charles Granade Colyer Obit Large Republican paper
here is an enlarged JPG format of just the Obit. The Republican newspaper obit was written by "W.B.H" My guess is that this was James William "Bucky" Hargis, who was born 1836 and a documented Union soldier in the civil war. He and his family may have lived in Allen Farm as renters when a child. Or, the Hargis family may have owned the Allen farm before the Allens bought first per deed search in 1853. Current property records shows the Hargis family still own 175 acres across Pitman Creek at the back of the old Colyer Farm on Pitman Creek. Later we find he and his wife on 1910 census in Jugornot area of eastern Pulaski County. All his family is buried at White Lily cemetery a couple miles past the old John Colyer Farm and Clay Hill cemetery where Granade is buried. As an aside, the reader will note that the old John Colyer farm mentioned was told as being on Sublimitty Rd. This was named for the resort built at current day Bee Rock on hwy 192. The Sublimity resort was built in about 1855 by an extraordinary man named Christoper Columbus Graham. Much is written about his exploits and a Kentucky Secretary of State write up is listed below. Documents under John Colyer show that Christopher Columbus Graham sold the resort about 1858 when he moved to Crab Orchard KY.

Kentucky geologic map: John Colyer possible slave quarters
Kentucky geologic map: John Colyer possible slave quarters
an apparent merger of oldest and newer Ky geologic maps that shows buildings that once stood on what was the old John Colyer farm at Ruth Ky. This is the only map found that shows an apparent house that stood back in the field near barn. A long time resident who as a boy worked on the farm in 1970 or so, said there use to be a house back in the field. This is only map found that shows location. Could have been once the slave quarters ?
