Narrative

Some of you write me very angry that I don't have the correct information. I apologize, every thing in this file has not been verified, I've been sick and dont have the time to verify every thing so be sure you verify it and not take it for the gospel, but rather as a starting point. Also alot of my dates are about not exact I do not edit files that are sent to me but add them as they are I have to assume that the person who sent them has done his homework. I only try to verify my direct line. This file is a large one with extended family and comes from many sources including the internet I do my best to correct wrong infomation. If you want me to make changes send me proof and I will but please dont write and say its wrong if you have nothing you can prove your version with. My hope is that this file will help you and that some day all the information will be correct. Thank all who have added to this file. Everything I have is here in this file. Dee

        Will of Lydia Purvis Colyer reads:

        As life is uncertain and death is certain, I deem it prudent wilst in the enjoyment of sound mind and discretion to dispose of my worldly effects and wish to do so in the following manner to wit: I sold to Manerva Richardson several years ago a (pop?) that I never bequeath to her my (sadale?) and a white counterpaine. I give to Harriet Black for services rendered one bed quilt, to Martin Colyer my beds and their clothing and my furniture I will sold to the highest bidder. I wish after my debts are collected, my burial expenses and other debts paid, the remainder be equally divided between my children, Manerva Richardson, excepted as I have given her all I wish her to have. I wish my son, C. W. Colyer to act as executor to this my last will and testament and to afixed my name and seal this 8 day of April, 1874. Done at C. G. Colyer's in Pulaski, State of Ky.

        Signed: Lydia Colyer
