	John Adam Granade from book Holston Methodism Likely namesake of Charles GRANADE Colyer: see book reference where John Granade preaches in Jonesboro TN and also where children of Governor Sevier are converted under his preaching......both areas very near Colyar home on Nolichucky River at time John Colyer lived there. John Colyer would have been about 20 years old when John Adam Granade preaching in nearby.	Charles Granade Colyer	23 Aug 2010
	History of Methodism in Tennessee 1804 Large 15meg pdf. This history written in late 1800's of the Methodist Church in Tennessee in the 1780-1804 era give an indication of perhaps the origin of the middle name, Granade, in Charles Granade Colyer. John Colyer his father was buried at methodist chapel in Somerset KY and is believed by other books to have entertained Methodist circuit riding preachers in his home. John Colyer was from on the Nolichucky River in East TN near Jonesboro TN in the Holston area of east TN and Southwest VA. This book has an account of preacher named John Adam Granade. He preached in Holston district. Francis Asbury ordained Mr Granade, the "wild man" to preach as circuit rider. Book says Mr Granade was only one of that name in the continent. Do a search of this book on Granade and find story. Also accounts of the appalachian revival of 1800.	Charles Granade Colyer	21 Aug 2010

	1830 Pulaski County KY census extract Shows John Collier. The pulaski county census only shows 2 colliers there in 1830, John and Charles. John had large household. See book on site of circuit rider methodist preacher Landrum, who says stayed at Collier's after preaching at William Sears, who lived near the Hails (see 1830 sears census) , my guess across cumberland river from John Collier	John Colyer	21 Aug 2010
	John Colyer 1830 Pulaski County census I had searched for gravesite of William Colyar and his wife, Nancy Ann in east Tennessee. It is reported that he died in 1819. However, a power of attorney made by Alexander Colyar of Winchester TN (Father of Arthur St. Claire Colyer) appointing his son, George Thompson Colyer, as power of attorney recorded in Pulaski County Ky, shows that William and his wife Nancy lived in Pulaski County KY at the time of their death The power of attorney in 1839 (year of Nancy Agnes Ann’s death) was to collect Alexander’s share of estate. Since only son I know of in Pulaski County Ky is John Colyer, I suppose that William and Nancy, must have moved to live with John Colyer of Pulaski County Ky so John could care for them in their elder years. This is supported by the 1830 U.S. Census that shows a female age 60-70 years old living with John. John’s mother Agnes Nancy Ann St. Clair Colyar would have been 70 years old in 1830. His father, William, died in 1819 but his mother did not die until 1839. The elderly lady living in the household would not be John mother-in-law, Mrs. Purvis, as both of John’s parents-in-law were living at the time with Old Mr. Purvis not dying until 1840 or so and Old Mrs. Purvis not until 1852. This indicates that perhaps John Colyer was the closest son capable of financially being able to care for his parents in later years. The power of attorney indicates that both William and Nancy Colyar died in Pulaski County KY. My guess is that they may be buried in some of the unmarked graves in the Jugornot region of Pulaski County as this is where John Colyer had property at Buck Creek on the Cumberland River before moving to the Pittman Creek property in Ruth Kentucky area in 1842.
