Seeking Information/ancestry/descendants on the following individuals. I do NOT know whether the individuals are identical or related at all. My interest is in determining whether any of the following Census extracts can be related to the Collier/Collyer family of Somerset County, New Jersey, specifically Lt. Thomas Collyer (ca. 1744, NJ - Aug. 24, 1834, prob. Butler County, Ohio. Lt. Collyer was in Bernards Twp, Somerset County, then Hardiston, Sussex County, NJ until sometime after June 1793. He was in Kentucky ca. 1817, then in Butler County by ca. 1832, but I do not know where he was located in the interim years.
Would appreciate any information or correspondence on the following:
1) Thomas Collyer, Derry, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania in the 1800 Census (page 1207). His family consisted of 1 male (10-16), 1 male (16-26), 1 male (over 45), 1 female (16-26), and 1 female (over 45). I do not see Thomas in this area in the 1790 Census, and I do not believe he appears there in 1810-1820. Some known Bernards Township residents moved to this area of western PA by 1800.
2) Thomas Collier, Nelson County, Kentucky in the 1810 Census (page 16). I have only seen the index to this Census. The family consisted of 1 male (16-26), 1 male (over 45), and 5 females (one in each of the age categories).
3) Thomas and Lewis Collier, Shelby County, Kentucky - no township listing - 1820 Census. The Census index lists both men on page 130, but Thomas is actually seen on the original page numbered 158 (renumbered "129 A" in handwriting), while Lewis is seen on original page 164 (renumbered "132 A'). The microfilm images of these pages are of poor quality, but I believe the listing for Thomas is 2 males (16-26), NO older males (! !), 1 female (26-45), and 1 female (over 45). The listing for Lewis Collier appears to be 2 males (under 10), 1 male (26-45), 2 females (under 10), and 1 female (26-45).
I suspect that one of the younger males in either Thomas or Lewis's households in 1820 was the Lewis "Collyer" who was later in Warren County, Indiana. In the 1850 Census of Warren Township he and his family are listed, with Lewis giving his year of birth as 1806, location Kentucky. In Lewis's household in the 1860 Census of Warren Township his age is given as 53 (birth ca. 1807), location Kentucky. Also in his household in 1860 was a Thomas Collyer, aged 74, who had been born in New Jersey. The Lewis "Collier" in the 1820 Kentucky listing may be the individual who married Susannah Tichannon in Shelby County, KY Oct. 13, 1810.
