Richard Colley first appears as a head of household in the 1820 "SOME DESCENDANTS OF JOHN COUNTS OF GLADE HOLLOW" By: Sutherland Richard served with Capt George Kindrick's Infantry Co., 72nd. Reg.. Estate recorded Russell County, Virginia Will Book 7, p 187-8,214. 10 Dec 1859; Russell County, Virginia; Inventory of Richard Colley's Prior to marriage, Dick Colley was the caretaker of a large boundary of mountain land belonging to Andrew Hebern at Sandlick, to which they moved and made their home. Here in the midst of the Sandy Basin wilderness they became the first permanent settlers in what is now Dickenson Co. Dick literally blazed a trail from the Clinch Settlements across Sandy Ridge and through a virgin wilderness fifty miles to the very border of Kentucky, and made his indelible mark as a community builder during its catalysmic change from a wilderness to a farming community. He was the moving force that secured the first public road to Sandlick. He owned and operated the first water mill in that section. In 1852, he was appointed one of the commissioners to divide Russell County into eight voting districts, and his home was established as one of the two voting places in the 4th (Sandlick) district. He did not perfect title to any land, but his sons owned many thousand acres in this section which he settled and helped to improve. In 1936, Hawk Fuller [E548], remembered his grandfather, "Fightin' Dick", as "medium sized, not large, but big square shoulders, bald-headed and smooth shaven." In a biography (Some Sandy Basin Characters - 1962) EJS stated: "Dick Colley was strong of limb, heart and temper. It took all that to conquer the wilderness. No one ever questioned his bravery, nor did anyone who ever felt the wallop of his bruising fist soon forget its crushing power. His hot temper, often unleashed and terrible, swung him from one personal encounter into another with his neighbors ... He was often wobbly with hard liquor, his heart and strength carried him through ... It seemed that he had more fights with John Fuller than any other man ... One day they met in the woods, and as usual got into a quarrel. John managed to get the first blow which knocked Dick almost unconscious. While Dick lay on the ground, John danced around him singing ... 'Poor old Dick he died of late; By the time John had finished his song Dick felt he could handle him, He became a famous hunter and many thrilling tales about his hunting prowess are still recalled - the most famous being the time he killed a bear with his bare hands. He was a member of Capt. George Kendrick's Company of Infantry, 72nd Reg, in Russell Co., and was called into active service on Feb 4 1815, but the war of 1812 soon ended and he saw no further active service. He died while visiting his son Joshua on Grassy Creek and is buried there in the Mullins Graveyard. Christinia preceded her husband in death and is buried in the Colley Graveyard at Sandlick, just opposite the mouth of Lick Creek. - Some Descendants of John Counts of Glade Hollow by Elihu Jasper Sutherland Children were: James COLLEY, Mary Anne "Pop" COLLEY, Joshua "Josh" COLLEY, John COLLEY, Matilda COLLEY, Sarah "Sap" COLLEY, Margaret Jane "Pud" COLLEY.
