Lynn Watt...Were getting close but not quite a match. However, I am from
Sault Ste Mariee,
Michigan with relatives whom have married into the Black family and with relatives in both
Michigan Ontario. My entire family line has been located except for a John E. Coulter born 1868, Goderich,Ont who was last seen in the US 1880 Census living with family on their farm located 9 miles south of
Sault Ste Mariee, Mi. However, I have recently lucked into a real live cousin who is a railroad retiree who may be able to throw some light. Unfortunately he was away from home and his data base. He intends to send me the work that has been accomplished on his line when he returns home about mid Oct. So, very shortly I should have his data which should fill out the entire spectrum of my GGGrandfather's 5 sons who moved to Canada in 1838 from County
Cavan, Ireland. Your inquiry is of intrest to me because my GGGrandfather had 4 brothers living close togather in
Cavan who had moved away by the 1861 census. Their names were Thomas, John, James, William. We have assumed that they all moved to Canada and have now broadened our search to include these possible GG
Uncles. I have 2 Minnie Coulters that are associated with my Coulters and area. 1. Minnie
Coulter nee
McKay who married Robert
Coulter, divorced and married 3 more times (this was my inquiry that attracted your attention). Minnie
Coulter b. Manitoulin Island, Ontario who married
Findlay Rowat,b. 1887, Ontario, whoes sister Marie Rowat married my John David
Coulter whoes
Grandson Perry
Coulter is still living on their original homestead on St. Joseph, Island,Ontario. Hopefully, the contacts that I should come up with next week will clear this situation up. So until then, keep your shirt on and keep in contact.
Please use my email address for some unknown reason, I can't get into my Family Tree Program while tied up to the Family History.com message board. Which I find quite awkward.
