Trying to connect several Coulter families that resided in Lancaster, York and Adams Co's., PA. Hugh, Nathaniel,and Archibald Coulter families during 1700-1800 era. Archibald was my fourth ggrandfather.

helo my name is marty we come across a old photo of a charles s coulter born oct 16 1871 died dec.22 1908 died at 38. i live in tn.do you know anything about this man.thanks for any info you can email me

My James Coulter came to the US about 1840 [per census] and was married to a Julia. That's all I know about him. In 1863 his son Patrick [born about 1830 in Ireland enlisted in the Union army on Sept 4, 1863 at Cairo, Illinois.

After his discharge in Alabama in April 1866, Patrick showed up in PA in 1866, then married Elizabeth Wert in 1867 in Tremont, Schuylkill Co, PA. They apparently stayed there until Aug 23, 1871 when their son James was born. Sometime after that they moved on to Shamokin Co. [Coal Twnshp in 1880 census] when son John Coulter [my ggpa] was born on Jan. 19, 1875. Between June 1884 and Jan 1887 they moved to Gloucester City, NJ [across river from Philly] when son William was born.

I have no info about siblings of James or Patrick. It's doubtful that Charles [not possible to have been born anytime else in 1871] could have been a twin of James because church records list James' baptism, Charles is not with the family in 1880 census, the 1900 census in NJ shows number of surviving children [all accounted for], and a 1904 CW pension document does not list him among the named surviving children.

What I can't rule out is that Charles could be a son of Patrick's brother. I have not found the immigration papers for James and Patrick nor an 1850 or 60 census record for them.

I hope this helps you in some way even if it's only ruling out Patrick as his father.

Our ancester, Wm. Wilson, born in Scotland, approx. 1780, married a woman in Lancaster, maiden name Coulter. Their son, Robert C., was born 1800. Has your family any connection to this information?
Thank you.

William Berry bought the land he now occupies, in 1857, but did not come here to live till 1872.

William Berry was born in Hampshire county, Virginia, October 18, 1819. He is the son of George and Sarah (Floyd) Berry. When three years old he removed with his parents, to Clinton county, Ohio. He remained there until 1851, when he removed to Butler county, Ohio. He was a stone mason by trade and always followed that occupation until he came to CASS COUNTY. He was married in Butler county, May 18, 1852, to Sarah Coulter, a native of that county, and daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Buchanan) Coulter, who died in Butler county.

Zeek. Mr. Berry moved to this county in 1872, and settled upon land which he had purchased in 1857. He now rents his farm which contains one hundred and sixty acres. He is politically a Democrat.

Found documentation for a grave site in Maxton, NC, Oak Grove Cemetary, for a Joshua Coulter. No dates, but says he belonged to Company H, 1st West Va. Calvary in the Civil War. I can email a copy of the document, which has a picture of his marker, if you like. Let me know.
