I am looking for information on my Greatgrandmother Mary Elizabeth Coulter, born 8/8/1859. Her parents were Benjamin Peter Coulter and Mary Ann Brady. She was born in Covington County Mississippi. Mary Elizabeth Coulter married Marcus Lafayette Hemeter, they had my grandfather and Mary died at the age of ~37 and is buried in the Coulter-Baird Cemetery in Covington County Mississippi.

If anyone has information on this Coulter family, any help would be appreciated.

Do you know anything further on Mary Ann Brady was she possibly daughter of Robert Brady came to Miss. around 1820 on Lawrence Co. census.
Any help appreciated.

This is my family! I think I remember the Benjamin Coulter from some document or tree. But that is my fmaily. My great great great somthing grandfather was A.J. Coulter (Andrew Jackson Coulter). He had two wives, the first died while he was fighting the war (Mary, I think, or Elizabeth) and his second wife was my great great great grandmother Tabitha. The Covington County Coulters are definitely my Coulters. The plantation that was there belonged first to John Coulter, the father of A.J. and then to A.J. My grandmotehr used to play on the premises when she was very little. She still lives in So. MS in Laurel, MS. Email me and I'll tell you more. I've found a lot. My grandmother's mother was Olive Linda Coulter and her either grandfather or great grandfather was A.J.

CaseY I can't remember if I answered you or not? If you have any info you could share with me I would appreciate. We have been out of the country on vacation and taken several other trips and I haven't been able to work on genealogy for a while. My great grandmother was Mary Coulter married to Marcus Hemeter.

I'm not sure if I'm related to your branch, but if your Coulters are from Mississippi, there is a great likelihood that we are, especially if your Coulters are from the Covington County area. I'm also trying to trace the Coulter line, and I've gotten back as far as the Revolutionary War. But, only directly. I'm not sure of other branches other than mine. But, we can work on that. I knew nothing of my Crumby family until about a month ago, and its because a distant relative of mine happened to see my post on here and thought there may be a connection. There was, and now I've been able to trace the family back to the 1400s! You just never know.

But my Coulter line is like this:

Casey Allison Crumby
Janet Lynn Sherman & William Russell Crumby
James Robert Sherman & Samantha Lynn Davis
William Ervin Davis & Olive Linda Coulter
Coulter? & ?
(the above link is still unclear to me, I'm still verifying who her her parents were)
Andrew Jackson Coulter & Tabitha Young
Mary Leggett & John Coulter

I'll post the rest of what I have when I have access to my family tree on my computer at home. Lert me know if any of the above names ring a bell. Apparently a lot of people are researching their line off of the the Andrew Jakcson Coulter/John Coulter branch. I got a lot of my information from Gerald Coulter, who has done a lot of extensive research on the family. I suggest checking out websites done by him, or trying to get a copy of one of his books he's published on the family. You just might find your family in there.

I am the granddaughter of William Irvin Davis (May 1874) died 1952 in Maryland. My grandmother was a Magruder and was 16years younger than he. Could she have been a second wife? My grandmother destroyed all papers relating to my grandfather and all we know is that his fathers name was Vincen and his mother's Louisa from Indianapolis, Indiana. Please let me know.

I don't think that my grandmother's father was born that early, since she was only born around 1942. But, she was the baby and there were several others born before her. Even still, I don't think he's the same William Ervin. Still though, having the same name is interesting and there could be a link. I'll check into it further. My grandmother also did not have a close relationship with her father, so she has little details about him. I think we have pictures, so if you have some maybe I could see about getting them posted so you can compare. My grandmother lives in south Mississippi and we are going there to see her at Easter, so It wouldn't be until then until I could get a copy of William's picture posted. But either way, I'll look into it. Good luck in the meantime. I've hit many a brick wall in my research and it's frustrating. But these message boards are a godsend for research and there is a wealth of information here and somebody can always provide clues. That's how I've been directed through many of my discoveries. My surname - Crumby - was horrible to research, but I finally found a guy through this message board who thought we might have a connection and we put our heads together and found a massive amount of info and linked ourselves as cousins. Anyways, hope to get back with you soon.
