HAVE ISAIAH COULTER IN WASHINGTON CO., KY 1830, also on Census is a Mark and an Alexander.  ? Is Isaiah COULTER̓s father Martin COULTER [1790 census Morgan District,Lincoln Co., NC]???

Isahia was not the son of Martin. His three sons were Martin Jr, John and Philip

Believe Isaiah COULTER married Rose ______?, they have a daughter Falicia A. COULTER (Born 1823 Wash.Co.KY)

Maybe Mark and Alexander are brothers or uncles.

Falicia A. COULTER m. Jackson RANEY 1838 Wash. Co.KY
Children: James (B.1840;) Mary (B. 1845;) Rose B. (B. 1843;) Thomas COLTER B. 1842 lives with family.

Another Letter from Dorothy Clanton Phillips

Dear Mr. Mattocks:

Thank you for replying and thank you for the information. I hope your father is better by now.

I am sending you a little more information that I have. I don’t believe that it is Thomas and Caroline’s son living with Andrew Jackson Raney, because he is shown in the 1860 Washington County, Kentucky Federal Census living in the household of Isaiah and family. Thomas is also shown; so he couldn’t be dead in 1856. Look at the material from Filson Library again. I believe that Caroline was the one that died in 1856, probably in childbirth of her son Thomas. See 1860 Washington County, KY census below.

Caroline is not listed.

In 1860 Washington Co, KY Census there is a Roseann I. Coulter age 8 and a Sabra Coulter age 2 living with a Turner Cohuim family. Micro-film page #167 Family #528 District II Willisburg. They coul be Rowan’s daughters.

Mark Colter is not listed in the 1860 census. He must have died. He is listed in the 1850 census. Family #719 Micro-film #181. He was alsoo born in North Carolina. They could be brothers. I find Isaiah Colter (Coulter) in the 1810 KY Census, Washington County Micro-film page #335, also Mark Colter Micro-film page 330. Isaiah and Mark Colter are not listed in 1820 or 1830. They are again listed in the 1840 Census. Isaiah Micro-film page 108 and Mark Micro-film page 106.

found in 1994, first visit to Kentucky July 6-13, 1994. My sister’s name if Joyce Thomas Ellington. We had the same mother, but different fathers. She lives in Oklahoma. I am the oldest. There are no other children.

These are the children of Thomas and Caroline Colter, son of Isaiah. This was witnessed by: M.H. Kimberlin — He was married to Burnette by then or was soon to be. M.H. Kimberlin and Burnette Colter Kimberlin are
my great grandparents.

Washington County Marriages. Groom Index.

Isaiah Coulter (Colter) married Rosanna Burress (Burris) April 16, 1818. Isaiah must have been married before. Rowan was born in 1808.

Mark Coulter (Colter) married Nancy Taylor December 18, 1810.

Josephine Colter	L193
Elisabeth Colter	L195-N86
Thomas Colter	L196-N80

This was found by me and my sister’s first visit to Kentucky in 1994. At that time we did not know who Rowan was, but thought he was some kin.

We also found the inventory of Isaiah Colter’s property. It was in a large book, too big to be copied. It looked like his estate had to be sold on the courthouse steps including his slaves. I believe this had to do with something that happened during the Civil War, maybe he couldn’t pay taxes.

We believe that we found the graves of Isaiah and Rosanna and maybe Thomas and Caroline. There are some graves with stones (can’t read the names) in a field with large bales of hay on top of them. They were buried at a farm that was owned by Coulter’s. We got the information from the library in Louisville, Ky (Filson Library).  People a little way from this site told us there were about 15 graves there. We could not see very much for the hay that was on top of them.

We also found the Coulter cemetery close to Willisburg, but the stones were all turned over. We couldn’t find any Colters that we knew. There were some Colter (Coulter) graves there.

I believe this is all I have at this time that maybe you don’t have. I keep looking.

Sincerely,

Letter from Dorothy Clanton Phillips

Dear Ms. Mattocks:

I am a volunteer at the Hopkins County Genealogical Society Library in Sulphur Springs, Texas. I also am doing research on the Colter family. Colters are my relatives. My husband and I went to Salt Lake City, Utah (Morman Library) and found the name of Falicia Coulter on the computor. At first I didn’t think Falicia could be any relation, because I had not found her on the Census. Looking again at the 1850 Census, Washington County, Kentucky, I found her (Falicia) married to Andrew Jackson Raney and living next to Isaiah Colter (my ggg grandfather). They are on page 167, family number 524 and 525. I am sending you a copy of the 1850 census and family group sheets on the Colter’s. Isaiah Colter and Rosanna Burris (Burress) Colter are buried in a family burial ground owned by Coulters in 1996 near Willisburg on the old Mackville Road. My sister and I saw the stones (can’t read names) in a field with large bales of hay on top of them.

I found the information about the burial place for Isaiah Colter and Rosannah at the Filson Club Library in Louisville, Kentucky. My sister and I have made three trips (1994, 1995, and 1996) to kentucky. There is a lot of information about the Colters in the Courthouse at Springfield, Kentucky.

My family connections to the Colters are:

Isaiah COLTER – Rosannah BURRIS (BURRESS)	ggg grandparents
Thomas COLTER – Caroline LANHAM	gg grandparents
Burnette COLTER – M.H. KIMBERLIN	g grandparents
Margaret KIMBERLIN – V.E. SEWARD	grandparents

I am sending you some copies of things that I have on the Colters. I hope this will help you in your research. If you have anything that I don’t have, please send me a copy of it. I will get a copy to my sister who lives in Oklahoma. She is a half-sister on my mother’s side. We have different fathers. Her name is Alice Joyce Thomas Ellington.

Sincerely,
Dorothy Clanton Phillips

P.S. Falicia had to be Andrew Jackson RANEY’s first wife. The chilren were born while still in Kentucky & before the children born to Susannah.

For some reason he was considered the black sheep of the family. I do not have any aditional information about him, except that my mother Lillian Louise SEWARD CLANTON THOMAS told me that she and her family visited him one time. He lived out of state, maybe chicago, Ill.
