Found the following Coulters in a book in the Carlinville (IL) Library.

Archibald died May 12, 1877 at the age of 72 years, four months, 6 days.

Margaret (nee Brown) died March 17, 1868 at the age of 63 years, 8 months, 23 days.

John ?. (Pvt. Co. F 122 Ill Infanty, Civil War) died April 12, 1865 at the age of 25 years, 10 month, 14 days.

Maira Jane died January 20, l852 at the age of 10 years, 10 months and 22 days.

Eliza E. died April 14, 1850 at the age of 13 years, 6 months, 9 days.

Margaret E. died in 1835 at the age of 10 months 24 days.

Another daughter, Mary Frances Coulter Bridges is also buried there. I think there may have been two other children of Archibald Coulter and Margaret Brown, namely Sarah and George but I have no proof.

Apparently the cemetery has been inactive since the late 1800's and is difficult, if not impossible, to find.

I hope this helps someone rather than confuses since there seem to be a number of Archibald Coulters.
Mary Frances Coulter Bridges was the first wife of my great grandfather, Jasper Newton Bridges.
