> My cousin Lana and I have been working on connecting to the Taney & Cedar
Co., MO Coulter's for a very long time and we believe we've finally made
that connection.
>
> I recently received the pension file for George W. Coulter who is the
youngest brother of our direct ancestor Thomas A. Coulter b. 1841 in TN. The
pension file is nearly 2" thick, the reason being George was investigated
because he was apparently with the Confederacy as well as the Union Armies.
He says he was taken against his will from his father's and made to serve
with the Confederacy, when he finally "got away" he went to stay with his
brother, Thomas A. Coulter, in Dade Co., MO and signed up for the Union Army
with Thomas, this was Thomas' second time serving, first with Co E 6th MO
Cavalry, then Co E 14th Vol. Calvalry with George.
>
> Because of the investigation there are several affidavits & depositions
from various family members and neighbors. One in particular dated Aug. 5,
1908 in which George states: "Father had a brother Thos. H. Coulter about 10
mi north of Dubuque his post office was Forsythe. He had sons named Tom, one
named Will and one named Jim, I do not know where they live now." Other
papers refer to cousins Thomas Coulter, William Coulter, James Coulter, all
of Forsythe, Taney Co., MO. We believe this Thomas H. is Thomas Harris
Coulter, unless there was another Thomas H. Coulter in Taney Co., MO, we
haven't found one. One deposition states that "Flem Smith married my cousin"
I haven't found anything on Flem yet but it appears he married one of Thomas
H. Coulter's daughters. There's also a questionaire filled out by Mrs.
Thomas Coulter, widow, dated 1908 Forsythe, Taney Co., MO, in which she
states, "yes, her husband had a cousin named George W. Coulter". There are 3
Thomas Coulter's menti!
> oned in this huge file, Thomas A. Coulter, brother; Thomas H. Coulter,
uncle; Thomas A. Coulter cousin.
>
> We know that George & Thomas' father is John J. Coulter one source being
Thomas' death certificate and the other, despositions from George, Thomas
and their sister Marilda T. Coulter describing family members & neighbors.
>
> So if Thomas H. Coulter is John J. Coulter's brother it appears our John
J. Coulter is another son of Brig. Gen. Thomas Coulter.

> John J. Coulter
> b. abt 1809 TN

> The family can be found in 1860 Taney Co., MO census and the 1870 Cedar
Co., MO census. We believe we have Mary & Thomas in 1850 living with the
Allen Kennedy family in Cedar Co., MO, so far haven't found the other family
members in 1850. We don't know yet of the connection to the Kennedy family
or if there is one.
>
> John J. Coulter came to MO from TN sometime before 1845 as George was born
in MO. There is a John J. Coulter in Rhea Co., TN in 1830. We would love to
hear from anybody who can connect to this family, as well as anyone who can
prove or disprove that John J. Coulter is another son of Brig. Gen. Thomas
Coulter.
