Wittness Present Nathel Coulter Thos Breadford [1] Who was
John Coulter? At this stage, various possibilities present themselves.
He could have been the brother of Andrew (see 1775 will of Andrew Coulter)
or he could have been the father of Andrew. Then there is the John Coulter
who married Jane Bartley as well as an unnamed Coulter, the father of
a John Coulter who was probably the first husband of a Margaret who married
John McKee. In fact, there are a whole mess of Coulters – the fact of
their wills being all stored at Gilford Castle as well as the frequent
connection to Cavananore is what leads one to suspect a connection.
[2] Cavananore
– a townland of 219 acres in Upper Dundalk, Co. Louth
[3] Andrew
Coulter – his parents are unknown at this time, but he was a brother to
Barbara (1721-1795), Elizabeth, Mary, Nathanial & Susanna.
[4] Maghban
(?) Although the closest name (going by how it sounds) would be “Maghon”, a townland of 291 aces in the Civil
Parish of Drumcree, Co. Armagh, I suspect nonetheless that it is more likely to be Moybane, Parish of Creggan. It is south of Urcher (separated by the townland of Sheiland) and has 342 acres within its boundaries.
[5] Edward
Tipping. Mary Coulter married an unnamed Tipping. James Tipping was mentioned
in Thomas Bradford’s will. How the Tippings fit, I don’t know. There is
also a townland: Tullyvallan (Tipping) East 151 acres
in Co. Armagh.
[6] Nathanial
Coulter, brother of Andrew Coulter who had a daughter, Mary Coulter, although
his wife’s name is at present unknown.
[7] Thomas
Breadford (also Bradford) (husband of Barbara Coulter) brother-in-law
to Andrew Coulter
[8] Rev Patrick SIMPSON
[9] Dungooley
– a townland of 609 acres in the Barony of Upper Dundalk, the Civil Parish
of Faughart, Co. Louth
[10] Anaghavackey A townland of 369 Acres in the Civil Parish
of Creggan, Barony of Upper Dundalk, Co. Louth |
