Coulter-831 and Coulter-2077 appear to represent the same person because: Both were married to Sarah who passed away on July 21 1886 at the home of her son Joseph.

Thank-you for your posting of the Coulter relatives. The Adairs, Livingstones and Coulters still have relatives living in Ballymacilroy area of Antrim, Ireland. They were originally part of the Hamilton/Montgomery Scottish lowlanders from Fife that settled in North Ireland. You will find the immigration records on PRONI in Belfast where many settled in the US and Canada. There is a Livingstone cousin who looks after records of the Brookside Presbyterian Church near Ahoghill, Antrim where a great many of our ancestors are buried. Keep up the good work.
