Yes there is a connection. My grgrgrandfather and Samuel Coulter were brothers. I did not have David's wife name so thank you for that information. David taught in schools at Amulree and Topping.
Samuel's parents were John Coulter and Jane Edwards
Samuel's brothers and sisters were Richard, Alice, Ann, Eliza, Robert, John and Henry.
David's brother and sisters were Richard(died as child), Francis (died as child), Rev. Joseph, Samuel Wesley, Jane, Ann, Richard Henry, Francis, John, and Dr. William.
I have more information on some of these people if you would like it please let me know.

Re: Downie and Mornington Township
Do you have anything on an Eliza Ann Coulter (aka Annie Coulter) born about 1854, died April 24, 1935, and is buried in Knox Presbyterian Cemetery, Mitchell, Logan Township, Perth County? She married Joseph E. Goforth and they lived in Mitchell, Logan Township, Perth County. They had one son, Joseph (Frank) Francis Goforth, born December 21, 1883. Joseph E. Goforth was born 1860 in West Nissouri Township, Middlesex County. I don't have anymore information on Eliza, but someone just sent me something saying her family may have been from Mornington Township. They said there was a John Coulter who lived on the north 1/2 of Lot 8, 3rd concession of Mornington in 1854, and that they believed his children were Samuel, Richard, Alice, Ann, Eliza, Robert, John & Henry.
Could this be the Eliza that I am looking for?
Hope to hear from you,
