David Coulter b.1793,Kildrum Parish,Cavan CDounty, Ireland & wife Susanna Craig,b.1895, Monesk,County Cavan together with their sons: Samuel b. 1824 Carballyquill,Cavan;George Thomas b.1826, Cavan;David Jr. b. 1830, Cavan;John b. 1832 Cavan immigrated to Canada in 1834.e Mid 1870's, George and his older sons William, David, & John E. , together with daughter Ann Jane (as cook / housekeeper) started north to locate new farms. They probably took passage on a ship that was traveling North which stopped at Bruce Mines, Ontario. Thence by a ship, probably called the Kate Marks, which plied between Bruce Mines and Marksville (later renamed Hilton Beach), to St. Joseph's Island, where George's brother David Jr. had purchased an existing farm/ homestead called "Liza's House" from Allen Wilfred Rains who had just purchased a sizable section of land at the southern end of Sugar Island , Michigan.
Samuel the older brother, also located a homestead on the property 3 lots north of his brother David's farm. George & family more than likely helped Sam raise his barn which has 1878 scribed in it's gable. These Coulter farms are located just north of Richard's Landing, and across the St. Marys River from Neebish Island, Bruce Township, Chippewa County, Michigan.
George undoubtly had crossed the river and scouted out a farm in Bruce Twp. about 9 miles south of Sault Ste Mariee, Michigan. George then filed an intent to become a U.S. Citizen in Sault Ste Mariee, Michigan (Port of Entry to the U.S.A.) dated 1878 and moved in.
About the same time, George's Uncle William & George's brother John, with their families together with George's pregnant wife: Catherine & their small children crossed Lake Huron to Port Austin, Huron County, Michigan where they settled.
George's son George Thomas Jr. was born in Huron County, Michigan, November 7, 1876. Another son Harry Earl (Henry) was also born in Huron County, Nov 12, 1878. We have not been able to document the birth of these two boys. The above dates were obtained from their U.S. Army service records (Both boys served during the Spanish American War.
Family history:Original family wee Scotts who imigrated or wer planted in Ireland in early 1600.
