Angela, Sorry it took so long for me to reply back I'm in the process of transferring files to a new computer. It doesn't look like there's a connection to my Thomas Coulter, I did however do a couple of quick searches and found your Ripley with his mother & father. Fathers name is Eugene M. Coulter b. Jan 1852 in OH, father born in OH, mother born in VA, married a Paulina in abt 1872. Paulina was b. Jun 1861 in IN, father born in OH, mother born in IN. Email me directly at willades@comcast.net and I can give you the names of Ripley's siblings as well.
