Martin' Coulter (originally Kolter) was born in Germany and emigrated to America, landing at Philadelphia September 26, 1749, on the Ship Dragon, George Spencer, Master. (Rupp's Collection of Names of German, Swiss and Other Immigrants in Pennsylvania, pages 211-212). The date of his marriage to Catherine Rosanna Boone is not known, but may be approximated by the date of the birth of their eldest child, Feb. 11, 1759. The first known record of his name in North Carolina is found in a Land Grant from King George III to Martin Coulter dated April
--, 1765.
In the Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 22, page 722, his
name is found on a "committee of Defense" (15 names), which met June 12th, 1779, "to consult on some plan to defend our frontier from the enemy" (meaning the Indians). On page 425 of the Index appears-"Coulter Family, Pioneers," Vol. 8, pages 753 and 756. These references are under the general heading-"Early German Reformed Settlements in North Carolina." Martin Coulter was a member of the German Reformed Church, and he and his sons were active in its establishment in the then frontier territory. When the state was invaded by Cornwallis in 1780, he went to the front, serving three months in Captain JamesByers' Company under Col. Francis Locke and Col. Caleb Phifer. (North Carolina State Records.) His name is also found in the Federal Census of 1790 for Lincoln County, North Carolina. He died in 1808.
CATHERINE' ROSANNA BOONE, born in Pennsylvania within or near the period 1730-40, died in Lincoln County, North Carolina about 1813; married Martin Coulter. She was probably a daughter of Joseph Boone (No. 6), (son of George Boone III) and wife Catherine. The following evidence of this connection exists:-
An old piece of time-worn paper written by Catherine's son, Martin Coulter Jr., and bearing the date June 6, 1846, is preserved by descendants. It reads:-
"My father was Martin Coulter. He came to this country from Germany in 1750. My mother was Catherine Rosanna Boone, cousin of Daniel Boone-Squire's Daniel. Brothers John and Philip, sister Catherine." (Signed) Martin Coulter.
Because of Catherine Rosanna Boone's early date of birth (her first child born in 1759) she was probably a grandchild of George Boone III and thus a first cousin of Daniel Boone, rather than a member of a later generation. Record has been found of the children of all of Daniel Boone's uncles except those of the uncle Joseph (born 1704), and not one of this long list of . cousins bore the name Catherine. Therefore, if Catherine Rosanna Boone were a first cousin of Daniel Boone, her father could have been no other than Joseph. In addition to this evidence we have the significant fact of the Christian names used in this branch of the family. Catherine is not a name commonly used among the Boones of that period, but the wife of Joseph Boone, son of George Boone III, bore that name. It can then be reasonably supposed that Catherine Rosanna Boone was named for a mother Catherine. Martin and Catherine Rosanna (Boone) Coulter had a daughter also named Catherine, who named her first son Joseph Boone Lowrance, presumably for his great-grandfather. All of these facts indicate descent from Joseph and Catherine Boone, and while no record of Joseph Boone's children has been found, there seems little doubt that one of them was this Catherine Rosanna (Boone) Coulter.
