The Raymond M. Bell Anthology
The Unlisted Will of John Coulter of Washington County, Pa.
The will of John Coulter, "of Washington County, State of
Pennsylvania" was written June 10-1789 in Mason County,
Virginia, now Kentucky. He was likely on an exploratory trip. He
named wife, Abigail; oldest son Thomas, over 21; sons Jonathan,
Samuel, James, John, under 21. Three daughters were not named.
The Washington County Orphans Court (A-88) in 1791 appointed
guardians for Mary, Abigail, John, Elizabeth, under 14. The
witnesses to the will were William Wood, David Brodrick, Philip
Drake. On July 11-1789 they attested in Mason County that they
had seen John sign the will. This was verified by the County
Clerk on July 13. It was "recorded" in Washington
County October 20-1789. Executors were wife Abigail and son
Thomas Coulter. The will is not listed in the Washington County
index.
The will is found in the Accounts (C-1-1791), filed by Abigail.
The earliest record of John Coulter in Washington County is in
the 1785 tax list of Fallowfield Township. In the 1790 census
Abigail has 3 males over 16, 3 under 16, and 4 females. John in
his will indicated that he was leasing land. On June 24-1791
Thomas Coulter bought the 163-acre farm. He and wife, Nancy, sold
it December 16-1796 (DB M655). There is no further record of this
family in Washington County. The DAR PATRIOT INDEX lists John as
a sergeant in New Jersey. There is no record of Revolutionary
service in Pennsylvania. Abigail was the daughter of Jonathan
PARSHALL, who with John Coulter, first appears in the 1769 tax
list for Fermanagh Township, Cumberland County, now Juniata
County, Pennsylvania. Abigail and John were married about 1767.
On June 23-1783 John Coulter was a witness in Fermanagh Township
(DB G11). He moved to Washington County about 1784. Jonathan
Parshall sold his land in 1773 (DB C398) and 1774 (DB D92). (A
witness in 1774 was Frederick Parshall.) Jonathan had warranted
the land in 1770. It was at the mouth of Lost Run, where it
empties into the Juniata River. Jonathan moved a few miles north
about 1776 to Derry Township, Cumberland County, now Decatur
Township, Mifflin County. In 1777 he bought 117 acres from
Charles Coxe, a land speculator from Hunterdon County, New
Jersey. It was at the head of Long Meadow Run. Jonathan sold it
in 1785 to George Sigler, who lived on the farm to the west.
Sigler, who had moved from Hunterdon County about 1775, had also
bought his land from Coxe. (When George Sigler Jr was captured by
Indians at age 20 in 1782, it was Caleb, son of Jonathan, who
told the family about George Jr's safe return. The Siglers are
ancestors of the writer.) Caleb Parshall first appears in the
Derry Township tax list in 1778, Jonathan in 1779. By 1790 Caleb
had a grist mill on Long Meadow Run. Jonathan Parshall wrote his
will March 15-1781. It was probated January 23- 1795 (Mifflin
County WB 1-65). The named executors were Caleb Parshall and John
Coulter (dead in 1795). Named were sons: Jonathan, David, Caleb
and daughters: Mary, Abigail, Hetable; also Thomas, son of
Abigail, and Elizabeth, daughter of Hetable. Two daughters of
John Glasgow, a neighbor, Elizabeth and Mary married Parshalls.
One married Caleb, for Caleb was buried on the farm of James
Glasgow, son of John. Caleb, a freeman (single) in the 1779 and
1780 tax lists, was married about 1781. He served in the
Cumberland County militia 1777-79 under Captain George Bell
(another ancestor of the writer) and 1780-82 under Captain Robert
Means. The censuses indicate that he had 3 sons and 3 daughters.
He last appears in the 1830 census. His brothers may have gone to
Ohio. His sister Abigail went to Washington County, as related
above. The Parshalls may have originated in Essex County, New
Jersey." This article was transcribed by Liz DuBois of
Bremerton, WA in August 1998.
