The family emigrated to Pottawottamie County, Kansas, about 1856. Allen died about 1859 and his wife died shortly after. As near as I can remember, Thomas first went to Indiana, married to Miss Armstrong in about 1865, emigrated to Salina County, Kansas, where he died some years later."

My father moved from Salem, Ohio, in the spring of 1857 where he had been a tanner. While in Ohio he married to Katharine Myers who died September 5, 1858, and my father in December 1859.

George Coulson moved to Salem, Iowa, in 1845 then a Quaker town, and from there to Council Bluffs, Iowa. He died Oct. 1851 and was buried in the cemetery, a beautiful spot on the bluffs of the Missouri River. There was a land slide in 1852. His wife and several others went to see it the next day. They stood on the bank, some one hollowed that the land was cracking, and they just got back in time, one of the party had to jump two feet. Mrs. Coulson and her sons, George and James moved to Ogden City, Utah, in 1853. There was another landslide after she had left Council Bluffs. The children desiring his remains removed to Utah, they requested Preacher Girly to see about the matter and after their persistent requests, he at last advised them that their father's remains had gone down with the last landslide.

George Coulson born Sept. 3, 1810 in West Virginia my father moved to Warren, Ohio, 1819. He learned the blacksmith trade; married in January 1822 to Nancy Ann Cossitt a sister of Doctors Epaphroditus and James Cossitt of Greensville, Pa. George and Henry C. Coulson studied medicine. George first studied Allopathic practice, but not liking to give strong medicine, after a few years, studied Botanical practice.He moved to La Harpe, Ill., in May 1835, he and a cousin, named La Harpe. Cousin Chaffen was the first Post Master of La Harpe. George Coulson Justice of the Peace, Supervisor 12 years County Commissioner 3 therms; 8. Trustee for 12 years.
He was a good lawyer and lecturer; he was an uncommonly intelligent self made man. He attended school only nine months; the first term he had to go eight miles, and studied by fire light at night.
He was a good reader, had a good memory, having read a book or heard a sermon he could repeat it afterwards. His kindness to his family was such that his children obeyed him for love not from fear; his wife was terribly afflicted with rheumatism, consequently very nervous and trying, which he bore with great forbearance. I believe God has blest him in heaven. The first meetings were held at his house for over two years every four weeks, people came a long distance, had love feasts at 9:00, preaching at 11:00, meeting and class meeting at 1:30. Coulson would roast a 9 week old pig in a brick-oven and having other edibles accordingly they had dinner. Coulson often preached, was kind, charitable and benevolent. The first Temperance meeting and Sunday Schools were held at his house. He built a log cabin and hired the first school-master.
