I am looking for information on two Coulson family's that lived in Finney County between 1878 and 1890. William and Jane Coulson with 9 children moved into the area from Nebraska and settled into what was them Buffalo County. An additional child, Walace was born and possibly died there. William was supposedly a Methodist Circuit Rider. I have seen this book mentioned. Centennial Saga of First Methodist Church Garden City, Kansas 1882-92 by Patricia Smith. If anyone has this book could they check for Coulson's. The family is William C. (W.C.) Coulson and wife Effemia with two children. They all arrived at the same time. William C. was sheriff in the county in 1887. I am also hoping that someone has access to Finney County, Kansas, obituary attracts and death notices 1879-1911 by Katherine Powell. I am hoping that Walace's death and possibly Jane's is mentioned there. Coulson's have continued to puzzle me in their ability of avoid most census takers, except for the 1880 Kansas. Thank you for your help Lisa
