Surnames: Coulter Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DNB.2ACI/421 Message Board Post: These are copys of Ethel Coulter Browns application into the Daughters of the American Revolution. But I would like to point out a few things about this application. On page 2 you see that Ethel tried to say that Matthew was born in Penn. Its crossed out by the DAR. The DAR put the place of birth as probably North Carolina. At the bottom of page 2 Richard is crossed out, and Matthew is written in. Also at the bottom of the page the only service that is accepted is his service in the N.C Militia as a Pvt. On page 3 Here Ethel is trying to claim to a Richard Coulter that was born in Penn. And was a 2nd Lt. in 1775 in Penn. The DAR has crossed all of this out. So you can see why everyone for so long always thought that Richard Matthew Coulter just had to be born in Penn. I've looked for records in Penn. but I've never found anything that I could ever match to Richard Matthew Coulter. The only information that I have ever found on him was either in Orange Co. N.C. or Casey Co. Ky. and Mercer Co. Ky.
