Pa Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Pa/Venango/2747 Surname: COULTER, DOWNING ------------------------- Searching for any information regarding the birth father of my grandfather, Albert C. Coulter: Mother: Elizabeth DOWNING b: May 1862 in ,,PA,USA Father: Unknown Coulter Children: Albert Charles COULTER b: 18 Aug 1882 in Emlenton, Venango, PA and Hattie COULTER, Emlenton, PA 1887 'UNKNOWN' Coulter and Elizabeth Downing were probably married around 1880. There is no 1890 census, but in Allegheny County, McKees Rocks, PA 1900 census, she has these two children and is listed as a 38-year old widow, living with parents, John and Rosetta Downing. There is no other record available to me. Albert's death certificate shows 'unknown' Coulter as father, and marriage certificate has no information. I do not know what became of Elizabeth or daughter Hattie, or future married names. I would like to find out who 'unknown' Coulter is. The first name MAY BE Charles or Alfred, if that is helpful.
