• Notes

  The Coulson were Danes (Northmen) who supposedly migrated to England in the 9th century along with the Vikings. They settled in what is now Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Leicestershire. The original spelling was "Kouldsen". It then softo Coulston and finally Coulson. It means "Son of the Cold". They have a history of being pioneers and actively seeking change. The early look of a Kouldsen was a short, heavy set, blond with blue eyes and red cheeks. They were remembered as an unemotional and undemonstrative family with little love of family according to an early 20th century researcher, Henry Coulson. Thomas was supposedly a Ship's Captain who traded between England and Oriental ports. His family home was supposedly back in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, England. Some of his descendants still live in all the above mentioned counties where the Kouldsen Danes first settled. One source gives Thomas's possible father as a Samuel instead, but offers no proof.
