12. | Capt. Thomas COULSTON (11.Thomas2, 1.William1) was born on 9 Dec 1626 in St. Peter, Derbyshire, ENG; died on 22 Nov 1686 in Hartshorn, Derbyshire, ENG. 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 softened to 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. (C-1339) Capt. married Anne BORROW on 13 Nov 1655 in St. Werburgh, Derbyshire, ENG. Anne (daughter of Humphrey BORROWE and Mary ROBY) was born on 1 Jan 1634; was christened in 1634; and died.

16. | Joseph COULSTON (12.Capt.3, 11.Thomas2, 1.William1) was born on 17 Jul 1663 in Hartshorn, Derbyshire, ENG; died on 1 Feb 1708 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; was buried about 2 Feb 1708 in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Notes: Although I've seen second hand sources stating that Joseph and family immigrated to Philadelphia, PA in 1704, there is a deed record dated Dec. 2, 1696 where a Joseph Coolsen witnesses the sale of 8 acres of land by Randolph Croxen of Chester (Co., PA) toThomas Powell in Chester Co., Pennsylvania I know that the spelling varies, but that spelling was only phonetic in those days. I personally believe that this Joseph is one and the same as our Joseph. (C-2136) At any rate, Joseph received a license to run a tavern or inn on March 28, 1704. He is on record as having sent one of his children to study at school with Pastorius, the founder of Germantown. He paid into the school fund from 1706-1708. Joseph and Margaret's children were Thomas, Margaret, and Samuel. Samuel died at age six weeks. A second son born in 1748 was also named Samuel. Both Margaret and Thomas raised large families, some of whose ancestors intermarried. At the marriage of Margaret Coulson to John Coppock, Joseph and Margaret were listed as Margaret's parents of Germantown, Philadelphia, Province of Penn. Her parents were already deceased at this point in time though the marriage record does not state that. Her parents are, however, missing from the witness list for the wedding as would be expected. (C-467, 2020) He is buried at the old Hood Cemetery in Germantown. Up till 1920, his stone was still visable and was the oldest standing in the cemetery. It's inscription read, "Here lyeth the body of Joseph Coulston, once husband of Margaret Coulston, Son of Capt. Thomas Coulston of Hartshorn in old Derbyshire, England who departed this life the first day of February 1707/8, ages 38 years and 8 months. It is highly likely that this stone was placed there years after his death as Quakers would not have listed a Feb. date, but a month like 12mo 1707. They also did not use gravestones in the 18th century. (C-2020) Charles Coulson Rich, a well known early Mormon Church Leader, is a descendant of this line. (C-620, 1442) Joseph married Mary Margaret EVANS before 1689. Mary (daughter of Jane HODGES) was born about 1667 in Hartshorn, Derbyshire, ENG; died in 1715 in Germantown, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
