Appearing in a Martinsburg VA/WVA newspaper is this ad:


Weaving Business


The subscriber informs his friends and the public generally that he carries 
on the above business in Gano Town, on Back Creek, two miles from Mills' Gap, 
in all its various branches, at the shortest notice and on the most 
reasonable terms.


                                                        JOHN COULTER


June 16, 1814.


I have an interest in this John Coulter, whom I believe to be the son of 
Corbin Coulter/Colter who married Margaret White McCabe 4 July 1795, bond by 
William White, in Frederick Co., VA.  This marriage is recorded in FREDERICK 
COUNTY MARRIAGES 1738-1850 by John Vogt and T. William Kethley, Jr.


According to MARRIAGE RECORDS OF BERKELY COUNTY, VIRGINIA FOR THE PERIOD OF 
1781-1854, compiled by Guy L. Keesecker, John Colter married Rebecca Gano 30 
June 1812.


Also documented in the Berkeley Co. marriage records is the marriage of Betsy 
Colter and Edward Littlejohn 27 April 1812, suretor Corbin Colter.  I believe 
Betsy is Corbin's daughter by Margaret White McCabe.


I would very much like to make contact with anyone researching any of the 
above individuals or who may have more information about them.
