The father of these 9 children, James Mathias Coulling (1786-1863) (ancestor chart), was the son of James Coulling (1756-1807), the emigrant from England.
James Coulling (1756-1807) was born in St. Ann's Parish, Limehouse, England, the oldest of the four children of David Coulling and Elizabeth Tiday. James was a tailor by trade and came to America in 1775 with George Coulling. George was born about 1744 (according to the log of the Ship Fortune) and was an upholsterer by trade. Both James and George settled in Maryland as four-year-indentured servants. The subscriber for James was Valentine Lees. Many Coullings are interred at Bladon where Winston Churchill is also interred.

Narrative based on letters, ship logs, etc. cited in the genealogy:
In the late eighteenth century, a young man named James Coulling lived with his family in Limehouse, England. He decided to leave home, and it was learned he had gone to St. James end of town. His father, David Coulling, hoped in time he would return. Instead, news was received that his son had gone to sea. This broke his father's heart, as he had always expected one of his sons to take over his business after his death.

James had agreed to be an indentured servant for four years, and left London on the ship "Fortune," sometime between July 10 and 17, 1775, its destination being Maryland.

Upon the ship's arrival in Maryland, James was turned over to the person who had paid his passage to this country. He only worked approximately one year when he ran away from his Subscriber.

He must have been returned to his master, for in a letter to his father, he told of the hardships he had undergone and the abonded life he led for some time, even after his marriage to Elizabeth.

Coulling Descendants in England:
**Mary Annsworth Coulling (wife of David Coulling, b. 1777/1778) and sister-in-law of James Coulling (1756-1807), the emigrant from England, is pictured in this portrait:

"Grandma Coulling," Great Grandma of Kate Coulling Little Jacques, 1870-1959, was the mother of twenty two sons and one daughter, according to Kate's daughter, Dorothy Christine Jacques, 1898-2000.


The gouache portrait of circa 1825, known by family tradition as "Grandma Coulling," depicts Mary Annsworth Coulling born in 1775/6, Diss, Norfolk, England. Died 1852, Romford, Essex, England.
 The portrait is in the possession (2006) of Malcolm Graydon Baum, great great great grandson of "Grandma Coulling" - Mary Annsworth Coulling.


The link between the English and American branches of the Coulling family is shown in the descendant chart of David & Jane Couling, parents of David Coulling (b. 1734-37), the latter of whom married Elizabeth Tiday.

This update links the Warthens (descendant chart) of Montgomery County, Maryland to those in Howard County, Maryland. It was added to this site after visits to the Jane C. Sween Library of the Montgomery County Historical Society, the Maryland State Archives, reviewing the "Wathen Anthology," by Carol Collins and "The Early Wathen/Worthen/Warthen Colonists of America," by Dr. Robert Orr Warthen, M.D. The Warthen lineage back to Ignatius Wathen (1755-1813) seems plausible in light of the posting by Carol Collins on the Wathen Family Genealogy Forum and the Benton website concerning Benjamin Smith Benton. Ancestors prior to Ignatius are based on Dr. Warthen's, "The Early Wathen/Worthen/Warthen Colonists of America." The appearance of William Wathen (1-14-1797 to aft 1870) as father of James B. Wathen (1834-1892) in the 1850 Montgomery County, MD Census was an extraordinary find. The discovery of James B. Warthen's older sisters, Drusilla Ann and Sarah E. was also quite enlightening. The presence of Sarah Warthen, and her daughters Drusilla Warfield, and Sarah E. Crockett on the March 1857 membership list of Damascus Methodist Church Welcome>History of DUMC>here, while Nathan Benton Warthen, was Leader was quite enlightening. It was also interesting to discover that present day Warthens are probably descendants of John Wathen (1646-1705), the emigrant from England. Other sites concerning John Wathen are Descendants of John Wathen by Rhonda Patton Wathen, Descendants of John Wathen by Gary & Becky Earls, and Descendants of John Wathen by David Smith.

A question by Randall Douglas Lofland prompted the posting of detailed data which were abstracted from a copy of the Descendants of Mordecai Cook of "Mordecai's Mount." 1650, by William Carter Stubbs, Ph.D., Audubon Park, New Orleans, LA; New Orleans, L. Graham & Son Ltd., Printers, 207-211 Baronne St., 1895. The latter reference was kindly provided by Ruth Virginia Lofland Cato, to produce the website for the Ancestors of Harry Ann Pryor Cooke Coulling, 1840-1883, wife of David Coulling, 1814-1886.

Among many additions since the last update of this website, is the death of Bertha Elizabeth Coulling Schuler on 15 November 2008. Born in 1912 as the fifth daughter of William Coulling and Ella Katherine Powers, she was 96. She was the last of their six daughters to survive. These six daughters are great great grand daughters of Rev. James Coulling, Methodist Pastor, 1756-1807, emigrant from England. They are also grand daughters of Rev. David Coulling, Southern Baptist Preacher, 1814-1886. The Rev. Paul Alexander Papp, United Methodist Pastor and nephew, jointly presided with her pastor at her funeral service, Catonsville United Methodist Church, Maryland.
