*These blank spaces appear thus in the Bible.
On a blank page in the front of the Bible the deaths of Samuel Sr., Uriah,
Samuel Jr. and Tamar Sr. are written in brown ink and in a different hand
than here. The death dates only are given, and for Uriah the date is
"22 of 4th Mo 1785".
A memorial in the Bible, printed probably after the death of Jabez Coulson in
1886, gives the information that Jabez, son of Jehu and Jane Coulson, was born
in Brownsville, Fayette Co., PA, 17 Jan 1797; moved in the spring of 1811 with
his parents to Columbiana Co., OH, where he died 14 Feb. 1886 aged 87 years
and 27 days. He was a member of the Society of Friends all his life. He
married first, Sarah Pim, a widow with six children, who was 13 years his
senior, by whom he had four children, Rachel, Joseph, Benjamin and Pim.
Of these, Pim died when about two years old. He raised the other children
and a nephew, Jess Coulson, and kept his parents the last ten years of their
lives. His first wife died 31 July 1850, age 65 and he married 1 Jan 1852,
Abigail Regester, more than 13 years his junior, by whom he had one child,
John.
