ISAAC COULTAS was born in Yorkshire, England, in the year 1810, and there resided until he was twenty years of age, when, becoming impressed with a desire to dwell amidst the scenes of a wild new country, he left "Merrie England" for the land where universal freedom reigned, and royalty existed with the high, the low, the rich, and the poor. Liberty, the beautiful Goddess, beckoned him, and he steered for the beacon-light which she burned upon her shores, to light safely into her Elysium the oppressed of all nations. Mr. COULTAS was the thirteenth son of WILLAM and ELIZABETH COULTAS, who were both natives of Yorkshire, England. Their family consisted of seventeen children,-fourteen sons and three daughters,--all of whom were living when they emigrated to the United States, excepting three, who died young. Mr. COULTAS, in company with his three brothers--GEORGE, JOHN, and JACOB--sailed for America, and on the 14th of April, 1830, landed at New York. They went from there to Rochester, N. Y., where they were engaged for some four months in working at anything and everything they could honorably find to do, until they realized a sufficient amount of money to take them to St. Louis. They left Rochester, N. Y., for Illinois, and went by boat to Cleveland, Ohio; from thence they crossed the state, on foot, to Cincinnati, and from there to Louisville, KY. Mr. C. was five weeks going from Louisville, KY to St. Louis. When they got to Shawneetown, Ill., GEORGE and JACOB crossed on foot to Jacksonville. Mr. COULTAS landed at St. Louis, and from there went to Jacksonville on foot, but hired a team to haul their baggage, paying seventy-five cents per hundred for the same, which at that time was the mode of transportation between two places. Mr. C. earned his first dollar in Illinois from JOHN E. KING, to whom he hired for fifty cents per day. When he landed at Jacksonville he only had two dollars in money left. He afterwards hired to WILLIAM KING on the 9th of March, 1831, for one year, at one hundred dollars, never losing a single day in the year. In April, 1832, Mr. COULTAS moved near Jacksonville, and rented a farm from PARSON BRITCH, where he farmed for three years, after which he moved down south of Lynnville, Morgan county, Ill., and settled on a tract of forty acres of land, which he had entered on the 14th of June, 1834. Mr. COULTAS was married on the 17th of July, 1835, to Miss ANN COULTAS. They were married by Rev. Mr. EDWARDS. She was a native of Yorkshire, England, and came to America in 1830, with her father, RICHARD COULTAS. They had six children, four sons and two daughters-RICHARD, JOHN, WILLIAM, THOMAS B., SARAH ELIZABETH (wife of JAMES ROUGH), and MARY JANE (wife of CALEB EVANS). JOHN and WILLLIAM are both dead. Mrs. COULTAS died on the 30th of August, 1849. He was again married, to Mrs. ANN WORRELL. They have had no children, but she has proved to be a loving and kind mother to the children of Mr. C. by his first wife. Mr. COULTAS has accumulated a sufficient amount of this world's goods, and in his declining years enjoys life second to no man in the county.
