Ann COULMAN

   Other names for Ann were Ann CAULMAN, Ann COLEMAN,²⁰⁸⁵ Anne COULMAN,^28,783 Anne COULTHARD,^28,783 Anna WINSOR ²⁰⁸⁶ and Anna Sarah WINSOR.

  Noted events in her life were:

1. Alt. Birth, 1805. ³¹⁵

2. Alt. Birth, Abt 1807, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁴⁷

3. Residence: On the Beach Below the Convent, Cir 1807, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ³⁴⁰ Notes which have been transcribed and copied with many errors over time of an account given to Dad Morry by his maiden aunt Florence (or believed to be) concerning the Morry and Carter and Windsor family connections. She reporte that "Grandmother Winsor" did not much like her own mother and chose to live with Dr. Brand.

4. Interesting: Said to have hidden a boy deserter named Quirk from the RN, Cir 1830, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁶⁵¹ Note that Anna, who may have gotten her information from Dad Morry's memoirs, which also mention this incident, got the date wrong. This was the same incident recorded in the Southern District Court records below in 1849.

5. Property: Transfer of ownership of house and lands to three daughters, 16 May 1836, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹⁴⁹³ This event was shared from William COULMAN who also shared it with Eleanor COULMAN (Party) and Elizabeth COULMAN (Party).

6. Court: Action by Constable Samuel Cose against Anne Winsor, Peter Winsor Jr. and Elizabeth Morry, 22 Jun 1849 to 23 Jun 1849, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁴⁴⁶ This action was precipitated by Constable Samuel Cose in Aquaforte, acting on orders from Constable Richard Sullivan in Ferryland pursuant to a warrant, attempting to arrest a boy (not named) who had run away from his apprenticeship on the Schooner HIRAM in England. He was evidently hiding out in Aquaforte with the collusion of many of the local residents.
From the ferry across Aquaforte Harbour, Cose spied the boy on the other side entering Croft's house and took the boy in charge while he was eating breakfast. As he attempted to conduct his charge by ferry to take him to Ferryland he was stopped by Henry Winsor and his son (not named) who told him he was doing wrong to take the boy in custody. He explained he was only doing his duty and that Richard Sullivan had a warrant for the boy's arrest.
Cose again proceeded to land on the other side from the ferry and took the boy into his own house. When he set out again 10 minutes later, he was by the Store across from "Mr. Winsor's" gate when the boy stopped and would go no further. He said he would throw himself in the harbour to drown because if he returned to the HIRAM, they would throw him overboard before he was half passage.
They started out again and when they were between Condon's and Whelan's houses "Mrs. Henry Winsor" (Anne Coulman, my 3^rd great grandmother) came running up to them and put her arms around Cose and told the boy to run, which he did. Cose then pushed "Mrs. Winsor" to the ground and attempted to chase the boy but her son Peter Winsor Jr. intervened (NB: He was only 14 at the time). Cose pushed him away and was about to begin his pursuit again when Elizabeth Morry (wife of John Henry Morry and daughter of Anne Coulman and Henry Winsor) successfully prevented him from doing so and the boy escaped.
Cose went to see Peter Winsor, Esq. to complain of what had happened but he took no action. This would be another Peter Winsor, actually Peter Ford Winsor, who was an MHA and perhaps not coincidentally had been charged with assaulting Catherine Cose in 1835.

Samuel Cose informed Robert Carter, who was the J. P. in Ferryland at the time and took this deposition that, in the tussle with "Mrs. Henry Winsor", she tore his shirt and damaged his clothing.
Three summonses were issued the following day pursuant to this deposition: to Anne Winsor, wife of Henry Winsor of Aquaforte, Master Mariner; to Peter Winsor "the younger" of Aquaforte (this would be the son of Henry Winsor and Anne Winsor above; and to Elizabeth Morry, wife of John Morry of Ferryland, Trader.
The outcome of the case is not known.

I have just re-examined the notes by Anna Elton Morris of an interview she had with Tom Goodyear in 1985 in which they discussed Aquaforte and the Winsor/Windsor family in particular. On page 4 of that interview Tom retells a story he heard from Alice [Carey] Brehm:

"Alice recalls her great grandmother, Ann Coulman, telling how she hid a boy deserter from the navy until his ship sailed and then released him. He had been severely and ill-treated on the ship. His name was Quirk. Alice Brehm said Ann Coulman did not like her because she was a Tomboy."

This account clearly relates to the same incident that wound up with Ann and Peter Winsor and Elizabeht Morry being summoned to appear before the Magistrate to answer charges of interfering with the duties of Constable Samuel Cose in arresting a deserter from a vessel but the details are somewhat different and confused, as is always the case with oral history.

I had previously assumed that Anna had heard this story from Dad Morry, who also told of the event but with differing details.

This event was shared with Elizabeth Sarah WINSOR and Peter WINSOR.

7. Residence: White Hazel Hill, Bef 1850, Aquaforte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ²⁰⁸⁷

8. Property: Owner of Brig AQUAFORTE, After 9 Dec 1850, Aquaforte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ²⁰⁸⁸

9. Property: Indenture between John Henry Morry & Peter Paint Le Messurier and Ann Coulman-Winsor, 16 May 1853 to 28 Oct 1862, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁴³¹ Note that the transfer actually occurred more than a decade before the Indenture was written and recorded with the Southern District Court. This would seem to imply that the initial deal, which apparently occurred without legal formality, may not have been abided by and the Indenture was therefore needed to secure the assets for Ann Winsor. This event was shared with John Henry MORRY and Peter Paint LE MESSURIER.

10. Court: Indenture or Sale of Chattels - Henry Winser to Ann Winser, 16 Nov 1858 to 2 Nov 1864, Aquaforte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ¹⁸⁴⁴ This event was shared from Capt. Henry Sweetland WINSOR

11. Court: Indenture between John Henry Morry and Ann Coulman-Winsor, 2 Dec 1864, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁴³⁸ This event was shared with John Henry MORRY.

12. Alt. Death, 3 Mar 1876, Aquaforte, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ²²⁶

13. Property: Deed in Trust to Holdsworth property from Ann Coulman Winsor, 15 Dec 1881, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ²⁰² This event was shared from Pte. Thomas Graham MORRY III

14. Residence: Living with her daughter Maria Victoria Matilda [Winsor] Morry, 1898, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. ⁶⁵⁸ 040818:

Nimshi Crewe records an observation by Helena Morry Le Messurier that Ann Coulman, her grandmother, died at her house in 1904. The date is slightly off but Helena was not good with dates. I think it is safe to say she had the rest of it right.

261019:

Note that it was a given that she was living in Caplin Bay at and before the time of her death because her name appears in McAlpine's Directory for 1898. Until I saw this reference in Kevin Reddigan's book, Courageous Souls, I was not aware that she resided in Caplin Bay with her daughter, Victoria, for a long time before her actual death. It appears that she must have later moved to St. John's to live with her granddaughter, Robertha, with whom her other granddaughter, Helena, must have been living at the time. Helena was not married until 1910 and therefore would not have had a house of her own in town until then.
