Just to put you on the alert, Merry - I will probably have loads of questions to ask in a minute! I've got one of his lines back as far as a John Coulson and Ruth Glaister who married 15 Feb 1794 at Bromfield, Cumberland. Both are on the 1841 but not after that, as far as I can see, so all I know is they were born in Cumberland (John's age is given as 75 in 1841 and Ruth's as 70.) I was having trouble finding a baptism for Ruth Glaister but looking at the Ancestry World Tree, there is somebody who has a Ruth Glaister, daughter of William Glaister and Mary Ostle who got married 15 Oct 1756 at "Beckfoot Meeting, England". And googling "Beckfoot Meeting" comes up with this:
Quakers on the Solway Plain
It mentions the name Dan Glaister, and one of John and Ruth's grandchildren was called Dan Glaister Nichol, so it looks as though I might be on the right track!
