Ann Coulter Parents: Meet Nell Husbands Martin, John Vincent Coulter

Ann Hart Coulter is a conservative media pundit, author, syndicated columnist, and lawyer from the United States.

Ann Coulter was born on December 8, 1961, in New York City, to FBI agent John Vincent Coulter and Nell Husbands Coulter, from a working-class Catholic Irish American and German American family in Albany, New York.

Ann Coulter’s mother’s ancestry can be traced back to a group of Puritan settlers in Plymouth Colony, British America, who arrived on the Gryphon with Thomas Hooker in 1633, and her father’s family were Catholic Irish and German immigrants who arrived in America in the nineteenth century.

During the famine, her father’s Irish ancestors emigrated and worked as ship labourers, tilemakers, brickmakers, carpenters, and flagmen. Coulter’s father used the GI Bill to attend college and later idolised Joseph McCarthy.

She has two older brothers: James, an accountant and John, an attorney. Her family later relocated to New Canaan, Connecticut, where Coulter and her two older brothers, James and John, were raised.

Ann Coulter graduated from New Canaan High School in 1980. She rose to prominence as a media pundit in the late 1990s, appearing in print and on cable news as an outspoken critic of the Clinton administration. Her first book was about Bill Clinton’s impeachment, and it grew out of her experience writing legal briefs for Paula Jones’ attorneys, as well as columns she wrote about the cases.
