Dianne, Thanks for the posts. I found them interesting but some more interesting than others. This one had three surnames that I am researching, Couch, Stone, and Hanna. The Couches are my maternal lines from Coweta County, Georgia. My Stone family, and I believe these listed may be cousins, are from South Carolina. My Hannas married into the Stones and some of the Hanna children migrated to Mississippi in the 1820's and 30's. Thanks for another lead.
