Kay, I looked on the names website and there isn't a meaning for Urquarth. The closes to the name in the dictionary is Urquhart,Sir Thomas(1611-60), Scottish translator of three books of Rabelais(1653,1693). Paula

Excuse me it's Kenan Couch and not Kenyon ,didn't have on glasses.p

Kay, William Couch is Drury 's son , William had Kenyon and Kenyon had William Scott, As for the odd name it's whatever William Scott Couch and Mary Ann Boddie Lee named their son. I think that I've may have found some Couch offspring's if they'll reply to my e-mail. I was told that there wasn't any living Couch relatives of this line. paula

When my great grandmother died she was a Teal (born a Couch and first married a Couch) Not sure the date her husband died, but several years before her. Her death certificate says that Nathan Teal, the husband, provided the info for her death certificate -- huh?

Paula let me get this straight -- are all of these the children of a Drury? I am still lost. Was William Scott a brother to Wm of Wm and Rebecca? Do you have any idea where this name came in? Urquarth - I have never seen that before.

Dyanne, Greetings from Alabama. I have considerable information about your ancestors John Couch Sr and Mary Prather of Pendleton District, Pickens County. There are a number of other relatives who occasionally post on thi CouchGenWeb. You may want to go to the archieves and post John & Mary Prather Couch and see what they have. Kenneth Ramsey Couch is also a descendent of John and Mary Prather Couch and he has taken the COUCH DNA test. He belongs to group 5 which numbers some 14 individuals including myself. Thus, your Couch family and mine have a common ancestor. Your John Couch Sr was born in Orange County, SC and moved later to Pickens County, SC. A rather large number of Couches moved to northwest South Carolina and were in Spartanburg and Greenville Counties near Pickens County, SC. What would you like to know about your family? Do you have any idea who was the father of John Couch Sr? Please to know of you and your line. Please let me hear from you and tell me how I might be of help. Robert H.

Bill, What conflicts are you talking about? What proof would you accept? Thomas's Will names Children. And these are all found in the 1790 Spartanburg County Census. Then the same names appear in Greenville County, SC next to each other on the banks of the north Fork of the Saluda River. Their original land records there are on microfilm. I have seen these. They also appear in the 1800 census of Greenville County, SC. If, as some suggest, Benjamin, James and Isaac are sons of old Thomas then they too appear in land deals and census records of Greenville County, SC. I do know that some of these folks (Benjamin and another John for instance) appear in both Spatanburg County, and Greenville Counties in the 1800 census. So, unless they sent postcards home telling of their move to Greeenvile and we get hold of some of these we will never have proof positive. So, this is the working hypothesis I shall try to prove. If you have any hard data to show this hypothesis is wrong I would be glad to accept it as proof. However, negative generalities such as "I don't think they are a part of the old Thomas family....."just too many conflicts to be a part of that line without some good proof" will not really be helpful in proving the hypothesis or disproving it. Look forward to seeing you evidence disproving this hypothesis. I simply responded to your inquiry about research into the Couches of Greenville County, SC. Robert H.

I really don't think they are part of the old Thomas Couch family, Just too many conflict to be part of that line without some good proof. But If you find any I would love to see it. I think we have accounted for most of the Old Thomas Children. Old Thomas family left lots more documents behind that some of the other families. But Records show they have a large number of children also and we have not accounted for any of them.

My name is Dyanne Couch Busby from Rome Ga. My parents are Jack and Mildred Roghelia Couch. My Grandparents are James C. and Martha Agnes Couch. My Great Grandparents are John Quincy Adams Couch and Mary Jane Ellison / William Couch and Eliza Orr. My Grandfather James was born in Pickens Co. SC in 1849 and died in Rome Ga. in 1954. I am searching for the name of the father of John Couch Sr. (The John Couch Sr. who was born in 1775 and married Mary Ann Prater, Daughter of John Hunt Prater and Eleanor Pickens.)

Have a nice trip. Please keep in touch. I think it is important to learn more of Captain John Couch of England and father of your James and John Couch of Buckingham co, VA. Given our Group 5 DNA matches we need to find a common ancestor and this Capt John Couch just may be a major clue. We know of Thomas and Elizabeath Couch in Brunswick Co, VA as early as 1720; James and William Couch were probably brothers of Thomas and I would suggest that maybe Captain John Couch may have been another brother of these Virginia gentlemen who were in Brunswick (Lunenburg) County VA in 1720--30s. Thanks for you help and please contact Bev Blum for any additional ideas of where to seek the orignis of Captain John Couch in England. When did he come. Who were his parents his siblings? Robert H.

Bill, Did you get my data on the Greenville, SC Couches? I want to know what you think. Did several of Ole Thomas' sons and grandsons move to shores of north fork of Saluda river in Greenville County, SC during the period of 1795-1800? IT seems many left early in 1800 to GA, TENN, ALAbama etc. Bob Couch ---------- >From: Bill Couch <bcouch@CouchGenweb.com> >To: COUCH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [COUCH] Greenville Couch >Date: Sun, Aug 31, 2003, 9:52 PM > >I have been going over some old files.
