Kay....and all... Here is a chronological list of Genforum messages describing my search for my grandmother's Couch line. I got my original info from other family members who worked on our line. They told me that John F was born in 1870 and his father, William was born abt 1845. Using these two dates, I zeroed in on the Irvin Couch line. # 1 My original message. My grandmother, Mary Elcie Couch was born in Ardmore, Okla in 1892. Father John Couch b. 1870 in Ark. Mother Lizzie(probably Elizabeth) Brinkley b. abt 1870 in Ark. John's father was a William Couch b Abt 1845 in Ark or Georgia. I think it is possible John's father was Irvin Couch b Abt 1823 in Georgia, Md. Lucy Rose... # 2 A coupla replies by Ray Hatton suggesting the Lewis Couch/Zenoria Brinkley connection.. Jess, You might try the 1880 U. S. Census for Craig twp, Van Buren County, Arkansas. There is a Lewis Couch, age 57, born in Tennessee, wife's name Linda? Louisa?, age 34, born in Tennessee. Lewis Couch's mother, Charity Couch, age 82, born in Kentucky. Lewis' children were: Charity E., 18, William, 12, Nancy, 8, Carroll, 7, Lizzie, 4, and Callie Louisa Couch, 2. Callie was my grandmother. #3 Jess, In a previous message I suggested you check the 1870 Census for Van Buren, AR. My great grandfather William Lewis Couch married Zenoria Brinkley. I believe Elizabeth to be her sister, and that she married William Lewis Couch' brother John F. Couch. I believe Elizabeth and John lived in southwestern Oklahoma near Davis. My great grandmother, Zenoria, is buried in the Blanchard, Oklahoma cemetery. I also have found that John F. Couch was of Cherokee ancestry and did have a Cherokee Roll number.

My great grandmother, Zenoria, is buried in the Blanchard, Oklahoma cemetery. I also have found that John F. Couch was of Cherokee ancestry and did have a Cherokee Roll number. And finally, my latest message to Ray Hatton. Hi Ray...thanx for your reply...you did indeed reply to a Genforum mesage suggesting I check on the Zenoria Brinkley and Elizabeth Brinkley connection. I went off on a tangent because I could never prove/disprove anything. I actually "assumed" that my Couch was a descendant of Irvin Couch, which would make your connection a line I would not pursue. My change in thinking NOW is that indeed Zenoria and Elizabeth were sisters and the Hugh/Lewis/William/John connection was indeed my family. My first positive proof was when I got a copy of the 1900 Census for Indian Territory. There is found John Couch and Elizabeth along with the right children, including my grandmother, Elsie. From there I went back to the next available census, 1880. In Faulkner Co, Arkansas is found side by side...My John and Elizabeth; their brother Hugh....then Lewis...living side by side. They had to be brothers, etc....And then from thence I went to the 1870 Census in Van Buren Arkansas...and in one household # 51 in Craig Township are the following: Lewis Couch, his wife "Zenordia", their children (5) total; Charity (Powell) age 70; L.A. Plummer son in law of Lewis, his wife Mary (Lewis Dtr); then William Brinkley age 16 (I can't tie him into Zenoria or Elizabeth yet, but sure he fits somewhere); and finally John Couch and his wife Elizabeth! All in the same household. This is pretty good proof to all of my present "assumptions". 1.) That Elizabeth is Zenoria's sister, thus dtr of Simeon...that John F. is the son of William Lewis Couch... I have downloaded from FTMaker a file which includes your line (you probably sent it to them) and added Elizabeth and John F into the families... I have attached a coupla of reports showing these connections... I will continue to work on these and follow up later... I must emphasize two things: 1.) the 1900 Census gives John's birthday as 1849 not 1870..so I was 20 years off in my original thinking.It gives Elizabeth Brinkley's birth as 1851.again I was off by 20 years.it shows the correct siblings along with my grandmother.their birt dates coincide.and it shows that John's father was born in Tennessee not North Carolina, but his mother (Charity Powell) shows being born in Tennessee. And another fit is the daughter of John and Elizabeth living with them along with her husband, who was named Stephens.this fits our family remembering that Nancy Couch did indeed marry a man named Stephens.. 2.) That the 1880 Census in Faulkner/Union Co/Ark show all of these living side by side and Charity living with the Lewis Couch, who Ray Hatton and I agree must be William Lewis Couch b 1823, son of John Couch and Charity Powell. Here is the descendant report showing Zenoria's line down to the Hatton family.. Descendants of John Couch Generation No. 1 1.

Jess good to hear from you!!! I donated the book. I lucky enough to get a good copy of Jim Dodson and I had them reprinted. I am glad at least one person has found the book. I'm not smart enough to put anything on the net, so it would be good if you did!! What have you found in Union county??

Kay, Yes we have written to each other. I found a John Couch married to Bethenia E. Dismukes in 1857 in Pike Co. Ga. Don't know if this is the one, couldn't find anything online for the death or cememtery. paula

Robert, There are about 12 copies all in the children and grandchildren families. Uncle Bill Butch ran a few copies off on his copier about 10 years ago. I have one copy that Grandmama had in her hand writing. The book I REMEMBER, is written about her childhood in Woodland, Ga. Some photos,history(family lines) on Couch, McCoy, Lee, Lloyd, and Harris. I would like for someone in Arkansas to id. my family photo of Couch family in Arkansas. I don't know if anyone connected to William Couch and Rebecca Pierce line is still around. Thanks, Paula

Robert, I am leaving on a trip (seek, search, and disappointment) but will answer when I return. However, the Orrel G. Couch is the son of John Couch who died in Hopkins county Ky in 1840. I have nothing before the Captain John Couch who was born in England as well as his eldest son, James. Bev Blum has been the one who traced these names that far back and I will contact her again when I get home but to my knowledge no connection before Capt John Couch has been made. While you are searching, you might consider there was also a Solomon (something like that) living in VA in about that time. My line has been researched more thru the links to Massie, Earle, Howard, etc. Also the name of Prince is there also. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Couch, Robert H.

If James Couch was born in 1739 Capt John Couch was probably born somehwere between 1700-1720 give or tåke a few years before 1700.

Thus Thomas Couch Sr was most likely born somewhere between 1690-1700. Could my Thomas and your Captain John possibly be brothers?
