Couch James H. Couch b. 11 Oct. 1884 d. 14 Apr. 1925 buried at Millsaps Baptist Church Cemetery on Ritchie Creek Road in Fannin Co., Ga. James and Margaret lived in Cad, Fannin Co., Ga. and ran the Cad post office there. Margaret and James had the following children, that we know of thus far; 1) Floyd Couch b. abt. 1907 marr. to Louise (maiden name unknown) children; Megan? 2) Ethel Couch b. abt. 1908/09 marr.

Minus (maiden name unknown) children; (twins) Peggy and Penny, Joann, and another (name unknown at this time) Margaret marr. 2nd George Washington "Wash" Allison abt. 1940. There were no children born to this union. Margaret had a sister named Bessie Davenport born abt. 1890 and married "Belt" Dover. Their children were Bill and Floyd. Margaret also had a brother called "Bud" Davenport who married Maggie (maiden name unknown). They had a son named Marshall. Any help would be greatly appreiated. Thank you.

Here he is on the 1900 census: 196875 COUCH HAMILTON Apr 1852 Georgia 48 M W GA GA FANNIN COLWELL Harriet Mar 1840 North Carolina Vashtie Apr 1876 Georgia (daughter) Margaret Jan 1878 Georgia Harriet C Mar 1880 Georgia Pask,Ellen M May 1895 Georgia (grand daughter) Couch,James Oct 1884 Georgia (grand son) Hamilton and Harriet have been married 24 years. Harriet has had 3 children. This is how the census read, but something does not add up. I don't think that Hamilton is old enough to have a grandson. On the 1910 census James H Couch does list his father as born in GA and mother as born in NC.

I find this most interesting. A Couch marries up with a Davenport. As a freshman in college at the University of North Alabaam I found myself in an English Class sitting next to a guy named Davenport. Our English Comp Teacher Kitty Jones thought we were putting her on. Good luck on your search.
