Robert the LDS has a marriage date for Thomas Couch and Elizabeth Dunn as 14 Aug 1826 but does not have one for Thomas And Francis Dunn. Now the chart I have at http://www.couchgenweb.com/couch2/john3.htm This is not that John and Elizabeth, I think this John was born 1793 and a son of a Thomas and unknow. The Thomas and unknow also had son the abvove John 1793, Joshua 1805 ,Ellis 1810 and William T 1814 The Above John Couch descendants made it into Missouri. but I have not been able to locate a Joshua, Ellis or William T. to match up with those dates? Does anyone have a census that will match up with any of them ? We Don't have anyone from this line to take the DNA test yet either. Bill Couch Then went to Luneburg County, VA. What a > surprise!
