Ellen, My husband is the Couch descendant. He's from the Crawford Co., Ark bunch. May family surnames are Jarrel, Claxton, Mathis, Mooney, Sills, Duncan and Graham. But we've already published a Claxton family history book where I found 2 Couch women married to Claxton men here in Ok. Can't get much on there backgrounds. In fact nothing at all so far. My Jarrel family lived in Tishomingo. My dad has an infant sister buried there. I think it was Tishomingo or Grandma and grandpa married there in 1905. Been awhile since I looked at that info. Will see if I can locat anything at all. Nancy --- emcht <emcht@oecadvantage.net> wrote: > Thanks, I was told and didn't follow any more that > there were no obits for > her.
