I want to verify if this is correct. Is Eli "Eel" Couch the same as the Ira Couch you mentioned as son of Martin Couch? I would appreciate your checking the veracity of this. I have looked at the Charts of Bill Couch on the internet and have found one Bige Couch, ancestor of Tim Couch. According to the Charts, Eli "Eel" Couch (1810-1885) son of Martin Couch was b in NC and married Mahala Sally Sizemore. Eli's son was Felix Couch (1860) who married Lucy Lewis (b 1875). Next comes Bige Couch. The chart ends here but in earlier correspondence with you, Ron and others there is then a Bige Couch Jr in Leslie Co, KY. Bige Jr is the father of Tim Couch's dad Elbert Wayne Couch. Then Tim was born in 1977. Is that about right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
