Pat, Joseph Couch, son Thomas Couch of South Carolina lived in Laurens Co, SC and died there in 1811. His son Joseph and other siblings moved first to Franklin County, Georgia and then to Bedford County, Tennesse. One son William Thomas Jefferson Couch was b 1783 and married Rhoda Patton in 1810. They had one son named Thomas R./M. Couch who was born Aaug 13, 1818 and supposed died Dec 26, 1821. There are several of the members of this Couch family who moved to Missouri. Several of these children of Willam Thomas Jefferson Couch were born between 1812 and 1830 including a daughter born in 1825. I suspect that some of this Couch family who went to Missouri were related to your Thomas Couch but I do not have a Thomas Couch b 1835 in TN. There is a Couch-Patton Cemetery near Wartrace Tennessee that is the final resting place for many of this Couch family. It is in a remote location and I visited it last year. I hope this may help.
