Eddie, You are a close match to my grand uncle. And I have just discovered that my ancestor was not David Couch, but Jonathan Couch, son of John Couch, Sr. of Lower Alloways Creek, Salem Co., NJ. My line closely matched the DNA of Brad Couch who is a descendent of Meshach Couch. My line went North and West into Ohio from New Jersey. But Meshach Couch went South from Maryland and Delaware into Guilford Co., North Carolina. It is possible that your Susan Couch descends from Meshach Couch's line.
