John Couch son of Drury Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2003 11:14:19 -0500 To: COUCH-L@rootsweb.com Three years ago, I made a trip to Arkansas to research the Couch family of Magnolia/Calhoun/Union county. By accident, I went to the little town of washington, Arkansas (the first capital of the confederacy). Neat town great history....anyway...they have a schoolhouse there which houses the"Soutwest Arkansas Regional Archives"..I of course popped in to look around...what a gold mine...one of the books located there was one called "The History of Old Calhoun" written in 1930. They have a whole section with the story of the Couch Family written by Mrs. W.M. Jones. She details in about 6 pages with several pictures (William Couch b 1798; Quincy and his wife: rev Thomas G. Couch and his wife; and of course, S.O. Couch)the story of William and Rebecca's story...great stuff...I took photocopies....it is a small book only 37 pages...but it has biographical stories on several of the families from that time period. They are: Dees, Dixon, Baker, Barnett, Booth,Couch, Foster, Gunnels, Hutcheson,McKay,Newton, Owsley,Paschall, and Terrell. It also has a good overview of the history of the area, with many individuals mentioned..The Couch family has the longest section.. I also visted the cemetery in Magnolia and tho I didn't take pictures, I wrote most of the Couch names and info down....my wife was very impatient....William and rebecca are there, along with many of their descendants... I also vistited the "library" now house in the electric/city utility building...I personally saw and handled many land, wills, slave records, estate records, eta ll of William and his children...especially interesting were the slave inventories...William owned many....Irvin himself was a large plantation holder who owed 50 slaves... I have not typed the cemetery info into the computer yet...longhand only...hope to get it done...someday....but I do have a phocopy of this book...I will get it scanned into my computer soon and I will share it with any and all of you who are interested....
