Bill, What conflicts are you talking about? What proof would you accept? Thomas's Will names Children. And these are all found in the 1790 Spartanburg County Census. Then the same names appear in Greenville County, SC next to each other on the banks of the north Fork of the Saluda River. Their original land records there are on microfilm. I have seen these. They also appear in the 1800 census of Greenville County, SC. If, as some suggest, Benjamin, James and Isaac are sons of old Thomas then they too appear in land deals and census records of Greenville County, SC. I do know that some of these folks (Benjamin and another John for instance) appear in both Spatanburg County, and Greenville Counties in the 1800 census. So, unless they sent postcards home telling of their move to Greeenvile and we get hold of some of these we will never have proof positive. So, this is the working hypothesis I shall try to prove. If you have any hard data to show this hypothesis is wrong I would be glad to accept it as proof. However, negative generalities such as "I don't think they are a part of the old Thomas family....."just too many conflicts to be a part of that line without some good proof" will not really be helpful in proving the hypothesis or disproving it. Look forward to seeing you evidence disproving this hypothesis. I simply responded to your inquiry about research into the Couches of Greenville County, SC. Robert H.
