Hello Couch Researchers: I am hoping someone out there will connect with the following: William A. COUCH, b. abt 1806; d. abt 1852, perhaps Davis Co., IA Married (1) Unknown; Children: John Couch, b. abt 1834 Joseph K.(?) Couch, b. abt 1843 Married (2) Julia Ann Thomas, 4 Feb 1849, Greene Co., MO; Children: Rodney Couch, b. abt 1850, Soap Creek, Davis Co., IA William Couch, b. abt 1852, Soap Creek, Davis Co., IA Census: 1847, Davis Co., IA (State Census) William Couch (3) 1850, Davis Co., IA, Soap Creek Twp. William Croush, 44, b. G(?) Julia A., 21, b. NC John, 16, b. IA Joseph, 7, b. IA 1852, Davis Co., IA (State Census), Soap Creek Twp William Crouch, 2 males, 1 female, 1 voter, 1 militia The 1852 census is the last record I can find for William Couch. By 1860, his wife Julia Ann Thomas is married to Barnabas B. King and shows up in the 1860 Census, Hopkins Co., TX. Julia’s 2 Couch sons, Rodney, 12 and William, 8 are in the household, as well as her two King daughters, Clara King, 3, b. MO, and Ellen King, 1, b. AR. By 1870, the family is in Farmersville, Collin Co., TX, with the Couch boys still part of the family. In the 1880 Census, Collin Co., the two Couch sons are listed in the family of their widowed mother, Julia. In addition, Rodney Couch has wife, Lora (Love?), and a daughter Ellen Couch. I have lost track of Rodney and William Couch after 1880 Census. I am descended from Julia Ann Thomas through her second marriage to Barnabas B. King. I am desperate to find someone who knows her, and I would like very much to find descendants of her Couch sons. Thank you for reading all of this. Any help greatly appreciated.
