I would love the extra info, but how can I help you in turn, what were you referring to, plus I always heard there was a big question pertaining to Elijah's parentage, and when I had tried to put Nancy and Noble together as i had thought they should be, someone wrote me a not very nice letter and informed me this wasn't so and that I should get my information straightened out, so I erased everything I had had on there and just started over, so I've become very confused and was hoping to find more information to back me up so that I would have a viable argument next time someone would say such to me. But I will be glad to try to help however I can, and I would appreciate any help and thank you.

Florence, Ovitt & others.   I am also related to the Couch & Campbells.  The current Couch family is trying to put the old family back together.  We are Couch DNA group # 5 with Bill Couch's genweb site.   We have made much new discovers with the family.  There are 2 groups of Couch's in Group # 5.  The Carolina's group & the Va/Ky group.  The Va/Ky group were never in the Carolinas,  It is our current belief the connection between the two groups may be in England. Cornwald to be exact.   We get together every two years, with new current information. In the spring 2013 we will be together in Texas.  Hopefully we will have the Va/Ky Couch's all together.  Dr Richard Couch of Okla has research on his group in Va & then Ky. The other group is John Couch Of Ashe Co NC & Ky, that we have to put back together.   If  you would like to join us with information, let me know & I will see that you get an invite to the Couch My Family website. And we would like to add your family to the current Tree.

I am attaching a picture of it. The story about Samuel Johnston and Mary Wise may be true, but it is also possible that it came from another tragic story. Samuel's grandson, Levi Pennington Johnston, born in 1863, was a county judge in Jackson County. In August 1898, he shot and killed his wife, Armina Bowling Rader Johnston, and then shot himself to death. There is a newspaper article about this tragedy. I have found Dr. Samuel Johnston (b.1808) listed as buried in three different cemeteries--Moores Creek in Jackson County, the Johnson Cemetery and another cemetery at Daisy in Perry County. I still can't figure out where his father, Samuel Johnston born 1777 is buried even though he is listed in 2 cemetery lists--the Johnson Cemetery and the one at Daisy. Thank you for your help. Samuel 1777 is my gggg and samuel 1808 my ggg grandfather. Betty Johnson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
