Thanks Donna, you are right about Abby. Isaac and Feby Couch are my gg-grandparents. Their son Juder did marry Abigale 'Abby' Couch b. abt 1847. Abby was a daughter of Ira (the one they called Si/Cy) Couch b. abt 1812 and Perminia 'Nina' Combs b. abt 1821. Ira 'Si' was a son of Martin Couch b. 1715 and Sarah Sally Hall. 1850 Perry co Ky census - Dist 1- transcribed by Fay Lewis Keith #19 -Series: M432 Roll: 216 Page: 398 Ira 'Cy' Couch age 25 - farmer- 250.00 - Ky Peraminia age 23-Ky Couch age 12 (1838) -Ky Eli age 09 (1841) -Ky Wiley age 07 (1843) -Ky Jane age 06 (1844) -Ky Abigal age 03 (1847) -Ky Hope this helps Fay On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 3:01 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Fay, > Your last sentence is so true for many of our families without a lot of paper > documentation.
