John Couch married 3 women and no more. First Mary (Polly) Boone Second after her death, married Elizabeth James who was divorced by Patrick Campbell JR after a very short marriage. Third after death of Elizabeth James, John married Widow Mary Patterson, and yes her data is recorded in Richmond, Virginia. Mary Patterson has no children by JOHN COUCH - both were in old age and JOHN being so obese in physical size was never able to remarry a fourth time before he died in 1830 / 1833 era. Hope that helps clear up the Mary Patterson marriages and her children. JOHN in CA
