I have Reilley/Riley family that came to Oregon Co., MO in about 1890 with no known connection. So far I don't know why they came there and although they are buried there, are not connected to any other family that was there previous to their arrival. That could be the same with the Couch family. My family was from Kentucky and there was a large Couch family there.
