Could you be of the Couch who married into Turney family - Madison Co Alabama? I ask becaue those Turneys moved to the area ca 1815-1818 same time their sister Rebekoh Looney moved, but around mid 1820s one of their brothers moved to Lincoln Co TN (he was amongst the Hancock, Davis, Gilliam, Timmons and his line connects to them)......anyway, all these Turneys were coming from Clear Forks Smith Co TN (today DeKalb on Cannon border). The Jacob B. Turney SR b 1771 who moved from Smith Co TN to Lincoln Co TN, late 1830s they moved on to Boone Co Arkansas.....but this whole bunch of Arkansas Turneys (3 of them moved there) connect to some not only from LCT but also Alabama - such as Strickland, DeLoach, Klepper/Clepper, etc. Any of those names sound familiar? That whole Turney, Gilliam, DeLoach, Klepper group connect thru the wives.

Mary, I do not know of any Turneys who married Couches. We have evidence of the Couch folks in Madison County MS (Now AL) as early as 1808. In the January 1809 MS Territory census four Couches were listed as heads of household. John Couch Sr, John Jr. and Thomas Couch who lived on adjacent farms along Indian Creek. I think these three may have all been related and moved from Greenville, SC around 1897-1808. They were in Huntsville Area until about 1820 when all three show up in Lawrence County, AL. Now the other Couch person in the 1809 census was Nicholas Couch who may have been a son of Jacob Couch of Greene County, TN. Nicholas and his sons moved to Crawford County, AR and were there for the 1860 census if not earlier. Some say my Couches (John SR, JR and Thomas) may have been in Lincoln County, TN prior to their move to Madison County, (AL) in 1808. I know that Lincoln County was not formed until 1807 or 1809 from Bedford County, TN. I do have some relatives who were among the Couches in Bedford Co, TN.
