These are also my Fouch Family. I have a marriage certificate for John Fouch and Margaret Danner in Maryland. My cousin who did Fouch genealogy gave me a little information on Fouch's. I believe I descend from the Amos Fouch line. Many Blessings, Pam D. Anthem, AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "J. A.
