Ellen,

I read with interest your lines of James and John Couch. Where would I find
documentation on John Couch I and James Couch I being born in England. Do
youu have sources on this you could share? Where in England were they?
When did they come to America? Since we all share DNA with James and John
you may have the key to our English ancestors and can help determine the
date they first arrived in the Colonies (VA?). Any infomation or sources
you can point to would be most helpful and a major breadthrough in Couch
Genealogy. Thanks for sharing this information.
