Good Morning!
I have a cousin who is a member of the DAR & will try to search
for documentation on Sarah/Sally couch's birth, but has in her
records that John S. Bowling, III(s/o Rev Jesse Bowling & Mary
Pennington) did marry Polly M. Lewis(the d/o Sarah/Sally Couch
& James Lewis, II(Jr).
Sarah/Sally Couch was "supposedly" a d/o John Couch & A Mary Polly
Boone.
My cousin said that it might be a couple of days before she could get back
to me, but to be patient.
It is really from Rev Jesse Bowling & Mary Pennington's son-
Justice Bolling- that is really my line, but Sarah/Sally Couch
crosses into other my lines as well.
Have A Nice Day!

I forgot:
Any extra help on this would be of great value. If there "was" a valid
Mary she needs to be found, as her offspring married back into the
Elizabeth Couch line...
So it would be good for both lineages to find her in some fashion.
OR find out the "Johns" have been crossed in some fashion. Thus messing
up all.
Not to many will take the challange of really finding her, aside for
just using the countless "internet" files and thus being done with the
matter. {And we all know they are screwed up}

There is a matter of historical matter to be gained and preserved.

And also... To make the Boone clan eat crow !!! As they have flat out
denied in written letters any "Mary/John" union.
I dont mean the "internet" Boones. I refer to the Boone Historical
Society
If Mary can be proven, it would be of great importance for all involved.

A person on this list , next week is taking a full week of their
vacation to go to the Cherokee data centers. and also to research the
DAWS rolls for a Mary.
Its also of vast importance finding her, as it may lead to opening a
door to who Johns parents were and brothers sisters.

Im my thoughts, although DNA is good for some things, to much strong
emphasis has been placed on it and not valid accounts and documents.

Its pretty clear alot in this "Couch" line has been based on a massive
case of cantagion. I.E a friend of a friend said it or I heard it, so
its so..thus is spreads like a upwind wildfire. later people then claim
it to be gospel.

With out valid info to thus bring it forth for a solid basis
of undisputed info for all.

So where will this all go?? who knows..
