Becky,
In looking at the 1830 Ohio, Franklin Co., Pleasant
twp, page 55 on ancestry.com there was:
Martha Couch with 2 males 5-10 years old
2 males 10-15 years old
1 male 15-20 years old
1 female 30-40

1840 Franklin Co., Pleasant Twp, p 144 I found two
Couch entries
Martha Couch with family memebers:
2 males 15-20
2 males 20-30
1 female 50-60

S. Couch 1 male 20-30
1 female under 5
1 female 15-20 years old.
The S. Couch would fit in the age braket for the
15-20 year old on the 1830 census.

Hope this helps some. Didn't have time to look
further.
Nancy
