FOLLOWING IS AN INTERVIEW BETWEEN IRA "SI" COUCH 

AND REV. JOHN "JAY" DICKEY IN THE DICKEY DIARY 

Date is April 27, 1898, Place is Big Creek, KY. PAGE 2277 

(Microfilm is Available From Latter Day Saints Church Files) 

"I was born in ............Co., KY 1812. My father Martin Couch came to Ky. from New River (on Holston). Old John Campbell's wife was my father's sister. Old James Lewis' wife was another.

My father settled at the Mouth of Lick Branch in Perry County. He had seven sons, Joe, Thomas, Eli, John, Charlie, Ira. All these are dead but me. He had a brother John who came with him. John had sons: Wm., Andy, Lige, Dick, the latter died young. My father also had another brother James whose son lives in Clay "Stutter" John.

My grandfather John Couch came with them.... My mother was Sally Hall, Aunt of Philip Hall. They came a long time before I was born. My father was born before his parents came here."

                                                                         ~~~~~~~~ 

In the above letter please let me add a couple of things that I know as the great-grandson of "SI" Couch. JPD

Martin and Sally Hall Couch were both born in 1785 and were both listed in the 1850 Perry Co., KY census. One of them died in 1856. The other shortly after. John Couch, father of Martin, is listed in the 1830 Perry Co. Census.

Polly Couch, d/o John Couch, was the wife of "Old John" Campbell. Sallie Couch, d/o John Couch, was the w/o James Lewis II. Both were sisters of Martin Couch.

If Sarah is the Aunt of Philip Hall, as the article states, she must be the d/o of John Hall SR who married Mary "Polly" Hash in Grayson Co., NC. Her father never came to KY.

According to the information I have Martin was the only child of John Couch

and Elizabeth James Campbell (widow of Patrick Campbell). Information from

Hallibee Anderson Couch proves that Martin married Sarah Hall and that Sarah

was the d/o John Hall, SR of VA. Hallibee also said that Sarah had brother

named Thomas. I have extensive info in my files to back up these claims. Info

is filed under Hash and Hall. Death date is from Defeated Creek Diary in Perry County Newsletter AUG. 1995 edition
