I rec'd copy of Henry Couch's birth record, It shows his parents as Elijah Couch and Ann Davidson. Are any of the Children I mentioned earlier your father?? Is the cemeteries you mentioned close to Bullskin or Panco areas,or Brutis or Yerkes KY?

I AM LOOKING FOR A LIGE COUCH COULD BE SHORT FOR ELIJAH. HE MARRIED ANNE?. THEY HAD TWO DAUGHTERS I KNOW OF SARAH AND LILLIE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THEY HAD ANY OTHER CHILDREN.IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION I WOULD APPRECIATE SHARING. THANK YOU

I don't know of Lillie, there is another Elijah though that was younger.
This Elijah had a son- Henry and I think Murdy and Carlos, don't know about daughters.
Henry had a daughter- Sarah-1922

Valerie, This is probably a long shot but I have a Joseph Elijah (b 1759 SC d 1811 Laurens Co, SC who married Nancy Ann. If this looks likely, I may have a full list of their descendents. Let me know if you want me to explore further.

Valerie: I noticed in the 1910 Clay County, KY Census Magisterrial District #? Couch, Lige age 37 head of household, Ann wife age 47 Lillie daughter age 15 Sarah daughter age 12 Meridia? or Murdia son age 11 Carlo Son age 6 Davidson, James? step-son age 21 This is the same group as my granfather Henry - he was already married but lived near by and was the oldest. I didn't know he had sisters.
1920 census shows:
Same place but called now at that time Clay County , township or other division: Bull Skin Precinct #9.
Couch, Elijah head age 49 Ann wife 52 Carlo son 15
Sarah would have been 22 and Lillie 25 and married by then.
Hope this is any help. I have not received death cert. on Elijah yet, received Ann Couch but says parents unknown. Since Elijah had a step son with last name Davidson, I assume she was married before (at least 7 years before she married Elijah.)
