I am trying to find a connection with the Brinkley family to the Couch
family...My GG Grandfather, John Couch b. 1870 in Ark ?...md "Lizzie"...I
suppose Elizabeth Brinkley....she was born in Arkansas for sure (Death
Certificate)...I believe this John Brinkley's father to be William Couch who
was in the Marion Co Ark Census in 1880. I also believe that this William
to be the son of Irvin Couch from Columbia Co, Ark. There are many
descendants of the Couch Family in Columbia County as they were one of the
founding families there, coming from Georgia in 1853....there are no
Brinkleys listed in Census/death/marriages or any records. However, I have
been to the cemetery in Magnolia, Columbia Co and buried adjacent to Guinett
and Quincy Couch is a BRINKLEY....It is a very large memorial and reads"
C.B. Brinkley..b Feb 4, 1849 and died May 16, 1893. Now, I believe him to be
a close friend of the Couches, perhaps coming from Georgia with them...One
reason is the burial sites together. Anothere reason is that Quincy named
one of his children C.B.....even tho some records list her as a
girl....another reason ios that Quincy's son, Irvin Wingfield Couch had a
son named Charles Brinkley Couch b 1892....his nickname was Jack...If this
C.B. Brinkley was the father of Elizabeth, he would have been abt 21yrs of
age when she was born in 1870....I have scoured the records for
Brinkleys...there are a lot of them in Crawford County, along with several
Couches, but there has to be some connection in Columbia County.....I understand there is a Brinkley Arkansas in Monroe or Lee County....Is there any Brinkleys in their early settlers...??can you
or anyone help..
