Hello, Alex. I live in Tyler, Texas. Today, with the assistance of cousin, Bill Couch, of Arkansas (www.couchgenweb.com), we have prepared as much information as we could on your classmate. I am going to copy and paste it below, but if you will send me an email at either of these addresses, I will send you a Microsoft Word copy that should be easier to work with. My email addresses are: couchgen39@att.net or 4610dc@att.net.
I would very much like to know any more information you have on your classmate, Thomas M. Couch, how he happened to come to Texas, etc. I think the information we are giving you below is correct. Also, I would love to have a copy of your write up when you complete it. If this is not the Thomas M. Couch you are looking for, please advise me.
Thanks,
David Couch
