2502 Methuselah (variously, Mathusala), son of Enoch, lived for 969 years, from 3317 B.C. to 2348 B.C. In Anunnaki lore, Methuselah was known as Matushal (aka Who By The Bright Waters Raised). He married Edna, daughter of Azrial, and had three sons: Lamech, Rake El, and Eliakim. Methuselah (I8061)
 
2503 Military Service: BET 1861 AND 1864 Civil War in Co. K 3rd NY Infantry
Note: Hiram L. COUCH learned the molder's trade and worked in a foundry. Then he joined the army and served in the Civil War in Co. K 3rd NY Infantry, enlisting in April 1861. Hiram was promoted to Captain on merit at Pawnee Landing, Folly Island, SC. On the 16th May 1864 he was shot badly in the arm and it was amputated. He was in hospital for 7 months or more and was eventually discharged due to ill health. He belonged to several local lodges. Hiram never married. [Census info shows that he lived in the family home with his parents, along with the Giles PLATT family for many years.]

2510 Misc Source Notes from Nancy Bowers family tree site on April 21, 2009:

Update, Feb, 2002.
My research has led me to the strong possibility that the father of John Carter was James Carter, born about 1800 in Kentucky - possibly Montgomery County KY. I also have reason to believe that John's mother was Margurite REFFETT, also from Montgomery County KY.

Sources:
1.Doyleen Turner, wife of Jim Turner, who is a descendant of Mary Carter and Benjamin Turner.
2. John and Richard Sutton, grandsons of Ida Carter Sutton.
Thanks cousins! I could never have gotten this far without your help!

Doug Couch to Franklin Delano Roosevelt Genealogical Relationship

1. One lineage of ancestors ascending from Douglas Eugene Couch (born California 1947) goes back through Nicholas Snow (born England 1600) to Nicholas Snow (born England 1530, married to Elizabeth (Katherine) Harwoode).

2. Nicholas Snow (born England 1530) is father to Nicholas Snow (born England 1578, married to Elizabeth Rowlles).

3. Nicholas Snow (born England 1578) and Elizabeth Rowlles had sons Nicholas Snow (born England 1600, married to Constance Hopkins, Mayflower passenger) and Anthony Snow (born abt 1629, married to Abigail Warren).

4. One lineage of ancestors ascending from Franklin Delano Roosevelt (born 1882, married to Anna Eleanor Roosevelt) goes back through Anthony Snow (born abt 1629) to Nicholas Snow (born England 1530, married to Elizabeth (Katherine) Harwoode).

5. Although distant and removed, this is a 10th Cousin relationship.


Note by Doug Couch: The birth dates of alleged brothers, Nicholas Snow (born 1600) and Anthony Snow (born abt 1629), and said to be born by the same parents seems rather unlikely. My guess is that someone gathering genealogy information (from which I obtained this lineage connection information) made certain assumptions of relationship that do not exist, or had incorrect information about their various births or parentage through other spouses not named in this information. Thus, before presenting this as lineage for any official purpose, these facts should be researched and determined as possible, utilizing well-researched lineages providing corroborating documentation, particularly primary documents. Other resources list three children of Nicholas 1578, William, Nicholas and Anthony, all born circa 1600 (i.e.-unknown).

2525 Moved NC to Drew Co., AR 1851. Spent some time at Attala Co., MS enroute to Drew.

During War Between the States, became Deputy QM under Maj. Latimore in the state service, and for some time was stationed at Fulton, after which he was detailed to steamboat service, and was captured at Poplar Bluff on Bayou Bartholomew, this being the only time he was exposed to Yankee bullets during his service. Soon after being captured he was paroled, and on June 4, 1865, returned to his home to find most of his property destroyed but immediately set to work to make good his losses, and more than did so. He died at his home 5 miles from Monticello 1908...his wife 1905.

2526 Moved west with father in the early 1890's to San Luis Valley, Colorado, died 9?30?1929, and interred in Hagerman, New Mexico. Associated with brother, James Andrew. In business for awhile (See article under name of James Andrew Goodner), but moved to Artesia, New Mexico, in the 1900's and remained there the remainder of his life, farming. Goodner, William Henry (I10313)
 
2527 Moved with parents to GA before 1850 to Milltown, Lowndes Co...merchandising.

He was one of the two who represented Berrion County in the Secession Convention...Milledgeville, GA, January 19, 1861. He voted for secession and true to his conviciton and his vote he immediately volunteered for the conflict. He became a member of Capt. L.J. Knight's organization of Co. K of the 29th Co. of Minute Men. He later rose to the rank of captain; then was promoted to the postion of major of the 29th GA, which position he held until he was killed at the battle of Jackson, MS July 13, 1863. He left a widow, who was Miss Satira Lovejoy, dau. of James L. of Clinch Co. A few years after the war she married Robert S. Holtzendorff.

2528 Mr. Barrett, previous husband of Gov. William Walker's second wife, was the brother of Gov. Walker's first wife (who married the Governor as a widow after the Governor became a widower himself). Barrett Mr. (I7094)
 
2529 Mr. William Brewster, Mary, his wife, with two sons, whose names were Love and Wrestling. And a boy was put to him called Richard More, and another of his brothers. The rest of his children were left behind and came over afterwards.

There is no clear evidence that William's wife's maiden name was Wentworth. Also alleged to be Mary Wyrall...also unsubstantiated.

2572 No record has been found for Octavia's birth as an Egnor or death with any last name ascribed to her spouses. Family lore has it that she was an Indian of Cherokee descent, but no further information was given. As she doesn't show in the 1860 census and then shows in the 1870 census as 14 years old, it is possible she was informally adopted into the family. Without U.S., VA/WV or Cherokee records showing this, it is not possible to determine.
If she was Cherokee, none of the ancestors shown here were actually hers...unless some of them were actually Cherokee.
Interestingly, her grandchildren through her daughter, Mary Frances Horton Atkins, never provided either a first or last name or a specific tribe for Octavia when asked, even though decades later it came to light that Mary's oldest daughter at least, did know her name and tribe. This would be congruent with her children instructing her grandchildren throughout their lives to not reveal this information to avoid persecution and possible relocation as an Indian.
Information previously unavailable: A granddaughter of Octavia whose mother grew up away from her siblings after her parents died in 1928 & 1931, said that DNA testing has been done by one of the granddaughter's siblings, and no Native American blood was indicated. Those grandchildren had also been told about being descended from Native Americans (as had the granddaughter's mother's siblings). If more information comes to light and is suitable for showing here, I will add it at that time.

2593 Note in brief clarification related to the allegation that Jacob Harley was the "Earl of Oxford" by Doug Couch, owner of this website:

This family legend seems to be unfounded. One website (site not recorded) which cited this "title" stated that it was a term of endearment, rather than a bona fide English title. This is a more likely scenario.

The earliest Earls of Oxford (20) all lived too early to have been the father of a Jacob Harley married to Mary Adkins, except perhaps the last, Aubrey de Vere, the 20th Earl of Oxford, rather than the 3rd as often cited as Jacob's father. Records from peerage show both those Earls who succeeded to the position, and those who did not. The Earls of Oxford held the position from 1110-1703.

Also called Earl of Oxford, were the Earls of Oxford and Mortimer. The time period for these Earls is more compatible with the Jacob legend, holding the position from 1661-1853. Of these, the 3rd Earl, Edward, had three sons, Edward (4th Earl), John (father of Edward the 5th Earl), and Thomas (Mayor of London). None of these more contemporary Earls' cited descendants were named Jacob. This does not prove there was no Jacob son; however, it "may" indicate that such a son was illegitimate and not in line for the Earldom.

There were also the Earls of Oxford and Asquith from 1852 to the present day. These Earls were all born too late to have a son named Jacob married to Mary.

If Jacob was known to be a descendant or other relative of an Earl of Oxford, and thus lovingly called an Earl by his family, no connection has been shown. One or two authors of genealogy works have cited him as such, but unless someone produces the basis of such a citation, it has no value.

If there had been a Jacob, Earl of Oxford, or a Jacob in line to become Earl of Oxford, it is unlikely he would run off to North America and abandon such a vast wealth, and there are protocols and expectations involved. It is also unlikely that such a man would have a son, Jacob (Jr.), who would inherit all this wealth and then ignore it in favor of a trip across the Allegheny's, as is sometimes also part of the family legend. Whether a term of endearment or simply a wild family tale, there is little reason to accept it as a fact. If Jacob returned to England, where is the record of such a voyage, as there surely would be one? 
Stover, Jacob Jr. (I5394)

COUCH, Sally Maria (I3333)
 
2613 Notes for Sarah Sally (Reed) Litherland:
Sources indicate that Sarah Sally (Reed) Litherland said her maiden name
was Reed., but records
at the court house say her maiden name was Litherland. Possible hand
written error,or she was a Litherland , once married to a Reed. Later
notes say she is a granddaughter of John Litherland who
possibly is the brother of James Litherland Sr.. Her mother was suppose
to have been married 4
times. Her mother`s name may have been Catherine,born 1809, or Amy. She
may have been married
to a John K. (?).
