    Thomas Couch, of Fairfield, removed to Redding prior to the Revolution, and settled on

    Their children were: Sarah, born August 9th, 1773, died young; Thomas, born September
    23d, 1774; Jonathan, born February 13th, 1777, who was the father of Major-General Couch,

    At the outbreak of the Revolution Thomas Couch enlisted in the patriot army, and was one of
    the band of heroes who were present with Montgomery at the siege of Quebec. He left his
    wife with their young children in Fairfield. When Tryon moved on that town, Mrs. Couch had
    what furniture and grain she could gather put into an ox cart drawn by two yoke of oxen, and
    started for Redding, where she owned land in her own right. She followed on horseback,
    carrying her two children in her arms. At the close of the war, Thomas joined his wife in
    Redding, where they continued to reside until death.
