Georgia
The Gordon's had a house at Crawfish Springs that
was used
as a Hospital and Headquarters during the Battle Of Chickamauga. Samuel Couch's
place is shown on many old maps of the battle as being just about where the
Chickamauga cemetery is now.
It is said that
Reuben hated Yankees so much after the War , he would not allow his
daughters
to wear blue. After the War Mark moved to Arkansas. All three were
sons of Samuel Couch and Patsy Owens, along with Richard Berry, Simeon's father..
Samuel was the son of
Isaac Couch
and Susannah Burch of South Carolina.
