Andy Ashley, By now you probablyh have graduated and are no longer interested
in the old Couch family cemetery plots of Will and Mary Couch. I have at least two Williams in Orange County, NC (Duke may have been in Orange County at one time).
One William was b Hillsborough, NC in 1758 and d 28, Nov 1805. This William fought in Rev. War under Maj Charles Robertson. I do not have his wife's name but my records say he may have married dau of Edward Stone.

If you are still interested I have a few more tidbits. It seems to me I ran accross a reference to an old Couch family cemetery on the UNC-Chapel Hill Campus. But surely Duke students would not grace the UNC campus even for antiquity.

Let me know if you want me to search further.

Bob Couch (retired AUBURN UNIVERSITY)

Another William was b Mary 26, 1782.
