In 1673 - PA was a part of Delaware. 1704, Delaware becomes independent of
PA.
There was a Captain John Couch in PA during the Rev. War. & he is listed in
the pension file of one Hezekiah Davies.
In 1751, Berks co PA didn't exist..not sure when this John Couch was
born..so...
1751- or before; You have to look in Cumberland, York (York & Cumberland
exchanged in 1751), Lancaster, Chester, Bucks, and Philadelphia counties.
In 1752- Berks county formed from Cumberland, Lancaster, Philadelphia,
non-county area (at this point, Berks was diagonal from just above
Philadelphia county to the top of the state.
1772- Northumberland from Bedford, Cumberland, Lancaster, Berks,
Northampton, non-county area.
Bedford gained from Cumberland. Berks is now just about the size as
Philadelphia county.
1789 - Mifflin from Cumberland, Northumberland. This includes an area that
used to be Berks.
1795 - Lycoming from Northumberland. This used to be part of Berks.
1800 - Centre from Lycoming. Used to be part of Berks
I am not sure if this covers the birth year of John Couch or not...let me
know if he was born after 1800. Also, if you draw a diagonal line to the
west on a PA map from Philadelphia county North..slightly wider than Phili
county on the west side...do this at about a 45 degree angle...you will see
the present day counties that used to be part of Berks...there are a ton of
them!
The above dates are those in which a change was made in counties affecting
the area of Berks county...there were more changes, but not to the Berks
area. But after 1800...too many to list.

Vic, as I mentioned on the other site, I am convinced that the 88 year old
Nancy Campbell living with Patsy Grigsby is Patsy Grigsby's mother, Nancy
(possibly Shierley) wife of John Zach Campbell, father of Caleb and Lewis.
