    Notes 
    • BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Joseph is identified as a son of William Couch of Co. Cornwall on apprenticeship indenture to John Bray, shipwright (YORK DEEDS, 18 vols. [Portland, ME, 1887-1910], 2:62 [FHL #974.195R2m]). Date of birth is an approximation.
      MAR #1: No mar rec found. Roger Deering and Joseph Couch sold land in Kittery to "our brother" Thomas Deering, 23 Mar 1709/10 (YORK DEEDS,7:197). Roger and Thomas are proved sons of Roger Deering. Hence, Joseph Couch married a dau of Roger Deering. Her given name is rarely seen. She is apparently the Johanna Couch who witnessed a deed from Francis Morgan to John Bray, 1 Apr 1677 (YORK DEEDS, 3:24). It is known that Roger Deering had a dau Joanna, per wills of her grandparents, Clement and Sarah Palmer. The only other dau of Roger Deering was Sarah, who married Dennis Hicks.
      MAR #2: No mar rec found. Widow Katherine Couch and son Roger Couch exhibited an inv of estate of Joseph Couch, 22 Feb 1713/4, below. The mar apparently occurred before 12 Apr 1712, when she witnessed a deed for Joseph Couch (YORK DEEDS, 8:144).
