Newsletter 14CALIFORNIA'S COUTS COUSINS
VOLUME 4 November December January NUMBER 1
1999-2000
A Quarterly Newsletter for the Descendants of the Couts Family #14
OK, so I messed up on the numbering of the others….
WELCOME-
It is the goal of this newsletter to create
interest in and share the research for the
Couts (pronounced Koutz) and Allied
Family genealogy. It can only be written
with the cooperation of each family member.
We encourage each of you to send in your
family group sheets and enter data as far
back as you can find. The information that
you find within its covers will be as "true"
as we can prove. We gladly accept articles,
photos, genealogy lines, and family stories.

A LETTER FROM MR. ARMSTRONG
Maple Bluff Farm October 19, 1999
Dear Barbara, during the early settlement of
this county, my great-great grandfather, Eli
Baggett, was a very good and close friend
of your ancestor, Jackson Couts.
The Baggett Family moved from North
Carolina to Robertson County in March
1815 and leased 215 acres of land (later
purchasing) adjacent to the property of John
Couts. This land was part of the "preemption"
grant made to Hugh Henry, a brother-in-law
to John Donelson of The Adventure fame.
In a few years a friendship developed
between Eli and Jackson. The boys spent their
spare time, riding horses, fishing and hunting the
untamed countryside. For the next thirty-five
years they remained warm friends and co-
workers in civil affairs.
By the time the two sons had grown
to manhood, Eli had married the daughter of
James Owen, a revolutionary soldier. They
met while she visited her married sister, Minor
Owen Baggett, the wife of Eli's brother Jesse
Baggett. During the next year period, and
other Owen sister, Henrietta, married John
Couts, Jr. and ten years later my future great
grandfather, Thomas Savage, married Eli's
oldest daughter, Nancy Baggett, thereby placing
the Owen line in my tree. It's revealed now
why I have heard these stories of the Couts family.
In one of your newsletters (Vol. 2 & 3)
the name Lucy Savage, (the sister to great-
grandfather) was mentioned by Mrs. William
Couts in a letter to her son, Cave Couts in
California. Apparently from her wording he
apparently knew her before leaving Tennessee.
When Eli's father died he inherited the
farm and distillery. From all family reports Eli
was more interested in farming and public
service than being a distiller. To relieve him
of the work of operating a distillery he hired
his future son-in-law, Thomas Savage, and
put him in chare of all distillery operations.
Thomas enlarged the building and within one
year had tripled the production. Soon after
Eli's death, Thomas hired an agent in Nashville,
Tennessee, and in Louisville, Kentucky to store
and sell the product.
Jackson, after the death of John, Sr.
inherited the farm and distillery, followed Eli's
thinking and hired a full time distiller. This free
time enabled both men to buy and sell land to
a fast growing country.
Grandfather said, "he and his three brother
worked in the distillery, but never drank the liquor.".
He also said, "neither did Eli or Jackson,
both were teetotalers."
Jackson's brother, John Jr. owned a farm
and distillery on Beaver Dam Creek, but in 1875
a flash flood swept both dam and distillery away,
leaving a mill building. In 1925, this building was
remodeled into a small grocery store and John, Sr.'s
great-great grandson, Wallace Couts ran
the business until 1931. With Regards

Subject: Re: Caldwell Family Member Hi Barbara,
No, this the first I have heard from you. No problem
I know how hard it can be to keep up with all the emails.
As to your Mary Polly CALDWELL. The Polly CALDWELL
I have in my line is the daughter of Matthew CALDWELL
who was b in circa. 1763 in Union County SC. He
apparently died here in Missouri in 1837 most likely
in Gasconade County. But do not have proof. He was
the son of Curtis & Sarah FONDREN CALDWELL.
Polly is listed as being born in 1793 in possibly Warren
County, KY. She was married to John COUCH on 9
Aug 1809. That is all that I have on her.
Her brothers & sisters:
· Curtis Washington - b 21 Feb 1786 SC.
d. 30 May 1854 Lee County, IA.
Wife - Mary N. HICKMAN; .
· Christina - b. circa 1787 SC. d 1839
Pope County, IL. Husband -Thomas COWSERT
· John L. - b. 26 Oct 1790 SC. d. 1863
McCracken County, KY. Wife- Myra MORGAN
· Sarah S. "Sally" - b 1791 SC. d. 1821
Jefferson County, AL. Husband- John McWilliams
· Henry - b 1792 Warren County, KY.
· Issac - b 1795 Warren County, KY. . 1860 Wife-
Nancy LAWRENCE. Her father, Matthew
remarried after his 1st. wife died. His 2nd. wife
was Nancy WHITE There children: George H. -
Merron - b 1805 Warren County, KY. Husband -
John EADES Matthew - b 1812 Warren County, KY.
d 17 May 1837 ; Sollomon - b 1818 Possibly Madison
or Jefferson County, IL. d Mesquite, Dallas County, TX.
Wife (1) Leona Ann CROWNOVER
(2) Martha Ann COATS Hugh C. -
b 1821 Gasconade County, MO. Wife
(1) Charlotte Ann MARRS, (2) Elizabeth CROWNOVER,
(3) Browder Ann BREEZE
Hope this helps. If I can help you with this
let me know. I have more info
the brother's and sisters if you want it.
Thanks, Mike cokiesrd@midamerica.net
Subject: Caldwell Info. Hi Barb, I have a
copy of Matthew's Will, You list him as Matthew P.
I only have him as Matthew and I have copies of
Newspaper Ad's where he ran for State Office
and was elected as State Representative in 1834.
And Information where he was a Judge and bought
land in 1814 here in Missouri. What I have you would
probably like most is a copy although not a good
one, is of the Land Grant given to Curtis from King
George in 1763 for service in 1758 during the
Cherokee Uprising in the Carolinas. Also Copies
of the Land Survey. Do you know anything about
Sarah FONDREN? I have been looking for years
but have not found anything about her or who
Matthew's first wife was. I am related to you
from my ggggrandfather Joseph CALDWELL,
brother to Polly. I do not have a scanner as of yet
I just got this computer and got "onLine" last month.
Here is a good question for you, Do you know anything
about a Kincaid, Samuel K., David and John CALDWELL
they are shown as living in the same county here in MO
at the same time from 1814/18 on? I cannot find or
prove how or if they were related but it seems odd if
they weren't somehow. I think maybe Matthew had more
brothers or uncles that came west with him. The son of
Matthew, John L. was supposed to have died in KY 1863
maybe its the same man and he moved back to KY. ???
I will make some copies as soon as I can . It might be
just a little while as I work 12hr days this mon tue wed!!
Thanks for the Info. Mike CONGDON

half-brothers named Franklin and Monroe Bowers.
Their mother was Mattie Lewis Bowers. Their father
was Daniel. There were other children. However,
I think Monroe and Franklin (Frank) married into
the Anderson's. I think maybe one of the sisters
married a Reynold's and possible a Wilson. They were
originally from Carter Co. Tn. If these names mean
anything to you please reply. Violet Bowers Bledsoe

I have found my grandmother Rachel Rae Bird
Deewall in this family. My name is also in it. How
did it all come together.? Also there are some misinformation
& lack of names as there are several more great grandchildren
& marriages with her grandchildren. Let me know Thanks
Tonia Anconetani (Deewall)
Hi Tonia, Much of the information that I have has
been given to me by family members. The immediate
Couts line I have researched up to Teter Couts.
I would love to have the missing information and
any corrections that you might have. It all came
together when I asked my brother to show me
how to do this and I kept running into walls. It
was a strange name, "Couts" and I thought we
were the only ones who existed. I've since found
many Couts who are unrelated. My main solution
was to share info with as many people possible and
sort through all of the info. It became impossible
to respond to each person repeatedly, so, I thought
a newsletter might solve the problem. I am
not a "purest" and felt if I also search the allied
families, I will find out more info. Many time the
daughter carries the family history. Anyway, it
has been a blast, but it now takes much too much
time and does not give me a chance to really research.
The internet has made this project come together in a
timely manner, as well as the help of hundreds of people.
My children are computer geniuses and put it together
in a web page for me. I was fortunate to find major
allied family lines from wonderful people. I always
solicit pictures, stories, and info. If the person can't
put it together, I'll do it for them....I'm addicted....
Glad to hear from you and I can't wait for more...

Subj: Coonce From: maria@capflorida.org
(Maria Joseph) Our Coonce line starts in KY
and then to MO before 1800 when it was Upper
LA and not part of US. Three brothers, John,
Nicholas and Jacob settled in
St. Charles, MO. Before they went to Upper LA
Jacob was in KY, Jefferson Co. and John was in ILL
and left when they outlawed slavery and went to MO.
I have information from 1800 forward, but
backwards is another matter.
Above Nicholas Coonce had son Nicholas Coonce,
Jr. who took his wife and two small sons west.
He drown in the Snake River, but his wife and two
sons went on to Washington state. Our name was
spelled many ways, mainly
because the early ones could not read or write.
Family oral history says they came thru Pa/Md,
but can not prove. Would be glad to mail you a
print out of my Family Tree program for my early
Coonces. Maria Coonce Joseph

Subj: Hello! From:
trailend@hdo.net (Randy & Becky Hall)
Dear Barbara, thanks for the e-mail and the
information. I have e-mailed Gerald and hope
to hear from him soon on Wade Couts. I have
been really busy, I have a new grandson born
9/9/99 in Oregon. So, of course I just can't
stand to be away from that baby. My daughter
and her husband live in Oregon. It's about a
two-hour drive for me, which or course I
don't mind at all. They named him Sean
Macintosh Murphy. How's that for a
Scotch-Irish name!!! How has your summer
been? I hope your health has improved from
last spring My husband has been really busy
with all the fires around California. He works
for the U. S. Forest Service in Fire management.
My son is also engaged to be married July 2000.
I have a few more pictures for you that I got from
my great Aunt this summer. I will try to get those
to you soon. I just wanted to thank you for sending
along the information and to see how you were
doing. I will be in touch. Take Care, Becky
Subj: Catron Family From: GRMcCoy Barb,
Thank you for sending me the note from Becky Hall.
She indicated that she was working on the Catron
line as well as the Couts line. She said that she was
trying to prove her Catron line for the DAR. This is
of great interest to me as I am a member of the Sons
of the American Revolution. In fact, I am the Secretary
of the Missouri Society SAR and in the morning we
are marching in a parade in the uniforms of the
Continental Army. Two weeks ago, we had the honor
of providing the Color Guard at the Kansas City Chiefs
and Detroit Lions Football Game (for a sports fan, it
doesn't get any better than that!). Well, enough of my
SAR endeavors, I was wondering if Becky has the
documentation for proving the Catron line. Who was
the Catron Patriot? Would you have her E-mail or write me.
Thank you for your help. Gerald

Hi. I have been reading your family history research.
My family name is Killingworth, which I see is an
associated family. My immediate family lived in
Boston, Lincolnshire, England - the Boston. I am
only just starting my researches, but would be
pleased to let you know anything that might be
of interest to you. I would be interested to hear
of an early Killy who went to America. Kind
regards - Marguerite Cullen.

Hello, Barb Thanks for your speedy reply.

know that I am married to a German
called Dieter, sounds like "Teter".

I am seeking information on FARAN
SHERIDAN COATES (d. 23 Nov 1940)

prior to May of 1918 from Ohio
(probably ~1902-1903). In 1918 his address
was "RFD #4, San Diego". He was married to
CORA NEEL (d. 24 Dec 1959) on May 7, 1902
and had one son, HERBERT NEEL COATES
(b. 29 July, 1903, d. 17 Jan 1956) Herbert Neel
Coates was thought to have one daughter MYRL
COATES. Myrl was said to have moved to
northern California. FARAN, CORA, and
HERBERT are thought to be all buried in the
San Diego area. FARAN was born with his
last name spelled COUTS, but had his name
changed. His parents were JOHN CHADWELL
COUTS and MARY EMALINE LITTLE, from
Irish Ridge, Guernsey County, Ohio. Thank you
for helping me find information on my

WELL KNOWN MONROE TOWNSHIP
MAN DIED AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Submitted Linda L Daffron
George J. Couts, for many years a well
known citizen of Monroe Township, died
Sunday morning, May 21, (1944) at 2:05
o'clock at the home of his son Curtis Couts,
on state highway 61 just north of the South
Fork bridge. He had been in failing health
for the past two or three years, serious for
several weeks. George J. Couts was born
in Monroe township, May 19, 1868 and
had reached the age of 76 years and 2 days.
He was a son of Aaron and Sarah Ellen
Wallace Couts. He was born on a farm and
learned farming which he followed during
his active years. June 1, 1888 he was united
in marriage to Louisa E. Fleener. Soon after
their marriage they settled on a farm where
they spent their married life and on the same
place where he died. The wife and mother
died suddenly March 19, 1935, after an illness
extending over a long period. Surviving are four
of the five children born to them, Curtis Couts
who with his family lived in the old home which
the son had owned for some time, and had
taken care of deceased during his declining
years; Thomas Couts of Arthur; Mrs. Sarah
McCord of Winslow; Charles Couts of Gibson
county. Thirteen grandchildren, four great
grandchildren, a brother, James Couts of
Monroe Township, and a sister, Mrs. Etta
Baker of Noble, Illinois, also survive. In early
manhood Mr. Couts united with the
Spurgeon Primitive Baptist
church and was a faithful member throughout his life.
He was an honorable gentleman, a good citizen
and neighbor and his passing left many friends.
The funeral service was held Tuesday morning
at the Spurgeon Primitive Baptist church, with
Elder Baker of Illinois, a former church pastor,
in charge of the service. Burial was in the
Spurgeon Cemetery. I have Louisa Elizabeth
Fleener born August 11, 1866 daughter of
Isaac Washington Fleener and Mahala Ferguson

CALI COUTS
Recently, I met a new friend on the internet.
She turned out to be a Couts, from John
Couts and Polly Caldwell by way of
Charles Oatley- Charles - and Chris line.
Cali is a very engaging person, especially
for a nine years old, and I've thoroughly
enjoyed our correspondence. I hope
you will enjoy her emails too.
Subj: (none) From: calicouts@hotmail.com
(Cali Couts) To: bevans@coutsfamily.com
I live in Arizona whoose your Dad and
do you ever gett picked on for your last name??
Hi Cali, To which part of the world do you
belong? If I know some generations or dates
I can help...Our name was originally
German - Kautz, but because most people
hadn't gone to school, the spellings were
easily changed to be part of the dominant
culture, British- Coutts (Coots).
Write soon, Barb Couts Evans
Arizonia? Your group (unless you just
recently moved there) probably came
from Ohio. Some of your distant relatives
are currently living in Colorado.
Boy, did I get picked on!! Things like
COWWWss and Cooties, you name,
they called it. But you know what, I lived
through it and they aren't doing much these
days and I tried and keep others from
making fun on kids today. I'm a principal..
later, Barb
Hi Barb!! What school do you work at?
Have you ever been to AZ? Lake powell
is really close to us. Bye CaliCouts
I think I went through Az once when I was
a little girl on the way to the Mid-west.
I remember the cacti and the Superstitious
Mountain. There was some kind of a
legend about a miner who hide his gold
in a cave and the Indians killed him and
the gold is still there. I was beautiful!
I slept through New Mexico though- car sick!
Have you ever been to Sacramento, CA?
We live pretty close to it....Barb
Hi Barb!! Most of our relatives I know
of live in Indana I'm sorry if I spelled it wrong.
Hi Cali, Ahhh! Two sets of Couts came from
Indiana. My own personal branch of Couts
who came from John Couts and Mary Polly
Caldwell in 1813 and a branch who landed
in a couple of counties over in 1860's from
Germany. Ours came from Pike and Warrick
counties. There are still a large number of
relatives there and I'd love to get their info!!
Hi Barb!! All I know is that most of my
relatives from Indana are good at Gardening.
Whats your DAds name and your Mom And
your grampa + Grama? My Dad is Chris Alan
Couts My Mom is Julie Lee Couts My Grampa
is Charlie Robert Couts my Grama is
Cloretta Ray Couts SEE Yaa!! Cali Couts
Hi Cali, My fathers name was Clarence Roy
Couts-mom was Ruby Childers, his dad was
William Levi Couts (born in Indiana)-Grandma's
was Hattie Winn. His father's (great grandpa's)
name was Alvis Couts-ggrandma Sarah Grim;
gggrandpa was Wiliam Levi Couts (again)
gggrandma was Elendon ? (maybe Graham);
ggggrandpa was John Couts and ggggrandma

John and Mary. How ya doing, Cuz?!
Later, Barb Here's yours: John Couts

Hi Barb,
Wow Barb thats really enteresting I'm
Doing good. Butt I'd like to know if 4th
grade was hard for you it
seems to be really hard to me eapeshaly math!!
Hi Cali, I almost can't remember 4th grade...
my teacher was about 4 feet tall, her hair
was roll into curls, she was about 40 years
old and still lived with her mom and dad...
she was very strict....we were not allowed
to think things were too hard...we had to
stay after school until we could show it to
her....but math had kept me after school
many times!!! Especially, Calculus three
times in college....I never did get the hang
of that one...Happy Halloween - almost....Barb
P.S. Can I put your letters in my newsletter?
Hi Barb, Do you still go trick-or-treeting I

Hi Cali, No, I haven't gone trick or treating
in a long time. My kids still have fun with
Halloween. They're going to a party. My

kids, seeing the costumes, and handing
out candy. Be safe and have fun...Barb
Nine is good!! Everyone will love your letters...

COUTS FAMILY ASSOCIATION GUESTBOOK ~
Record 118
Name: Kay Patricia Keith Couts, blurose62@hotmail.com ,
From: Marshalltown, Iowa Comments: I found my
husband is on the Chrisley Couts line. I would like
some people on this line to contact me so we can
fill in some blanks, and fill in some blanks for this
site. Thank you. Kay Couts
Record 121
Name: Keith W. Lyon lyonkw@aol.com
From: Arnold, MD Comments: My GGGGrandfather
is Walter W. Stark who married Mary Magdaline
Couts. I didn't know Mary Magdaline's family
name until a few weeks ago when I was in
Robertson Co. Tenn and noted that someone
had penciled the name Couts after Mary's name
in the book on the Stark family at the local library.
I have been reading your web site carefully to
find the actual source that links Mary's identity
to the Couts family.
Record 130 Name: Kathy Mounteer
kwhisper@uswestmail.net From: Boise,
Idaho Comments: Cave Couts is my
great-great grandfather. My sister found
your site. We have a lot of info on the
Bandini side of our family. It's great to
learn about the Couts side. Thank you.
Record 132
Name: Bob Wilson bbbawilson@aol.com
From: Tennessee to Alabama Comments:
Very well-done site. I'm the great-grandson
of Cave Johnson Wilson, who was born in
1845 in TN (1900 census). He was raised
outside Adairville, KY according to family
lore, and joined the Confederate cavalry in
Guthrie, KY in 1862. After 1890 he moved
with his wife and children to Robertson
County, TN, where his sons married Stroud
and Shepard women. Although I suspect
Cave was born in or around Robertson Co,
no TN Wilson family lists a son named Cave
or C.J. in the 1850 census. I had hoped to
find a link to the Couts family here, but no luck.
