Linda: Yeah that's me. I have hit the point of fishing. I know we have some Covey folks in Alabama somewhere. I'll stir those rascals up. R. E. Covey, an uncle to my father, left Tennessee the same time a bunch of them came to Yell County, Arkansas. Ol' Bob Ed, that's Robert Edgar, finally left Alabama and came to Fort Smith, Arkansas where he started a furniture factory and made hisself less than poor. He left some of the COVEY folks in Alabama and I don't have the foggiest notion who it is.
