There were several Ivy and Iveys families in Franklin Co in the 1840-1880 time period and I believe they may all be related. It is possible the George Ivy you have is the father of my James, and also possible that he is his uncle. I trace all the Ivy, Ivey lines in Franklin county. You may run across the mis-information that Mary (Covert) remarried to James Ivy after George. Actually the Mary Ivy who married James Ivy was Mary the dau of James and Lydia Ivy. She was much younger than old Mary (Covert) Ivy. This Mary Ivy the younger was also the Mrs Mary Ivy who married to Thomas B Ford. This family later moved to Eugene, Oregon as did Lydia Ivy after James had died.
