Dear Tom et al, Yes, I think I can help. In the past I've done extensive research on William Breedlove's father-in-law, Philip PARR & family, although I haven't looked at this material for awhile, and I'm a bit rusty. ALL descendants of William and Mary Parr Breedlove, also descend from Philip Parr & his wife, Judith Allaman. Philip Parr called Richard Covington his "brother-in-law in his will. That designation had three meanings in those times, the first two of which we still use today. 1. My wife's brother 2. My sister's husband 3. My step-brother I belive that Richard was related to Philip by the #2 meaning of the term. We know that Richard Covington married Ann Young, daughter of William Young. I belive that William Young had married Philip Parr's mother, and that Ann Young was Philip Parr's half sister. I'd be glad to go deeper into these relationships with anyone who is interested, but it will take me awhile to dig out the records, which I haven't computerized as yet. Marilyn Owen
