Thank you for your responses concerning whether or not you were receiving posts to COVEY-L. I think we are okay, and it's just a matter of a slow time for us, and not many posts are being submitted to the list. All the more reason to get your queries, problems, etc out there! Don't be shy! The more exposure, the better. Remember, these messages are being archived now at Rootsweb, and new subscribers can obtain these. Wouldn't you want info out there on YOUR COVEY ancestor? -------------------------------------- If at all possible, I would also like all of you are desc of Samuel COVEY of Fort Anne, NY>Caldwell's Manor, QC to please be in touch. I am thinking of placing out there on the web AT LEAST the first two generations of his descendants. What do you think? If you think this is a good idea, I would like to make sure we all have the same info on his children and grandchildren, and can agree on dates, places, etc. Let me know those you who would like to "read over" whatever material I plan to place out there. I would really like it to be as accurate as possible.

Dora D. Covey was born 26 Sep 1856 at Rushville, Schuyler, Illinois. There is very strong evidence that she was a carrier of a rare genetic disorder called "X-Linked Juvenile Retina Schisis." I don't know which of her parents she got it from. She was their only child. This condition is degenerative and causes legal blindness in males before age 40. Because of its rarity, it is often mis-diagnosed. If you have ever heard of blindness or poor eyesight running in your Covey family, please contact me.

Hi Everyone - Just wanted to let everyone know about COVEY COUSINS, the quarterly newsletter for Covey family researchers. This "plug" does not benefit me in any way - I am not affiliated with the publication. Those of you who already subscribe know it certainly worthwhile. Recently there have been several enquiries as to what COVEY COUSINS is. This publication was started in 1991 (I think), and is edited by Rita Ackerman. Her mailing address is: PO Box 54127, Phoenix, AZ 85078-4127 Her e-mail address is: RKWA@prodigy.net The publication is $10.00 per yr, for 4 issues. It covers COVEY finds within research material, as well as queries. There are usaully excerpts from passenger, census, Bible, B,M and D records. Come on and join up! There are still slews of people out there that do not have an internet connection, and many of those connected are not aware of mailing lists, etc. The more exposure you get the better.

Hi Arlene, We haven't corresponded for a while. I was born in Rochester, NY, descended from the Ontario line and we pronounced it KUVVY too. However, my eldest brother's friends pronounced it CO-VEY (long O) so much, that he's now adopted that pronunciation, so I guess it wasn't even the same between family members -- it isn't in my immediate family!!!

Seeking information on ancestors of Catharyne dau of, Johannaes son of, Gerret Teunnisse Van Vechten from Rensselaer. I need b. d. and m. dates. I know Catharyne married Barnardus Bratt. Anyone have any info concerning Van Vechten, especially in Albany and Rensselaer Counties of NY (1500-1700's)? Any info would be appreciated, and thanks in advance.

That's a grand COVEY home page the Pennington's have posted. I had assumed Melinda just hadn't completed Sam Covey's Tennessee branch that I'm hoping to connect to. I did see one niggling detail that might bear rechecking: James Covey and Sarah Lanphere's marriage date is listed 21 Mar 1707/08 -- and dau. Sarah Covey's birth date is listed 11 Jan 1707/08. Sam's son Joseph Covey and Rosanah Barringer Covey apparently migrated to TN about the same time brothers John and James Covey did. Franklin Co. TN deed book shows these transactions: -- James Winchester of Sumner Co. to John Covey, a tract of land. 5 Feb 1817 -- John Covey to Daniel McCay, a tract of land. 24 May 1818 -- Rosana Covey to George G. Black, a tract of land on the Elk River. 23 Aug 1818. -- John Covey to John Tims, 280 acres on the Elk River. 25 Dec 1819. -- John Covey to William Riley, 50 acres on the Elk River, 9 Mar 1833. (No Covey land transactions after this date.) James Covey was listed in the 1820 Franklin Co. TN Census. Also, there was a James Covey listed in the 1840 Arkansas Census. I've done some reading between the lines to trace (perhaps) a connection between John Covey and my g-g-grandmother, Sinia Covey. A published record of Arkansas marriages lists those of a Maria Covey to Joel Sanders, and of an L. Covey to E. W. Guthrie in Pulaski Co. AR on 23 Aug.1836, both by Rev. James Samson. ( "Sinia" Guthrie is name on tombstone; 1850 Texas Census listed her as "Sinde" Guthrie, and 1870 Census, "Sinaia" Guthrie. A contraction of Lucinda?) The 1830 Census for Franklin Co. TN lists two females in John Covey's household between 10-15 years old. Sinia Covey would have been 11-12 years old then. Brother James Covey's household had no females in this age group in 1830 Census. Also, John Covey's family may have moved to AR following that last land transaction in Franklin Co. TN, in 1833. So can anyone confirm or disprove this awfully thin link between John Covey and my Sinia Covey? And provide names of other children of John? John Covey's houshold in 1830 Census listed one male 5-10 years old, one 15-20, one 20-30, one 40-50. Females: one 5-10 two 10-15, one 15-20 and one 40-50. -- Gerald Moses

In a message dated 97-06-07 16:18:26 EDT, you write: << My husband is a descendent of Hope Covey via his son James (and Sara Lanphere) and daughter Rachel (and Theodosius Lanphere).

Yep. Some new ones. But it wasn't until I started adding the line of Lamphear Covey that I noticed a problem. Perhaps the Covey descendents can help unravel this. The Penningtons (can't recall their first names offhand, sorry) list James (1743- the one who marries Phoebe Smith) as a son of Lamphear, son of James and Sarah Lanphear Covey. I have this James as the son of James and Mary Lanphere. But so do the Penningtons!! In other words, if I am reading their file correctly, they have James (1743) as both the son of Lamphear and the son of ... well James and Mary. Now, it appears to me that the only problem is that the Pennington's file is missing Rachel's line and is otherwise correct, meaning that simply a chunk of data is missing -- like a typo rather than an error, if that makes sense. So, could someone else visit the site and tell me whether I am correct? Before I go to the trouble of importing the new lines, I want to be sure whose parents are whose. >> This is the those mixed up Pennington's again. Well, you are correct, Lamphear Pennington is not the father of James Covey husband of Phoebe Smith. Don't ask how Lamphear Covey got there? I don't know.

Gene and Pam, Thanks for the input. Yes, the Samuel R. COVEY (1848-1899) that you (Gene) referenced in your response is the line I'm working on. Samuel B., his son, was my grandfather. I've got most of all the mentioned children's info and their descendants' info, since 2 of the children (Caroline and Marion) were known personally and I've corresponded over the years with Frank Brillus's son and grandchildren. Several people have indicated to me that they "thought" Samuel R. was the son of James Yearns. However, since this is my direct line, I'd like to DOCUMENT that and I'm not having much luck. No marriage registration, no church records (at this point I've written to just about every denomination's archives, although they were Presbyterian); no response at all from Athens United Church. Athens Town Clerk couldn't help. I'm not even sure where to check for a death record, since he died in Sherbrooke, Quebec as a semi-John Doe and the body was shipped back to Athens for burial. I have uncovered a newspaper article from the Sherbrooke Record in 1899 chronicling the last sordid days of his life (week-long alcohol bender wandering transient from hotel to hotel, claiming he had no family, friends or money). Apparently, just before he died, he divulged that he did have a wife and a letter was written to her. The corresponding article in the Athens paper was a lot less "National Enquirer" and just gave sympathy to the widow and children, but no lineage info. Even if there was a death record in Quebec, I doubt there is much parental info, since it took them so long just to identify him and his immediate family! Depending on time and money and the cooperativeness of my husband, we may try to get to Athens, Ontario while on our summer pilgrimmage to visit my parents in Rochester, NY. It's quite a bit out of the way on the return trip to Connecticut, but I'm wondering if we show up on the local church steps or visit the local public library if something might not pop up in their archives if I'm willing to rifle through it myself? On the James Fransburg marriage posting, I screwed up and transposed the 21st of Sept 1864 to the 12th when I keyed it into my E-Mail. I'd better be more careful. Interesting about the reversal of the groom and bride's parents in the County Marriage Registers though. One question so that I can follow your census argument -- is there a known relationship between Daniel and POLLY COVEY in the 1860 Alburg VT census and the Daniel and MARY COVEY in the 1871 Leeds census. Is MARY a second wife? I'm still a little green about all the known interrelationships of all these Vermont, New York and Canadian COVEY's. Debbi (Covey) Sweeney desweeney@aol.com

COVEY (1849-1899) who married Caroline WOOD (1856-13 Feb 1919). They had Frank, Carrie Maude, Isabella, Frank Brillus, James, Samuel B., Marian and Caroline. I think he is the son of James Yearns COVEY and Isabella Radcliffe and brother to Permelia COVEY who married James Fransberg COVEY. This Samuel is the grandson of Samuel COVEY Jr (Abt 1772-After1860). Gene ------------------ I did come across >>a marriage listing in the Office of The Registrar General, County Marriage >>Registers, 1841-1913, Lanark-Grenville, vol. 25 that lists the following: >> >>12 Sept 1864 - James COVEY, resident of Leeds, born in Leeds, age 26 >> (parents - James COVEY and Isabella COVEY) >> married Permelia COVEY resident of Leeds, born >Landsdowne, age 19 >> (parents: Daniel COVEY and Mary COVEY) >> Witnesses: John COVEY, Leeds >> Martha COVEY, Leeds >> >>This would appear to be James Fransburg COVEY per the 1881 census. Still >>don't know how I tie to these COVEY's in Leeds, but I know I must. Not sure >>if this is new or old info for you, but if you think it would be of interest >>to anyone, please forward on to the Covey list. >> >>Debbi >> ----------------- I agree that this appears to be James Fransburg per the 1881 census. But I also note the following: The County Marriage Register of Ontario, Canada 1858-1869, Leeds & Grenville, appears to have the COVEY parents reversed. His parents should be Daniel and Mary COVEY and Isabella's parents should be James and Isabella COVEY. Each family had a James and and a Permelia. Per the 1860 Alburgh, VT census in the family of Daniel and Polly COVEY, James is listed as 21 years of age (ie. born about 1839 versus marriage age of 26 in 1864 which would give a birth year of about 1838). The Permelia in the family of Daniel and Polly was 26 which would give a birth year of about 1834 - and not of 1845 as required by the marriage record). Also a Permelia COVEY still shows in the family of Daniel and Mary in the 1871 Leeds census which is seven years after "she" married James COVEY and a James COVEY age 16 still shows as a child in the family of James and Isabella COVEY in this same census. Also note that when I copied from the County Marriage Registers of Ontario Canada 1858-1869 Vol. 20 Leeds & Grenville, I obtained a marriage date of 21 (not 12) Sep 1864. Perhaps I reversed the numbers? >snip< Hope this may be of use. Eugene M. Olmsted <029tuk@pipeline.com>
