Hello Coveys: My husband is a descendent of Hope Covey via his son James (and Sara Lanphere) and daughter Rachel (and Theodosius Lanphere). It's a fascinating line because it looks like this: 1. Hope Covey 2. James Covey + Sarah Lanphere 3. James Covey (1715) + Mary Lanphere (1721) 4. Samuel P. Covey + Elizabeth Nap/Knapp 2. Rachel Covey + Theodosius Lanphere 3. Mary Lanphere (1721) + James Covey (1715) 4. Samuel P. Covey + Elizabeth Nap/Kanpp Talk about double first cousins! Anyway, I noted with interest the Penningtons post about their Covey page at http://members.aol.com/BoardStock.Covey.html I'm a compiler so at first chance I went there to see what lines I could add to my Covey/Lanphere database. 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. Many thanks. Christine Smith
