Linda: I think my Covey line is connected to the people you mention, but have found no proof. My ancestor, Alpheus Covey, was b. 1802/1804 in Rensselaer Co., NY. He married Paulina Crandall abt 1823 probably NY. My Alpheus died 1842 in Clark Co., MO. Alpheus and Paulina had the following children: George Washington b.1824 in NY (he went OR), Freelove b. C1830 in Ohio (she died young), Uriah b.1832 in Ohio (he went CA), & Elizabeth b. 1841 in MO (she stayed in MO & married John Unger) I suspect that the father of my Alpheus Covey was the Alpheus Covey who was in Rennselaer Co, NY for 1800, 1810, & 1820 censuses. He was in Pittstown, NY for the last two censuses. There was a William Covey who served in Rev. War, and he named son Alpheus, but child died young. Perhaps related to mine?? If you have anyone named Alpheus on your line, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Carol E.
