Samuel Covey is listed, in the 1790 US Census of Vermont, as living in Alburg with a house hold of: Himself being over 16 years of age. His wife (presumably, wives were counted in the 'any female' category) Two other males over 16 years of age Two other females The only other Covey in the state was Nathan Covey (2 2 2 .) of Bristol which is 80-90 miles from Alburg In the 1800 Vermont Census Samuel is listed with a house hold of 16 comprising of: Himself being over 45 years of age His wife (presumably again) being between the age of 26 and 45 2 other males 10 to 16 3 other males 16 to 26 4 other males under 10 years of age 2 other females 10 to 16 3 other females under 10 years of age The 2 other "over 16 males" (Samuel Jr & ?????) from the 1790 census are not counted in 1800 The Nathan Covey family of Bristol is not listed in 1800 But there is a new Covey family in the northern part of the state Joseph Covey of Johnson's Gore County of Franklin with a family of 11 including 3 males 10-26 years of age. In the 1810 Vermont Census (index only) Samuel is listed with a house hold in Alburg Samuel Jr. is also listed with a house hold in Alburg (I haven't found any local microfiche for 1810 so it is Head of house hold only at this point) There is also a Ebenezer Covy as head of household in Crosburg Franklin County. My question is this. Is Ebenezer Covy a missing son of Samuel Covey? Is he the other over 16 male in the 1790 census? Or is he from the Joseph Covey family of Johnson's Gore? Grand Isle is adjacent to Franklin County. Neither Johnson's Gore or Crosburg exist today. Johnson's Gore is not Johnson in Lamoile county. Ebenezer is not listed in 1830.
