I guess I am terribly interested in the connection between the Joseph COVEY who we know to have started off (Record-wise anyway) in Chesterfield, NH records and the Samuel COVEY and wife Mary who had a son, Samuel, recorded at Chesterfield b. 1773 in Randall's book, dated 1882. I mean, we desc of Sam COVEY, Sr (c1755) are looking for a Sam COVEY and whatever wife, who had firstborn son, Samuel Jr, anywhere from 1772 to about 1775. The 1860 (I think) census indicates that Sam Jr was born 1772. I have always wondered about the proximity between Joseph COVEY of Windham County and our Samuel of Caldwell's Manor/Alburgh. Guaranteed, I have nothing that points to our Samuel being in NH. His Memorial indicates he went from the Fort Anne area of (now) Washington County, NY to St. Therese, Quebec where he was housed for a time as a Royalist/Loyalist, and then on to Noyan-Caldwell's Manor. BUT -- who is this Sam COVEY and wife Mary in NH???? And, -- he had a son born 1773 names Samuel. Where did this person go? Has anyone checked land records for that area? I'm sure they have been scoured, but I would like to know. Also -- many years ago I came across a page within New Hampshire Grants somewhere (believe me, don't remember the source, and have spent the better part of several days trying to find my photocopies some months ago). Does anyone have copies of anything that list -- 3 COVEY names as petitionaers on a NH Grant application? Anyone with either Joseph COVEY roots or Samuel COVEY roots, please jump in here!
