Have not seen any mention Chloe as a daughter of Nathan. > >Dency > Chloe COVEY, Yes I am sure that was the name. Couldn't remember except that it was an unexpected name, to me, for the 1790's. Not positive proof of Nathan Covey but he headed the only COVEY family within 50 miles in the 1790 census. Vermont became a state in 1791 and I read somewhere that the 1790 census in VT was taken in 1791-92. I was thumbing through town histories when I found it. I will check out the book when I go back. What can you share with me on the Covey family. I and others are trying to tie Samuel Covey of Alburg Vermont to the MA-RI-CN-NY line. Sounds like you are active in that area. At that time there must have only been 100-200 Covey's in the US / Canada. I have a feeling that Nathan of Bristol Cn and Vt. are cousins to Joseph of Acton and Samuel of Alburg. and also to the Covey's of NY. Do you know of Samuel of James II who was also brother to a Joseph >From a LANPHERE web site: Sarah LANPHERE b. 1 Mar 1687, Westerly, RI, m. abt 1707/08, James COVEY. Children: Sarah COVEY b. 1 Jan 1708. Mary COVEY b. 3 Sep 1709. Lamphear COVEY. Hope COVEY b. 15 Sep 1712. James COVEY b. 24 Jan 1715. John COVEY b. 16 Mar 1719. Joseph COVEY b. 16 Mar 1719. Samuel COVEY b. 15 Oct 1721, d. 1730. Elish COVEY b. 7 Mar 1724, d. 1730. Elizabeth COVEY b. 2 Mar 1726. Samuel is listed as having died young as is Elish. Do you have this data also. But a Samuel And Joseph were in Chesterfiled NH in 1770 The Joseph IS Joseph COVEY of Acton (Johnsons Gore) SOURCE! "History of Chesterfield" by Oran E. Randall-1882: >>"COVEY, Joseph, here in 1770. >>COVEY, Samuel, m. Mary _______. Had a son, Samuel, b. June 3, 1773." >> Also Philip Skene must enter the picture for our Samuel. I could have sworn that I read some where Skene had offered 120 acres to any one who would build a mill in Skeensbourgh (spelling?) now White Hall / Fort Ann NY. I can't refind that .. and I might be confused with a Remember Baker account stating a similar offer, but not from Skene. At any rate, in that neck of the woods, it is a stones throw fron NH across Vt to NY. And the Covey's of NY were carpenters and James IV had a mill, or was it James III in NY. I ramble Sorry. Let share data... so many names and so little time.
