Hi everyone I am researching Russell Ray Covey Sr. born about 1788 in North Carolina. He married Rachel E. Davis 11-21-1810 in Maury County, TN. She was born about 1792 in South Carolina. They moved to Hardin County, TN sometime between 1836 and 1840. I believe he had a son named Archibald D. Covey who was born 1811 (the 1860 Hardin County, TN Census says he was born in North Carolina, but since he's right near Russell Ray Covey and R. R. is old enough to be his father, I will say Russell is his father, even though he might more likely be his Uncle). I am interested mostly in a girl listed in Archibald's household on the 1860 Census of Hardin County. Martha A. is 19 on the 1860 Census and born in Tennessee. Archibald is old enough to be her father, but the following excerpt is found in "Hardin County, TN Records: 1820-1860" by Thomas A. Hays 1 November 1847 pg. 282 Covey, Huldah- E. S. Covey appointed guardian of Jane, May, Minneford, Martha A., Robert, Sophina, and Leon Covey, minor heirs of Huldah Covey. I don't know if the Martha A. listed as a minor heir of Huldah Covey is the same as the Martha A. listed under Archibald in the 1860 Census. Since Archibald's Martha is born 1841 it's possible (if not very likely) that she could be the minor daughter of Huldah Covey and just living with her Uncle or cousin. This is my predicament. Does anyone have any information on Martha A. Covey (b. 1840), Archibald D. Covey, or Russell Ray Covey?
