He was married to Eliza Ann Severn and Emily Walters. James was the son of Nancy Ann Douthitt and William Covey. William Covey was born on July 25, 1811, married on June 28, 1838 in Washington Co., OH, and died on August 2, 1884. I have been told he lived in Tell City (Lillydale), Perry Co., IN. William Covey was the son of Mary/Polly Bennett (b. April 21, 1782) and Kingsbury Covey I (b. April 12, 1775). They married on February 17, 1799 and were living in Chenango County, NY in 1800. They lived in Cayuga County, NY before moving to Washington County, OH sometime between 1817-1820. Kingsbury Covey I owned a sawmill on Fifteen Creek in Lawrence Township, Washington County, OH. He died in 1840. His wife Mary/Polly Bennett Covey is living with her son William Covey in the 1850 Lawrence Township, Washington County, OH census. Your James Covey is listed as one of the children. I have not been able to locate where Mary/Polly and Kingsbury Covey I are buried but am still looking. My guess is that they may be buried on the old Covey farm without a tombstone. Kingsbury Covey II and Kingsbury Covey III are buried in the Lynch Cemetery in Fearing Township, Washington County, OH. If you contact me directly, I can put you in touch with a person who has a photo of William Covey, the father of James Covey.
