While searching in the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections (http://lcweb.loc.gov/coll/nucmc/) I found these three sets of Covey papers - one in a library in Richmond, VA, one in Charlottesville, VA, and one (Silas Covey) in Oneida, NY. Is there anyone out there who can do a library visit? These things probably haven't seen daylight in a while! Please let me know what you find. Title: Covey family Bible record, 1856-1941.
