Dear Asa & List, As a means of introduction, because I�m handicapped and most of the places housing old records are not handicapped accessible, I am more of a compiler than a researcher, in other words, I take data that others gather that I am fortunate enough to have sent to me and try to link it with other data in my records. It sometimes contains primary sources and many times only the researcher�s name. If I receive conflicting data, I attempt to verify the most accurate source and record it, if I cannot verify which piece of information is correct, I record both. My dream, like Rita Ackerman our esteemed editor of �Covey Cousins�, is to have a complete data base w/documentation of the COMPLETE Covey line. In the meantime, I�ll just send my new information to the COVEY List at: COVEY-L@rootsweb.com , and request data on the people I�m presently working on. Now with that out of the way. Asa, Thank you for pointing out a mistake, in my last message to the list. The correct spelling for Phoebe BODDEE�s is B-O-D-D-E-E. This information was from Researcher Alyce Ronzo, the error; mine. There is confusion over William Henry & Phoebe (BODDEE) COVEY�s other children, when I get it settled, I�ll post it on the list. I would like to welcome you to the �Covey Cousins� staff. I also want to compliment you on a very fine article, I will be looking forward to your others. List, As I said above, I goofed on the spelling of Phoebe�s maiden name in my last E-mail to the list. The correct spelling is: B-O-D-D-E-E. I sincerely hope my error did not cause to much havoc. I have two different sets of statts for Mary COVEY (daughter of Samuel Sr. & Susannah (YEARNS) COVEY. One set purports that Mary was: b. 16 Oct 1809 in VT; d. 7 Nov 1880 in Stanstead, Quebec. Canada.; m. Daniel BESSELL in Ibenville on 3 Feb 1829 The second set purports that she was: b. c1794 in Alburg, VT; d. c1882 in McMillan, WI; m. 7 Jul 1818 in Noyan, Missesquoi Co., PQ. Does anyone have a source for either? If so please post it. This is our list, posting to it helps us all! Sincerely, Larry
