Is he Covey or Hovey Ebenezer Covy is listed in the 1810 census index as living in Franklin County in the town of Crosburg Vermont. Microfilm of 1810 census lists Ebenezer Covy on page 315 in Franklin County town of Enosburg, not Crosburg, with a family of 6 (2--1- 2--1-) Presumably Ebenezer and wife with 4 children under 10. Enosburg (FALLS) is about 25 miles from the Alburg Vt home of Samuel. It is almost twice that distance to N Hately Que . There was a Ebenezer Hovey (loyalist from Conn.) who settled in North Hately circa 1793 >From http://www.travelpresskits.com/aubergeh/pk.html ...The history of North Hatley is fascinating indeed. Its roots go back to the American Revolution when a number of families, declaring their loyalty to King George of England, fled the thirteen newly formed American States and resettled in North Hatley near Lake Massawippi. Some of their farmhouses still exist, some in fine shape. Long used as a hunting ground by the Iroquois and Abenakis, the land around Lake Massawippi was first settled by white men just over two hundred years ago. Ebenezer Hovey, a Connecticut militiaman who was the first white man to discover Lake Masswippi in 1793 built the first log home here and later obtained a land grant from the Crown. By 1803, the settlement of North Hatley was created. Pioneers from that time were buried in an old village cemetery that still exists..... There is no mention of Ebenezer Covy in the 1800 or 1820 Vt Census. Does anyone have data on the older Ebenezer Hovey of North Hadley Que. Who were his children. Is Ebenezer a Ebenezer Hovey Jun. Or is he one ot the 3 over 16 males listed with Samuel Covey of Alburg in 1790. If he is of Samuel he would have to have been just shy of 16 in 1791-92 (census date). As records show Samuel with wife and one child in late 1777.
