Hi, Larry and list! -- Well, Susanna is a problem as far as I'm concerned. We know Sam had to be married to a YEARNS, from the name being carried down through generations. But I think (no proof) that Sam was married at least twice. It is highly unlikely that the same woman who gave birth to Sam Jr c1772 or so, also gave birth to another son in 1815. That would mean she had children over a span of 43 yrs! There has always been a lot of talk about Indian blood in the COVEY line somewhere. I wonder if Sam married a YEARNS first, and then married Susanna, who was at least half Indian. The YEARNS married in the COVEYS several times, but we have no proof of any relation between those COVEY men. However, it seems that they would have married the YEARNS in and around the Cambridge, NY area, so I would suspect that Samuel's first wife was the YEARNS, and was married to her while living at Fort Ann, NY. There was also an Elizabeth COVEY who died in 1778 (I think, or 1779) while Samuel and his family were displaced and living in the St Therese area of Quebec along with other Loyalists. This might be his first wife. Alot of further research is needed within the YEARNS to try to iron this out. I collected a lot of YEARNS info, but didn't get very far. They were a very elusive bunch. Anyone having definite info on Susanna, please post it!!
