Pam, In answer to your message of 1 Jan 1998 where you wrote: >Is the Rufus Melvin COVEY you mention the one I have as Rufus >COVEY b. c1876 s/o William COVEY and Adelia WELLS? Do you >have a full date on him? Who was his wife, Jennie Minnie COVEY?<< The Rufus Melvin COVEY is the same one you have listed. His stats are; Rufus Melvin Covey - born 3 May 1876 at Moores, Clinton County, NY, 6th child of William COVEY& Fanny Adelia WELLS. Rufus was married 19 Aug 1896 to his first cousin, Jennie Minnie COVEY at Ellenburg Corners, Clinton County, NY. ( Jennie was the daughter of Hiram Barzilla COVEY, William�s brother). All 10 of their children were born in NYS before the year of 1919 at which time they all relocated to VT. Rufus died 25 Dec. 1952 at Northfield, Washington County, VT from a Myocardial Infarction & general Arteriosclerosis. He was interned at Mount Hope Cemetery, Northfield Center, Washington County, VT. This research/information was provided to me by Alyce Ronzo, the blood niece of Rufus, as per interviews with her mother Eunice Tucker (granddaughter of William COVEY), interviews with Grace Page & Lyle Covey, (children of Rufus�) and entries in COVEY family Bible made by Jennie Minnie COVEY. If you or anyone else has questions (or information) on Rufus Melvin COVEY/Jennie Minnie COVEY PLEASE contact me at: lb3825@aol.com or via the COVEY List. Larry.
