Posted on: COVEY Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/o/COVEY/queries/22 Surname: COVEY, RICHARDS, MCFARLAND, FOSTER ------------------------- I recently located a Henry CAREY (I believe my gggfather) in the 1850 Census for St. Lawrence County, New York. It lists his father as Lucius Carey age 47, and the other members by first name only followed by ditto marks for the last name. These include; Harriet age 37, Henry age 19, Deroxy age 17, Christopher C. age 5, Amanda age 2. Below them, but in the same household, is listed a Nathan COVEY age 42. Now I am almost certain that this 'Henry' is my gggfather, who went by the name COVEY as did all of his children, but I am not familiar with CAREY being a spelling variant. Has anyone run into this name variant while searching their COVEY lines. If anyone has any additional information on this family I would be most grateful to hear from you.
