Posted on: COVEY Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/c/o/COVEY/queries/24 Surname: Covey, Crandall, Darnielle, Reed, Scott ------------------------- When names were hand written, the "V" in Covey often looked like an "R". Also, many names were mispelled by census takers. My ancestor was Alpheus Covey, and he was in Pittsown, Rennselar Co., NY in 1810 & 1820. I know nothing more about him, except that he had son Alpheus Covey.
