Bill, There were 1700's COVEYs in the Caroline Co,MD/Kent Co, DE area who were Nicolites (religious sect much like the Quakers only stricter.) Some of the people who lived in that area migrated (by 1800) to the Harrison Co, KY. area. However, I have no documentation on any COVEY families that did (although they may well have.) A branch of our family came ... Isaac and Jesse PAVEY, probably the SAFFORD/STAFFORDS and ADAMS families as well. Do you have any given names and/or dates? My COVEY vitals are in the 1700's, sorry I can't help you with anyone later . You may be surprised at how many COVEYs there actually are out there? Hope this helps. Marsha McWilliams Researching: PAVEY/PEAVEY/PEAVY and all its' spellings/mis-spellings. -----Original Message----- From: Billy Covey [mailto:BILLCOVEY@worldnet.att.net] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 1999 8:56 AM To: KYHARRIS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KYHARRIS-L] Covey Hi List: If you happen to run across any COVEY folks in your genealogical travels I would certainly like to hear from you. Although there are ver few of us, we seemed to have spread like wildfire throughout the United States. Anything you can help me with will be greatly appreciated. Bill Covey
