Hello,I am Jan. and Nixon Covey is ,was my 2nd. gr grandfather, he was B: Mar. 1, 1791, he says in his diary and she was B: Feb, 22, 1811, which makes him twenty years older, really not that much, but as a fam., we have pondered on the subject, The Margaret Wells, I will have to ask my 1st. cousin as she has done an extesive research on our 2nd. gr grandfather , and she might have done research on her since she knew that she Margaret Wells lived with them, He and Susan was M: May 28,1828, and she was B: what 1832? In the census, the William L.D., Nixon diary says,William Leonider Lyciurgus Covey B: Dec.the 15 1832 and departed this life July the 28th.1859, we can see how one can be missed led, because names and dates are somehow wrongly submitted. I dont think as Margaret being the rel. or it would have been put in his diary as such, Thank you, Jan. Jean Dalrymple wrote: > > Thanks for the information, I am forwarding it on to the lists...
