Henry Bridges Covington & Jane Smith Jane Smith was the daughter of Simon Smith and Isabella McRae Would you happen to know who the parents of Henry Bridges Covington were? Would appreciate any help on his family. Thanks for any help, Toni McLeod Allen, Michigan ======================== Henry Bridges Covington (born 14 Oct. 1804) was the son of William Covington (1777-1855) and Nancy Bridges. Nancy was the daughter of John Bridges and the sister of William Bridges. The daughter Hariett (1804-1862) of William Bridges married John Covington (1801-1890), brother of Henry Bridges Covington, so there were multiple connections between the Bridges and Covington families. William Bridges was my ggg-grandfather. Best regards, Ron Bullock
