Posted on: Pittsylvania Co. Va Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Pittsylvania?read=159 Surname: Covington ------------------------- My g-g-g-grandfather, Joseph A. Covington b abt 1780 in Va, lived in Pittsylvania County until about 1807 when he moved his family to Rockingham County, NC. It is believed that Edmond Covington and Fannie Pruitt of Pittsylvania County, Va may have been his parents. My g-g-g-grandmother's name is unknown to me at this time. Joseph's children by my g-g-g-grandmother are: William Covington b 5 Oct 1800 in VA Josiah Covington b 1 Oct 1805 in VA Nancy Covington by 29 Jun 1807 in VA Edmond (Edward) Covington b 14 Apr 1809 David Covington b. 24 Feb 1811 in NC Fanney Covington b 21 Mar 1813 in NC Catherine Covington b 1 Jan 1816 in NC John Anderson Covington b 7 Apr 1818 in NC (my g-g-gf) James H. Covington b. 7 Mar 1821 in NC Children by his second wife Elizabeth Hudnall (md. 1833): Richard A. Covington b. 4 May 1835 Charles William Covington b. 13 Feb 1835 Mary Susan Covington b. 27 Feb 1839 Joseph Covington died 26 May 1863 in Rockingham County, NC. Shortly afterward, Elizabeth Hudnall Covington and her children moved to Missouri to live near her sister's family. It seems that about all of Elizabeth Hudnall Covington's sibblings eventually moved to Missouri. I would like to "share and compare" with any Covington researcher! Please contact me if you know anything about any of the above named Covingtons!
