  GENERATION   Two

   NEHEMIAH COVINGTON. Ref: 5675. Born: around 1628 at Huntingdonshire. Father: Thomas, Father Ref: 6477. Mother: Ann, Mother Ref: 6478. 

   Died: 2 May 1681 at Somerset Co. MD aged 53.  Mar: around 1648 at Northampton MD to Vaughns, Mary 4030. 2nd Mar: July 1667 at Somerset

   Co. MD to Ingram, Anne 4936. Supposedly the first Covington to reach America. Various sources suggest he first arrived in U.S. in 1652 before

   returning to England shortly after having had a brush with the U.S. law for being a "single man" and was fined a quantity of tobacco (??). He then

   returned 10 years later with his pregnant wife and 6 children in 1662. However many of these sources are contradictory with regards to dates.

   Certainly the biggest myth expressed by researchers into Nehemiah is that he came from Coventry, Huntingdonshire, England. This is untrue as the

   only Coventry in England is in Warwickshire. However the village of Covington can be found in Huntingdonshire so this may be the cause of the

   confusion.

  

   Another source suggests the following: "Immigrated into Virginia in 1647, a colorful individual whose life has been well documented in many

   Delmarva ( Delaware) genealogies. From being accused of 'thieving cheese' and 'defaming a woman' on the eastern shore of Virginia, as an

   indentured servant to High Sherriff in the new county of Somerset, in ye new province of Maryland."

  

   Listed under patent of Nicholas Waddilow and Stephen Harsey in 1647, and under patent of Nicholas Waddilow in 1649. Signed the Oath to the

   Commonwealth Mar, 25, 1651 at Northhampton Co. Va.  In 1666 and 1674 was sworn in as Constable in Somerset Co.

  

   1st wife born c.1626, died Apr 1667 at Great Monie. 2nd wife was a widow, she died 1678 in Maryland. He was a Stone Mason, Grist Mill Builder &

   Tobacco Planter. First report of his name appears in Cavaliers & Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents & Grants, 1623-1666 by Nell Marion.

   Said to have been transported to Northampton County by Stephen Horsey and Nicholas Waddelow 13 July 1647. He signed engagement of loyalty

   to Commonwealth of England, March 1651/2. Was before court and fined, March 1652/3 for "incontinency before marriage" and in April 1653,

   appeared before court on account of trouble he was having with a person to whom he was evidently an indentured servant. Nehemiah went to

   Monie section (later Somerset County, Maryland) in 1662, bought cattle from Thomas Leister on 4 June 1666, settled 300 acres called Covington's

   Vineyard on north side of Great Monie Creek in November 1674, stating his age as about 46 years. He married his 2nd wife Anne Ingram July 1667

   who was the widow of Robert Ingram, they had been transported together to Maryland in 1664. Robert had died before July 1666 and they had had

   3 sons, John, James & Robert. Nehemiah and Anne were married by William Thorne Justice of the Peace, Somerset County.

   1 March 1680 conveyed by Thomas Walker (Som. Deeds 6:41). The land had been deeded to him and his brother, Nehemiah, by their father. At this

    time John was described as a planter.

  

   By his will, signed 17 Oct. 1693, John Coventon of "Great Muney" bequeathed to wife Mary 200 acres, "Second Choice," to pass at her death to son

   and Sarah had 5 children together: Nehemiah, b. circa 1676, John M born c.1678, Richard born c. 1680, Jacob born c.1682 and Joshua born

   c.1684

  

   Husband Julian Mezick, was born about 1645, perhaps as a Huguenot in France. It is not known where Julian came from originally, but it's theorized

   that he was a Huguenot, based on his choice to name his land for the Edict of Nantes (issued in 1598 and reviked in 1685, the Edict granted

   tolerance to the Huguenots in France).About 10 years after being transported in March of 1664/5 to Accomack County, VA by John Tilney,, he

   proved his right to 50 acres of land in Maryland.

   In September 1681, he acquired 100 acres in Nanticoke Hundred. All of this land he called Nantes, perhaps after the Edict of Nantes or after the city

    by that name in western France on the River Loire. In 1710, he deeded 200 acres of land on the south side of the Nanticoke River and on

   Wetipquin Creek to sons John, Jacob and Joshua. Julian's will, probated in June 1718, mentions his wife Priscilla and his children.

  

   Julian died in 1718, and left land on the south side of the Nanticoke River and on Wetipquin Creek.

   The following is an extract of correspondence found on the RootsWeb GenForum:

  

   "I'm readingCharles S. Sydnor, "A Gentleman of the Old Natchez Region: Benjamin L.C. Wailes," Duke University Press, Durham, N.C., 1938.

   Sydnor says that Benjamin L.C.'s father Levin went to sea with Captain James T. Magruder, *a relative,* AND that Benjamin's wife Rebecca Susan

   Magruder Covington was a *distant cousin.*

  

   Levin Wailes' grandfather (Benjamin, Sr.) married Elizabeth Covington, but I've been unable to make a connection with other Covington's who

   married Magruders. In short, where is the link between the Wailes and the Magruders or between Rebecca's father General Leonard Covington and

   Elizabeth Covington who married Levin Wailes' grandfather?

  

   My interest is that I'm descended from Levin Wailes' brother Edward Lloyd Wailes. Thanks."

  

   Reply

  

   "I think I can help you, my great-great grandfather James Ross married Sarah Howard Wailes. She was the daughter of Levin Wailes. Benjamin

   Wailes Sr. born in 1685 married Elizabeth Covington. They had to children: Levin Covington and Benjamin Jr. Benjamin Jr. married Sarah Howard.

    They had two children: Edward Lloyd and Levin. Edward Lloyd named for the Lloyd's of Prince George Co….Lloyd's of London family. Levin's

   children where Benjamin Lloyd Covingtion (BLC), Elizabeth Covingtion, Eliza Biggs, and Sarah Howard. BLC married Rebecca Covingtion,

   daughter of General Leonard Covingtion,who died in the Revolutionary War.

  

   Elizabeth Covington, who married Benjamin Sr. was the daughter of Nehemiah Jr. and Rebecca Denwood.

   The Magruder's married into the Covingtion's generations and the Magruder's of Sharon Mississippi married into the Wailes. All of them at some

   point where in Prince George, Co…kissing cousins. Any more info I can help. Some of the information on other website are incorrect. Since you read

    the book, the forward is wrong. It states the BLC is the grandson of Benjamin and Elizabeth Covingtion…that is incorrect. He was the great-

   grandson."

  

   Response

  

   "Since posting that original message, I have received additional data. The most useful with respect to the Wailes family is: Ernest C. Allnutt, Jr.,

   “The Wailes Family of Early Maryland and Some of Their Relatives on the Eastern and Western Shores,” Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin,

   36, No. 2, Spring 1995, 145-177.

  

   Captain James Truman Macgruder was Levin Wailes first cousin (son of Levin's mother's sister Elizabeth).

  

   Benjamin L.C. Wailes and his wife Rebecca Susan Magruder Covington were both 2nd cousins, once removed AND third cousins, once removed.

   They may not have been familiar enough with their respective family trees to be aware of that. It is evident that Sydnor didn't have sufficient access

   to the family genalogies to know that in 1938."

   Talbot MD to Hollyday, James . First husband was of Wye, Talbot County and was Governor of Maryland, 1709-13. He was a devout Quaker. An

   extract of his will dated 14 Feb 1710 provides "a tract of land called Snow Hill (200 acres) to be sold for money to be put in the hands of Major

   General Edward Lloyd and one negro gil (slave) for his son Philemon Lloyd Jr.

  

   Also had son Edward Lloyd and a daughter Rebecca Lloyd (Anerson). Sara's 2nd marriage was to James Hollyday of Queen Ann's County, member

   Ref: 4042.  Died: during 1725 at Prince George VA aged 40.  Mar: around 1707 at Maryland MD to Hollyday, Margery 4055. One story suggests that

    he was a French Huguenot, he emigrated to U.S. in 1695 and settled in Maryland. However the more logical research suggests he was born in

   Somerset Co MD.

  

   He established himself on an estate acquired on the Patuxent River in Prince George's County, comprised in part of an original grant made to

   Thomas Pagett by Lord Baltimore in 1695 and which, according to the title deeds, was bounded in part by "the ancient lines of the Qunraico

   Manor", the original Indian name, it is presumed, of the place which is now known as "Aquasco".

  

   There, at an early age he died in the family mansion erected in 1725, and there were born and raised his descendents for three generations.

  

   His will written 27 Jan 1724 and probate 24 Nov 1725, states: "To wife Margery & son Leonard, dwelling plantation equally during life of wife & at

   her decease to son Leonard and his heirs.

  

   To daughter Elizabeth & heirs 500 acre Hollydays Choyce. Residual of real estate on both Eastern & western shore, to be sold by executors if

   necessary for payment of debts: if not sold to be divided equally between son & daughter aforesaid equally. Executors to confirm sale of tract

   formerly bought off Thomas Paggett to Abraham Wilson & heirs for £100.

  

   To wife, son & daughter residue of personal estate equally" - Overseers Leonard Hollyday, James Hollyday, Bejamin Wailes, Robert King.

   "Covinton" in 1742 in Queen Anne's County. No month or day are included, and the compiler makes no mention of these omissions though other

   marriages prior to 1742 include this information.

  

   As yet, there is no known reference for the marriage of this William to Rachel, so there is no proof of her maiden name as Thomas. Her first name

   Rachel is known by William's will. It is even possible that he never married a Rachel & the one mentioned in his will is his step-mother!!

  

   Was a General in the Continental Army. William patented 140 acres as " Covington's Necessity " in Tully's Neck on the west side of Tuckahoo Creek

   in Queen Anne's Co., Md. In 1754, Wm. Bought " Rachel's Desire ", 37 acres, from Henry and Rachel Covington (his father and step-mother). He

   traded these tracts to Nathaniel Covington for 91 acres of " Hinsely's Plains ", also in Queen Anne's. This he later sold to Mathew & Tilghman in Nov

   1756.

  

   His wife, Sarah, joined in these conveyances. MD patent books TI #1, p. 494, BT & BY, p. 583, Queen Anne's Co., MD. Deed books RT #D, pp. 183,

   Can be found in the Anson Co. Deed Book H - I, p. 364. This land is now in Richmond Co. Wm was excused from paying Poll Tax in July Court 1788

    ( Richmond Co. ) because he was over 60 years old ( court minutes p. 146 ). Wm. Is reported to be a revolutionary patriot for furnishing supplies to

   the revolutionary army. Buried at Cartiledge Creek Baptist Church.

   Revolutionary Soldiers, Saiors, patriots, & Descendants, Vol I, p. 55:  William Covinton (RS-Adj-NC) 1726-1778, m. Mary Wall (1730-1780)]. 

  

   He served as Adjutant General to George Washington in the Continental Army and wrote the terms of surrender at Yorktown. Congress granted him

   2500 acres of land for his outstanding service. However there is confusion as to whether this William (who married Mary Wall on 26-Jul-1750) is

   actually the brother to John.

   fighting the Indians" (Elbert E. Covington (1980), "Covington and Kin," (McDowell Publ.) - however this is unlikely to be a true statement as he didn't

    die until 1809 and a transcript of his will dated Jan 1809, Richmond Co NC is as follows:

  

   "Will of John Covington Sr.: will book 1 page 134 Jan 1809 Richmond Co. NC

    woman named Tamar.

  

   And my will and desire is that my son John Covington shall have Tamar's three children namely: Lucy, Rachel and Isabell, together with all other

   increase if any there should be in order the family with all negroes should not be separted provided that he would pay to the different legatees, that

   is to say, pay to the children of my last and present wife, Nancy, their proportionable share of whatever sum of money my executors hereafter named

   should think Tamar's children to be worth and in order to make the value of ther difference equal and if my son John Covington should think proper

   not to do so, I wish my Executors to sell all the children Tamar now has or will have until my death to the highest bidder among the children of my

   last and present wife, Nancy Covington, and not to sell them out of the family of children of my last wife and my will and desire is that my Execturos

   hereafter named should have full power to make such and all contracts as they may think proper in the management of all my affairs.

  

   Item, I give and bequeath to my daughter, Elizabeth Cole one negro woman named Lucy to her and her heirs forever, also one cow and one calf.

  

   Item I give and bequeath to my son Benjamin a tract of land lying on the south fork adjoing Ed Williams and also adjoining John Covington's line

   on Brushy Creek of the First Broad River near his brother William. Thomas was on the 1782 composite roll of Sandy Run Baptist Church, Mooresboro,

    NC. Barbara Dixon Hurst says he and his family moved to Franklin Co., GA in the late 1780s. Land records and the rolls of the Sandy Run Baptist

   Church would indicate he did not make this move until 1803-1805. Some of his family probably stayed in NC. The Thomas Covington family is

   apparently the only Covington (Coventon) family at the Sandy Run Church.

  

   There are research sources who suggest that his parents were William (ref 10775) & Mary Walker. Birth dates tie up with the rest of their children in

   the Rutherford NC area, but as yet it is not possible to catagorically confirm or deny this view.

   4145.  Died: 14 Nov 1813 at French Mills NY aged 45.  Mar: 22 Oct 1789 at Aquasco MD to Somerville, Susannah 4169. 2nd Mar: around 1796 at

   Maryland to Mackall, Rebecca 3737. Left school at an early age to the care of a widowed mother, he and a younger brother, received a good

   English education and made such acquaintance with the classics as the local institutions of learning of that day could impart. Nurtured in the midst

   of the U.S. revolutionary struggle for independence, it is probable that the scenes by which he was surrounded may have given that direction to his

   ambition and inspired that love of country which devoted him to her defence and controlled his latter destiny.

  

   Among the earliest recollections of his childhood was the watching from an eminence at his home, commanding an extensive view down the

   Patuxent, the predatory parties of the British soldiery, who in their boat excursions were want to ravage and plunder the estates bordering upon the

   river; the same point from which he witnessed the burning of the mansion of a near relative at Hallowing Point, opposite Benedict, by these

   marauders.

  

   Arrived at manhood and having grown to be a big, raw boned 6 footer who enjoyed running and wrestling, his country firmly established under a

   free government and with the prospect of a career of prosperity, he contracted an early marriage, and settled down upon his paternal acres in the

   avocation of a planter, that of his ancestors, with little expection that the career upon which he had entered would be changed to one of strife and

   perilous adventure.

  

   His wife and first child died soon after 1790 and this tragedy gave him the wandering habit. Of those deaths, he wrote; " made a wreck of my

   domestic enjoyments and rendered distasteful my rural pursuits". He went to Philadelphia, dallied with the law and worked as an aide to Thomas

   Jefferson, then Secretary of State, splitting his time there and managing the family estates back home. Restless at 23, he entered the United States

   Army as a cornet of Cavalry on 14 March 1792.

  

   Commissioned Lieutenant of Dragoons by General Washington in 1793 and volunteered to fight Indians with Gen. "Mad Anthony" Wayne, a

   cavalryman who learned military tactics and mastered several Indian languages. While moving about in the northwest frontier, Covington struck up a

    close relationship with Merry Rivers, a beautiful, young, half-Irish, half-Indian maiden, whose father built forts for the Army. She travelled with him

   for several years and "cared for Covington's clothes, cooked meals and took care of his manly needs".

  

   He scouted for Wayne, located sites for forts, and at two major battles, Fort Recovery and Fallen Timbers, Miami, distinguished himself in battle.

   Wayne praised him in official reports for his "courageous, forceful" deeds and leadership. For his energetic charges, jumping over obstacles as in a

   steeple-chase, Indians gave him a name and reputation: "The Wind of Wayne". While Wayne was negotiating, Covington continued to go scouting

   for fort sites and settlements but returned to find that his love, Merry Rivers, had died of a summer fever. Although promoted to a captaincy he

   resigned 12 September 1795 to engage in further agricultural pursuits and politics back in Maryland.

  

   2nd Marriage; c.1796 to Mackall, Rebecca & had 6 children, names not known. He did some surveying for Jefferson, his old boss, and was

   sometimes a guest at Mount Vernon. Farming was not always prosperous when tobacco prices fell, and its production wore out the land.

  

   Covington and his brother kept looking for "a land of promise" even while he, the good Jeffersonian, served both for the Marland Senate and the

   House of Representatives. The frugal Covington didn't  like Annapolis or Washington, judging from his letters, which complained about too much

   spending, too much drinking and gambling, and too much "swish-swish" from powdered ladies. "Those epicurean Gents not faithful to their wives will

    fritter away their marriages, rob their children, and break down the foundation of their existence".

  

   He had been a member of the State House of Delegates for many years and was elected as a Democrat to the 9th Congress (4 March 1805 to 3

   March 1807), but he was a man of the outdoors, the frontier. He was appointed by his friend, now President Jefferson as Lieutenant Colonel of the

   regiment of Light Dragoons on 9 January 1809 and as Colonel on 15 February 1809, the only such regiment in the military. That year, he moved his

    family to the frontier of Mississippi and bought a plantation near Natchez that he called "Propinquity" because it was close to his base.

  

   Was in command at Fort Adams on the Mississippi in 1810 and took prossession of Baton Rouge and a portion of West Florida, making these years

   his best. He was training troops, skirmishing with Indians, surveying the wild country in Alabama and Florida, battling the Spanish, living outdoors,

   but able to return to his wife and plantation.

  

   When war was declared on Britain he was called back to Washington, ordered to the northern frontier and appointed Brigadier General by President


   Madison on 1 August 1813. He didn't like it but never flinched from an order. From Baltimore, he wrote to his brother "I long for victory and return to

   the embrace of my sweet family … If you must worry, do so about the strange gods of war". In November 1813 he was part of an invasion army of

   8,000 men on 300 boats that had started at Sachets Harbour, N.Y, and floated down the St Lawrence River amid the Thousand Islands. To move

   around dangerous rapids, the army had to land several times, and then back again to the water. Canadian Militia, with their Indian allies, resisted.

   Covington, the cavalryman par excellence, helped beat back these nipping attacks.

  

   On 11 November 1813, the Americans ran into a combined British-Canadian force, some 1,500 in all, near Williamsburg, Upper Canada, Ontario,

   some 70 miles from Montreal. The Battle of Chrysler's Field was fierce, one-fifth of those in it were killed or wounded. Covington led an attack on the

    enemy's right flank and helped drive them back. He was still on his horse urging his men forward against a second line of defence when a

   sharpshooter from a farmhouse shot him through the body. He fell where he always fought, at the head of his men, and survived but two days before

   he died at Frenchs Mills, New York on 14 November 1813. The campaign designed by Gen. James Wilkinson to capture Montreal, proved to be a

   dismal failure and all were turned back.During his final 48 hours he lamented to his aide-de-camp Lt. Col. Winfield Scott and others, that he had to

   die so far from his wife, his six children and his brother.

  

   His last words were recorded as being "Independence forever". He was buried at French Fields, where Fort Covington, N.Y. was established by the

   Canadian border and named after him. Seven years later his remains along with those of other fallen veterans were removed to Sackets Harbour,

   Jefferson County, New York, on 13 August 1820 and the place of burial is now known as Mount Covington.

  

   Covington, Louisiana; Fort Covington, New York; Covington, Kentucky; Covington, Georgia; Covington, Ohio; Covington County, Alabama;

   Covington, New York; Covington, Pennsylvania and Covington County, Mississippi, are named after him.

  

   “Fort Covington Namesake Died Leading Troops” - article by Erik M Zissu - Times Statt Writer

  

   FORT COVINGTON - A British sharpshooter leveled his weapon and shortened the life of Brigadier General Leonard Covington 176 years ago.

  

   “He fell where he always fought, at the head of his men, and survived but two days," according to a serialization of a work by historian Leonard

   Jamison.

  

   General Covington was killed while on horseback leading his brigade in what has come to be known as the Battle of Chrysler's Field, which was

   fought in nearby Upper Canada Village on Nov. 11,1813. The anniversary of that battle this year coincided with Veterans Day.

  

   Fort Covington, previously named French Mills, was named after the general who was brought to the shores of the Franklin County town where he

   died. But the body of General Covington was taken to Sackets Harbor in Jefferson County, along with the bodies of his aides who had also fallen

   during combat, on a barge in 1821.

  

   Today, the location of the general's grave, as well as that of Gen. Zebulon Montgomery Pike, who were the only generals to die during the War of

   1812, remains unknown.

  

   Historian Robert J. Brennan who says he has the most complete records of military cemeteries in Sackets Harbor, said it is uncertain whether the

   grave of the Maryland-born general will ever be located. But he has been trying to interest a newspaper in Covington, Kentucky, in starting a drive to

    place a marker at Sackets Harbor commemorating the general and his courageous leadership.

  

   Despite this project, the acts of General Covington have been revived somewhat by the placement of historical markers around Fort Covington in

   recent years.

  

   And in 1987, the Fort Covington Sun published 29 excerpts from Mr. Jamison's work about the little-known general Fort Covington Town Historian

   Jacqueline Harvey supplied several pieces of this historical writing that illuminates the general's last days and his death:

  

   Through the fall of 1813, the American Army was battling the British and their fleet, a Canadian militia and various Indian bands. General

   Coviington participated in several of these conflicts that raged on both present-day U.S. soil as well as on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence

   River.

  

   On Nov.10, 11 days after the general's 45th birthday, a contingent of soldiers and an accompanying flotilla moved down the river near Upper

   Canada Village. That night, the soldiers were forced to lie on their weapons to keep them dry from a heavy rain. Voicing apprehension about the

   ferocity of the engagements up to that point, the soldiers forced General Covington to address them regarding their duties.

  

   “We have no choice but to onward because without independence and liberty, there would be no choice," the general is supposed to have said.

  

   Whether these words had a calming effect on the soldiers, the brigade was up in the morning and continued to march along the St. Lawrence River

   toward Chrysler's Field. The British also advanced as the opposing sides reached the field. General Covington was not required to participate in the

   battle, but did so to aid the American approach.

  

   As he rode with his men into the fight, General Covington moved toward the British artillery. After pushing them back from the left side of the attack,

   he attracted the attention of a group of sharpshooters who were holed up in a house on the field.

  

   "At this critical moment, while bravely leading his men, he was shot through the body. His fall disconcerted the brigade and a shower of grape shot

   at that moment scourged it severely," one account of the battle reads.

  

   From the battlefield, the general was brought across the river and up the Big Salmon River to a house in French Mills Three days later, he died and

   was buried, only to be later taken to Sackets Harbor where the regiment was stationed.

  

   In 2007 there is to be a new headstone at Mount Covington Demetery to commercate his death (courtesy of Gary O'Dell - Odellcaptain@aol.com)

     Died: 1788- 1791 at Maryland MD aged 41.  Mar: during 1765 at Maryland MD to Webb, Robert . Lived long enough to see her eldest son John

   Turner Webb, marry Patty Covington (11512), daughter of Henry Covington (11506). After her death, her husband Robert married again and died in

   1816 leaving 16 living children. By age we can tell some of the ones that belonged to Keziah and we know three who moved to Tennessee with

   Sophia Chears, Robert's second wife, after his death.

  

   Robert and his father, John Webb, were important in the history of Anson/Richmond County, NC and signed the Anson Reglators petition in 1769,

   protesting against exorbitant import taxes. Robert had approx five royal land grants, ownig 1000 acres and three slaves at his death. In his will he

   freed the slaves after seven years. He was the "Entry Taker" keeping book with record of ownership of land. He served 7 years in the State Legislature

    and 6 in the Senate. His daughter Susan Webb (11825), married Christopher Columbus Covington (11754) (info from Irene Webb Dorsey Mar 2002)

   of the Colonel, had won the affections of Elizabeth, the daughter of Rev. Robert Thomas, and, leaving his five brothers in Richmond county, North

   Carolina, had settled upon the north side of Little Pee Dee in Robeson, North Carolina, and was building up a comfortable home when the

   revolution came on.

  

   His sympathy with the patriot cause soon made him an object of dislike to his loyalist neighbors, who stripped him of his means of living and left him

    with nothing but his family. Leaving his wife and babies  with her friends, he sought his revenge in the ranks of the patriot army. When the war

   ended, he settled upon a farm beside his brother-in-law, Nathan Thomas, upon the plains of Hebron. (Traditions by Col John Covington 1897 -

    as Uncle Billy.

  

   Rockingham Market Newspaper, 21 Jul 1927, Everett Sketches (an article on Covington history) refers to "Sugar Ben" and "Uncle Billy" as brothers.

   However according to Covington Lores and Legends they were in fact, 1st cousins. "Uncle Billy" being Willam, the 6th child of John Covington and

   Hannah Dockery while "Sugar Ben" was Benjamin, the 1st son of Banjamin Covington and Francis Mooreman. The fathers, John (b 1752) and

   Benjamin (b 1757) were the sons of William Covington (b 1730).

  

   It is complicated to confirm actual facts as another source confirms he is son of same John but with his second wife Nancy Love (Wall) and that his

   middle name is Wall. I have therefore treated them as 2 separate individuals, be it with the same father. See also William Wall Covington (11438). I

    would be grateful for some clarification There is also possible confusion with William (11251) who is also listed as marrying a Rachel Thomas.
