  GENERATION   One

ROBERT COVINGTON (22443). Born: about 1500 in Bedfordshire. Father: not known (0). Mother: not known (0). Mar: about 1525 in

Bedfordshire to Thorpe, Louisa (22444). Died: 23 Dec 1577 in Thurleigh, Bedfordshire aged 77. Buried at Saint Peters Lutheran Church

Cemetery, Thurleigh, Bedford Borough, Beds, where he is shown as Rob in the records..

 

Limited information is available regarding the exact birth dates & location for Robert, other than that it is believed he was born in Beds. The

first recorded use of the name in 1011 was "Bedanfordscir," meaning the shire or county of Bedford, which itself means "Beda's ford" (river

crossing).The county town of Bedford is 46 miles (74 km) miles north-northwest of London, 65 miles (105 km) southeast of Birmingham, 25

miles (40 km) west of Cambridge and 19 miles (31 km) east-southeast of Northampton

 

The southern end of the county is on the chalk ridge known as the Chiltern Hills. The remainder is part of the broad drainage basin of the

River Great Ouse and its tributaries. Most of Beds's rocks are clays and sandstones from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, with some

limestone. Local clay has been used for brick-making of Fletton style bricks in the Marston Vale. Glacial erosion of chalk has left the hard

flint nodules deposited as gravel—this has been commercially extracted in the past at pits which are now lakes, at Priory Country Park,

Wyboston and Felmersham. The Greensand Ridge is an escarpment across the county from near Leighton Buzzard to near Gamlingay in

Cambs.

 

 

Thurleigh - Excavations have shown evidence the locality was occupied in The Iron-Age, Roman and Saxon periods. Appears in The

Domesday Book of 1086. By 1372 it is Thyrleye. In 1813, Thurleigh, or Thurley, is recorded as being in the Hundred of Willey and the

Deanery of Eaton. The scribes were particularly ecclesiastical for the county as Lega is a very Latin-esque form of leigh. The latter is a very

common word, rarely used today for meadow or clearing (lea) almost certainly an Anglo-Saxon word. Perhaps preceded by the definite

article,. Being in the Danelaw however a link to Thor cannot be ruled out, i.e. Thorlea. There was a church here in Saxon times. The current

church has some parts still dating from around 1150, and at about that same time a castle was built here. (Last updated: 19/04/2020
