the seige of Ft. Meigs. Both brothers were
discharged from the army at Burlington and eventually crossed the Ohio River
and settled at

He was a
farmer and in 1815 purchased 82.37 acres of land legally described as the NW
1/4 Sec 14 T4N R2W located in Washington
township,
Dearborn Co IN and physically described as 1 1/4 miles north of Hartford (then
known as Laughery) and across the ford in
Laughery
Creek, on the west side of Cole Lane road.
In 1833 he sold
the farm and bought land in Illinois with land grants issued to him for his
military service. The land is believed to have been
located in
Crane Creek Township, Mason Co IL. Upon his return to Indiana his eldest son
George (10966) contracted a fever (probably
Typhoid)
and died June 8 1833. Two months later Thomas developed the same fever and

SAMUEL F COVINGTON. Ref: 10986.
Born: 1819- 1820 at Rising Sun, Ohio Co IN. Father: Covington, Robert E, Father
Ref: 10976.
Mother:
Fulton, Mary, Mother Ref: 10985. Mar: 1
Apr 1843 at Dearborn Co IN to Hamilton, Mary 20718. S. F. Covington, now residing at
Cincinnati,
and John B. Covington, of Rising Sun, are the sons of Robert E. and Mary
Covington, and the only children, except one son who
died in
early infancy.
Hon. Samuel
F. Covington, who has won considerable distinction in Cincinnati, Ohio, is a
native of Rising Sun. His early boyhood
and
manhood
were passed in the village, as were his maturer years. He received the benefit of the excellent
schools which Rising Sun was
fortunate
in having, then completed his education at Miami University, located in the
town of Oxford, Ohio,
In early
life he was employed as a clerk in some of the village stores, for a time was
clerk on a steamboat, edited and published a weekly
newspaper styled
the Rising Sun Blade, and subsequently the Madison Courier. As editor of the Blade he played a
conspicuous part in
affecting
the division of Dearborn County, and the formation of Ohio County. In the absence of the sheriff, as deputy, Mr.
Covington was the
officer who
organized the new county, and served as its first auditor.
He later
represented the legislative district, composed of the counties of Switzerland
and Ohio, in the State Legislature. He
was admitted to
the bar at Rising Sun, in 1845. While a resident of that place, he was for a
time engaged in the Ohio River trade, and was connected with
the Rising
Sun Insurance Company. His name is
identified with the growth and improvement of the city which he yet retains
great interest
in, and
most kindly feeling for her citizens. To
such an extent is this the case that he keeps up his identity with the place,
and is probably
better
posted in the history of Rising Sun and the surrounding country, than any man in it, as the reader of the foregoing
general history may
infer from
the copious quotations from his writings.
He married his wife in Rising Sun, who was a
Miss Hamilton, a daughter of one of the merchants of the village. Of Mr. Covington's more
recent
life, reference can be found in the chapter on journalism, in the history
proper of this volume. ("HISTORY OF

Father Ref: 10986.
Mother:
Hamilton, Mary, Mother Ref: 20718.
Died: 1 Jun 1865 at US Civil War aged 20. "Lieut George B Covington, adjutant of
the
Seventeenth
Indiana Volunteers (Wilder's Mounted Infantry). was wounded in an engagement
near Dallas, Ga., on the 24th of May.
The
regiment
was forming in the line of battle, and Lieut. Covington was engaged in
correcting the line when he was shot by a rebel
sharpshooter. The ball entered the left breast, passed
through the left lobe of the lungs and lodged in the spinal column. The surgeon
pronounced
the wound inevitably fatal, and the only hope was that he might possibly live
to see home. Wheeler's rebel cavalry had
made a
raid in the
rear of our army, so that he could not be started home till the 30th. He had to be transported in an ambulance a
distance of thirty
miles, to
Kingston, where he was put on the cars for Chattanooga. While on the cars, between Dalton and Resaca,
on the 1st of June, he
died.
The detail
which had started home with him had, under instructions of Col. Wilder, in
event of death on the way home, the body embalmed at
Chattanooga and brought on to Nashville, where
they were met by Lieut. Covington's parents.
The body was brought to this city and
interred on
the 9th inst. George B. Covington was
born in Rising Sun, March 28, 1845, so that he had but a short time since
entered upon
his
twentieth year.
He first
entered service on July 4, 1861, and went to West Virginia with Col. (now
General) Hascal, then commanding the Seventeenth. He
afterward
returned home, but rejoined the regiment, then under Col. Wiler, September,
1862, and was with Col. Wilder at the several days
battle
at Mumfordsville, and was, at the
surrender of that place, made a prisoner.
He was exchanged at the same time with Col. Wilder, in
November,
and proceeded with him to the front, and was in various engagements proceeding
the battle of Stone River.
The brigade
commanded by Col. Wilder, being mounted, was assigned hazardous duties, and was
engaged in a great many skirmishes,
some of
which, in other times, would be set down as battles of considerable
importance. It was Wilder's brigade that
checked the rebel
advance at
Chickamauga when Davis' and McCook's divisions fell back, and dealt such deadly
shots into the rebel lines. The brigade
being armed
with Spencer rifles, six-shooters, felt themselves competent to cope with six
rebel brigades, and they did even more at
Chickamauga. It was for gallant conduct at this battle
that Col. Wilder had Lieut. Covington promoted to the adjutancy of the
Seventeenth.
Lieut.
Covington fell at his post and in the discharge of his duty. H made no complaint of his fate.
During the
several days he was detained in starting home, after being wounded, the battles
were continued, and he was within hearing the
roar of
cannon and the rattle of musketry. He
several times remarked that he wished he was able to be with his regiment. He
met death
calmly and
quietly, as he had often braved dangers.
He felt that he was about to die in a holy cause and in the
conscientious discharge of a
noble
duty. His last words, sent through Col.
Wilder to his friends at home, were 'Tell father and mother that I have tried
to do my duty, and
that I die
a Christian soldier.'
The large
and solemn concourse that attended his funeral asserts the estimation in
which he was held here, the place of his
birth, and the
fondness with
which his memory will be cherished by those who knew him." On the day of his funeral at Rising Sun, both
the circuit court
and the
commissioner's court, both of which were in session, adjourned to attend the
funeral, , and that, on motion of Judge Downey,
suitable
testimonial to his character was placed upon the records of the circuit court,
and a like testimonial, on motion of Henry Brown, one
of the
commissioners, was placed upon the records of the commissioner's court.

Helen Joan 11008. Died: 7 Dec 2003 at LaPorte Co IN aged 94. Was born at 194 Cedar
Street,
Anamosa IA (is now a parking lot). Went to Anamosa High School 1 Sep 1923 and graduated on 30 May 1927.
Later the same
year he
moved in with brother Neil Yates and his wife in Freeport IA and his first job
was with the Burgess Battery Co. He then worked at the
Freeport Electric Shop. He says he then
"faked" his way to being an electrician first class and moved to
Aurora IL and worked for the May
Electric
Co.
His next
move in 1930 was to Gary IN where he worked for the National Tube Co, but was
laid off as the depression hit in 1932 so at age 23
he returned to Anamosa IA where he did some
odd electrical jobs and cut wood at the local timber yard. In 1933 he worked
for Metcalf
Electric
Co, before joining the Civilian Conservation Corps at their camp in Maquoketa
IA on 2 Apr 1934 at a salary of $30 per month.. The
camp moved
to Cascade IA on 12 Aug 1934 and it was here that he met Catharine Bisenius who
was to later become his wife. On 17 Oct
1934 the
camp moved to a new location at Sigourney IA.
The
depression was lifting by 1935 so he decided to leave the U.S. government and
he was discharged to take up work at Hall Mfg Co.
This was
temporary and on his 26th birthday he began work for the local Sears store as a
radio and refridgeration repair man travelling an
area of
about 75 miles around Cedar Rapids.
They married
at St Mary Church in Cascade IA with Msgr. Albers performing the ceremony. The
reception was at her parents home and
they took a
short honeymoon trip to Canada via Detroit for one week. They returned to Cedar
Rapids.
Sears
transferred him to the buying offices in Chicago on 24 Jun 1940 and they lived
with her sister and her husband Harry and Hilda
Rupkey
prior to moving into an apartment in Oak Park IL. By 1948 they had 3 children
and needed a bigger home so bought a new house
under
construction in Brookfield. They moved in 15 Nov 1948.
He finally
retired from Sears after 35 and a half years on 31 Jan 1972. His second
marriage took place at the Sacred Heart Church in
LaPorte IN.
He sold the home in Brookfield and also his 2nd wife's home in Laporte IN using
the funds to buy a new model home in Cougar
Drive in
1972. In 1973 he purchased an unimproved property at Bella Vista AR on a large
lake retirement area.
He and
Helen travelled extensively from 1974 to 1985 all over the U.S. actively seeking
information about his early Covington relations.
Even after
Helen's death in 1985 he continued to travel and wintered in Florida until
1992. He had suffered a stroke on 19 Mar 1984 which
by 92 was
affecting his equilibrium and this ruled out long driving. Walking with a cane
was satisfactory until 20 Aug 1994 when the use of a
walker was
made necessary.
His work on
the Covington History has been catalogued in a number of volumes: Vol 1 -
Runion, Drake, Ross, Howell and Yates. Vol 2 - The
Covington Families. Vol 3 - The Lisle
