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.

to Brent, Mary 4041. Had a parcel of land laid out
called "Sassafras
Neck", lying and being in Somerset County on the east side of Chespeake
Bay, partly marsh and partly woodland - Being in the
mouth of King's Branch
dividing from the land of Capt. Manning and land formerly laid out for Nehemiah
Covington (see entry No.5675), 150 acres,
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
Nehemiah, then (if
Nehemiah should have no heirs) to son Philip. Son John was to have 150 acres,
"Sassafras Neck," which was to pass to son Philip

Mezick, Julian . She was born around 1654 in
Huntingdonshire, and
moved to US into Somerset County, MD with her family in 1662. She and her
sister Katherine may have been twins. Julian
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."

Mother: Denwood, Rebecca, Mother
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.

during 1768 at North
Carolina NC to Thomas, Rachel 11253. Maryland Marriages 1634-1777 by Robert
Barnes gives this marriage as William
"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,
289, RT #E, p. 86. First
Covington in Anson Co., NC. Had a land grant deeded 25 Jan 1768. For 20 pounds,
Wm. Bought from John Long and Mary
Blacksmith, 150 acres on
Baggots Branch of Cartiledge Creek, NE side of Pee Dee River, as granted to
Abraham Baggot on 5 Dec 1760.
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.

Covington, (11249), and
Mary Airey, served as Captain in the Virginia Colonial Army under General
George Washington. [Maddox, NC

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.

to his will dated 1803 he was "killed by

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

arising from the sale should be equally

Could be the same Benjamin mentioned in following piece about: "Thomas
Everett (1742-1837),
husband of Elizabeth Covington (11264), was in Anson County by 1775, his first
militia service. He seems not to have been a
landowner there until
March 1779 when he bought from Benjamin and Fanny Covington 325 acres on Jones
Creek, witnessed by William Hunter
and Henry Covington. In
1784 Thomas traded this tract to Matthew Covington in return for 271 acres on
Peters Branch of Cartledges Creeek,
withnessed by John
Covington and William Hunter". (Anson Co., N.C., Deed Book 7, p. 107:

54. Mar: around 1780 at Rutherford Co NC
to Susannah 10792. In 1801 he purchased land
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.

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

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

to Thomas, Elizabeth 13571. John, the grandfather
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.

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.

17825. Died: during 1837 at Amite Co MS aged
62. Mar: 16 Feb 1796 at Rutherford Co NC
to Covington, Susannah P 10783. The John V.
Covington, Jr. who
married the daughter of Thomas (10778), Susanna in 1796 may well have been
John's son and first cousin of the bride. They
lived after marriage at
Carnesville GA. Will of 1837 is located in the courthouse at Liberty MS.
John moved to Georgia
sometime after 1796. It is believed several Covington families moved to Georgia
during the same period. He served in the
War of 1812, during the
year of 1814. His service commenced on November 21, 1814, and was to expire on
May 20, 1815. He was in Company C,
Riflemen, 4th Regiment
of the Georgia Militia. Company Commander was Captain Adam G. Saffold.
Battalion Commander was Lt. Col. Jones.
The company pay roll
shows his service actually expired on May 6, 1815, at Ft. Hawkins. His time of
service was charged as 5 months, 23 days. He
was paid travel pay from
his home to the rendevous with his company, and back. Distance from his home to
the rendevous was 60 miles, therefore
the round trip distance
was 120 miles. He was allowed 8 days for the round trip. He was paid $46.65
travel pay. A company muster roll shows he was
present at Camp Hope on
December 10, 1814.
Another company muster
roll shows he was present but sick at Camp 3 Mile Creek on March 1, 1815. After
the war, John moved his family to Amite
County, Mississippi.
Heirs named in the will
of John Covington, signed September 10, 1837; probated July 23, 1838: Sons John
R. Covington, Thomas Covington, and
William Covington.
Daughters Nancy L. Covington, Mary E. Whittaker, and Susan E. Williams.

Sussanah were married and living in Fayette Didtrict, Richmond County, North

to have been married only a short while
at that time.

62. Mar: around 1828 at North Carolina
NC to Thomas, Cecelia Stuart
5759. Another source
suggests that he may have had a first wife named Francis Dockery Thomas. (D E
Covington 1991). According to 1840-1860
census they lived in the
Black Jack Distroict of Richmond Co. He was a farmer having Real Estate of
3,000 and a personal estate of 10,000 (WD
Bostick Aug 2001)
The family of William
and Celia Covington are listed in the 1850 census as living in the Black Jack
District of Richmond Co., NC (#943):
William Covington, 48m
(b abt 1802), farmer, NC
Celia Covington, 32f (b.
abt 1818), NC (transcriber’s error?)
Edwin Covington, 20m (b.

Presley Covington, 19m

Mary Covington, 17f (b.

John Covington, 10m (b.
abt 1840), NC
Thomas Covington, 6m (b.
abt 1844), NC
William Covington, 1m
(b. abt 1849), NC
The family of William
and Celia Covington are listed in the 1860 census as living in the Black Jack
District of Richmond Co., NC. (p. 734, line 37;
Household #502):
COVINGTON, William L.;
age 58 (b abt 1802); farmer; real estate 3,000; personal estate 10,000.
COVINGTON, Celia; age 32
(b abt 1828); domestic.
COVINGTON, Thos. B., age
15 (b. abt 1845).
COVINGTON, William, age
11 (b abt 1849).
BOSTICK, Mary A., age 27
(b. abt 1833); domestic.
BOSTICK, Wm, age 5 (b.
abt 1855).
In this pre-war era,
they are relatively prosperous; a net worth of $13,000 in 1860 would be
equivalent to abt $280,000 in the year
2001.
In 1857, W.L. Covington
prepared his will (Richmond Co., NC, Will Book Vol. 4, p. 186), leaving
extensive property to his wife for her use during her
lifetime. However, after William’s death in 1864,
Sherman and the U.S. Army passed through the county on the “March to the Sea.”
Much of the
property that was to go
to William’s widow was destroyed by U.S. troops; the Confederate bonds and
certificates were now worthless; the Negroes
were emancipated. After
the war, the children of William L. Covington pooled their own inheritance to
provide Celia the means to maintain a small
farm.
From M. Bridges (2001),
Estate Records 1772-1933 Richmond County, North Carolina, Book I, p. 287: “An
agreement entered into by and between
the heirs of W. L. Covington, dec’d for the benefit of our
Mother. The consideration being that much of the property that was given to her
by the will
of our father was
destroyed by the Army in 1865. Now each
of us agrees among ourselves to give to our mother, without sale or division,
each and al
of our parts or interest in the household and
kitchen furniture and such farming tools as we may judge necessary for her to
carry on a small farm all
of which the will was
ordered to be sold and equity divided among his children, all for her use and
benefit so long as she may live.
Then all that remains
must be sold and divided among the heirs. We also instruct the executors to the
will of our father to act in accordance with the
agreement set forth in
this article and do hereby relieve them of the sale or division of the property
herein mentioned. In witness whereof we
do
hereunto set our hands
and seals this July 1870. (signed) E. P. Covington, T. B. Covington, M. C.
Ellerbe and wife N. W. Ellerbe, M. A. Bostick, W. L.

THE ROBERT DOCKERY
FAMILY STORY
Robert Dockery Covington
was a college graduate, who helped on his father's plantation raising cotton
and tobacco. His wife, Elizabeth Ann Thomas
was born April 21, 1820 in Marlboro District
of South Carolina and on February 2, 1839 she married Robert Dockery
Covington. John's parents
moved shortly after
their wedding to Marlboro County, South Carolina. The next move came with Robert's parents,
Thomas B. Covington, known as
"Big
Tommie" and Jane Thomas. They
settled in Summerville, Noxbee, Mississippi. They Established large plantations
and they prospered,
because of Jane Thomas's
relatives, having settled there since 1834, also the rich soil and plenty of
slave labor helped a great deal. This was the
place where John Thomas
Covington was born on August 4, 1840.
It was three years
later, on January 1, 1843 that John's sister Emily June Covington was born.
Around this time, Daniel Thomas had brought home a
Book of Mormon. And
after Robert Dockery Covington and his wife had heard Elder Clapp preach for
two weeks, they were baptized into the Church
of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints on February 3, 1843, in Noxbee County, Mississippi by
Benjamin Clapp. Although most of Elizabeth's family
joined the church,
Robert's family thought that he had lost all his reason. Little did Robert's
parents, Thomas B. Covington and Jane Thomas,
realize that the son
whom they had greeted with open arms at his birth, August 2, 1815 in
Rockingham, Richmond, North Carolina, would one day
be disinherited by
themselves. In fact, in Covington books
written by non L.D.S. authors, Robert's name isn't listed among the children.
Although, his
older brother James, who also joined the
L.D.S. church and moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. Nancy later returned to
Mississippi in a state of
disillusionment.
Soon after Robert had
joined the Church, he longed to join the Saints in Nauvoo. At this time he was
overseer on two plantations. He set his
slaves
free, which was
protested by the slaves because of their deep love for Robert. Now preparations to leave got underway. On
February 1, 1845 Sarah
Ann Covington was born.
John had a new baby sister. John Thomas Covington was not yet 5 years old, and
stories have been told that he "baptized"
many of his negro playmates in the muddy
ponds before his family left for Nauvoo.
Robert Dockery Covington
and Elizabeth Ann Thomas Covington received their endowments January 20, 1846
in the Nauvoo temple. Soon John
Thomas Covington lost
his sister Catharine Covington, born 1846 and died in 1846 in Nauvoo, Illinois.
He also was to lose his toddler sister Sarah,
born 1845 in Mississippi
and died October 16, 1846 in Winter Quarters.
John had gone from a life of wealth and plenty, to a life of great needs
and
want, but these
circumstances and happenings were not all that happened to this family.
In 1847, Robert,
Elizabeth along with children John and Emily started for Utah in the Edward
Hunter Company under the direction of Captain
Daniel Thomas. Elizabeth was expecting again and the ordeals
the Saints had to suffer had made inroads on her health. It must have been a
trying
journey for it seemed that the forces of the
elements were pitted against them. The dust storms, the hail storms, lack of good
water, and wood to
burn, with Indians
camped on the opposite bank of the Platt River stampeding cattle crossings
often to beg or trade for food that was such a scarce
commodity. Sometimes
they swarmed in their camp like bees and would often help themselves to
whatever was handy. Housewives would often be
missing their camping
and cooking equipment.
One day while the men
were fixing broken wagons they stopped near some currant bushes. Robert D. sent
his children John and Emily with buckets
to gather what they
could. They worked hard picking clean the currant bushes as they went. Just as
they finished filling their buckets full of currants,
an Indian stepped from
behind a bush and gave a war hoop. The children dropped their buckets and fled
to the camp. When they neared the camp
they looked back and saw
the Indian with their currants laughing at his huge joke.
On the morning of August
1, 1847 it was quiet, the heat was terrific. The party of immigrants had called
a halt. Saints had not found wood to burn
for 11 days and the
water was unfit to drink. Some of the animals had died by licking alkali off
the ground. They also had wagons to fix. Mrs.
Sessions, the midwife
was called to take care of Elizabeth Covington. Mrs. Sessions had a buggy so
she drove back to the second hundred a distance
of some 5 miles. She, Mrs. Sessions brought
Sister Covington back to her camp and put her to bed with a new son, Robert
Laborious Covington.
This all took place in
Scotts Bluff, Nebraska.
The Saints were halted
here for the day and A.O. Smoot called a meeting and pleaded with the Saints to
be more united and to trust in the Lord,
and to consider these experiences
like a school, readying them for leadership positions. The saints had many
hardships to bear during their track
westward, some times
traveling many miles only finding sparse food for their cattle and other
animals, Indians often came into camp and would
spread blankets on the
ground wanting to trade or be fed, the Saints were counseled not to trade with
them, but to feed them. Their was much
sickness and death among
the pioneers. Eliza R. Snow was a great comfort to the sorrowing, on one occasion
she remarked, "Death makes
occasional inroads among
us. Nursing the sick, tending wagons was laborious service. The patient
faithfulness with which it was born. To consign
loved ones to these
desolate graves was enough to try the hearts of the strongest."
On August 5, they camped
8 to 9 miles from Fort Laramie where the food was plentiful and the water was
good, they stayed here for 5 days to fix
wagons in need of
repair, wash clothes, mend them and to bake. While camping here some bears near
the camp disturbed their sleep. Two Indian
women who were gathering
berries nearby saw these bears and they left gatherings for the bears, some of
the pioneers in the company witnessed
this.
Traveling became very
hard and was going very slow due to the rough terrain, there were hills to
climb and several wagons broke. In September, the
pioneers crossed miles of sand and the winds
blew very hard, here they saw fearful storms and sand, rain, and snow. They
encountered pioneers
going back East to help
the remaining Saints travel West. These travelers camped all night with the
party and gave them words of encouragement
and of telling them
about their new homes in the West. Their words were welcomed and there was a
feast prepared by the women of the company
that night.
The last miles into the
valley were hard ones because of the cold and rugged mountains they had to
travel. But arrive they did on September 24,
1847. The Robert Dockery
Covington family arrived in the valley, the trip had taken it's toll though for
Robert's wife was frail, the hardships had all
but taken her strength.
She hoped to get stronger, but the cold winter winds along with a severe cold only
added to her troubles, and on December
7, 1847 she left her
devoted family to carry on her good name.
Marian Adair, a good
person helped the family out by helping with the new baby, since milk was very
scarce she fed the baby buttermilk and
clabber.
Robert Dockery Covington
next married a widow, Malinda Allison Kelly, so John, Emily, and baby Robert
had a new stepmother and stepsister Kate.
This family settled in
the Big Cottonwood Ward in Salt Lake City. While they were in Big Cottonwood,
Robert was able to teach school and was
called "Professor
Covington". This is also the area that they lived in when the locust
infested Salt Lake Valley. Their crops were spared and they
shared their food with
their starving neighbors.
In the fall of 1849,
John Thomas Covington was only 9 years old when his father accepted a call to
be a missionary in the Southern States. And on
December 28, 1849, a new
daughter was born to Malinda and Robert, she was named Mary Ellen Covington.
May Ellen Covington
didn't meet her father till she was almost 7 years old and John was almost 16.
That was in the spring of 1856, when Robert
returned from the
Southern States mission.
Robert Dockery Covington
took a plural wife on December 28, 1856.
Her name was Nancy Roberts. To this union was born three children
Pheobe,
Thomas, Malinda, when
Nancy Roberts died, Robert's second wife Malinda mothered her children as well
as those of Robert's first wife Elizabeth.
This Covington family
accepted a calling to settle Dixie and moved to Washington, Washington County
Utah. John Thomas Covington found
himself in new
surroundings once again, and on August 1, 1857, the son of the Bishop of
Washington Ward. John's next few years were filled with
hard work, planting,
harvesting of grains, corn, tobacco, and cotton. In 1858, Grape cuttings from
California were planted as well as chinese sugar
cane. And in 1861 peach
stones were planted and the peach trees began to grow.
Robert Dockery
Covington's family prospered and built a spacious home, he, Robert D. had cut
large stones from a nearby mountain and built a
grand home for those day
pioneers. The walls were three feet thick and built Colonial style. There were
two fireplaces on each of the three floors.
The upper floor was used
for years as a dance floor for the young people, many people spoke of their
generous and good hospitality.

Permelia 14689. His early years were
largely passed in travel
for the benefit of his health, but during this period he gained considerable
experience in planting by acting in the capacity
of overseer.
About the year 1850 he
married Miss Dillard and located in Stewart county, Ga., where for a few years
he resided on rented land and then
purchased a plantation.
Subsequently he disposed of this land and moved to Chattahoochee county,
purchased another tract of land and farmed
until 1858, when he came
to Alabama and settled in Dale county, near the present home of his son, Perry
F. Here he bought his third plantation,
which he improved with a
good dwelling and outbuildings, and placed under a high state of cultivation.
He took an active part
in the upbuilding of the county, and was especially energetic in advancing
church and school interests. A democrat in politics,
he freely gave his services to the Confederacy
during the late war, and after its close led a peaceful life until April, 1888,

newspapers: "Daily

According to the LDS
files, after the death of James Bostick, Mary Covington(AFN: 171L-GR8)
remarried to Burton Downey (AFN: 171H-96G; b. Abt
1834) on 21-Aug-1856,
about 3 months after the death of James Bostick. If this is our Mary Covington,
she was soon widowed once again. Downey
enlisted as a private in
D Co., 16th Inf. Regt., NC, CSA, on 17-May-1861, at age 24. He rose to
sergeant, but was killed at Seven Pines, VA on 31-
May-1862 (source: North

Mary’s brother John was wounded].
At the time of Mary
Covington's death, she was using the Bostick surname, as noted in her obituary:
Bostick, Mrs. Mary Covington, age 79, died
Tuesday in Nashville;
came from NC; buried Rose Hill (from Maury Democrat, dated 13-Jul-1911).

Mother Ref: 10822. Died: 5 Aug 1861 at US Civil War aged
36. Mar: during 1846 at Wayne Co MS to
Duvall, Clarissa 11031. Appears in 1845
Census of Wayne Co MS as
living with one female - newly wed. He enlisted in the Civil War in 1861 and
was died in service later the same year
from diseaese.
He took a twelve month
enlistment May 14, 1861, in Corinth, Mississippi, in a unit called The Wayne
Rifles. The company was commanded by
Captain W.J. Eckford.
Thomas' rank was Private.
The Wayne Rifles were
called into state service and mustered into the Confederate Army as C Company,
13th Mississippi Infantry Regiment, on
June 6, 1861, at Union
City, Tennessee. There they remained attached to the army under General Polk
until ordered to Lynchburg, whither the
regiment started July
14. Immediately upon reaching Lynchburg they were ordered to Manassass, and
reached the railroad junction during the night
of July 20 and the morning of July 21, the day
of the famous battle of the Civil War, called "1st Battle of Bull
Run" or "Manassass".
As soon as possible they
were advanced to the field, with much marching and countermarching in the
intense heat and stifling dust. The orders were
to report to General Longstreet, but for
convenience they were attached to Jubal A. Early's brigade, which was stationed
in the rear of Beauregard's
line on Bull Run, near
McLean's ford. The famous battle of the 21st was brought on by the Federals
attacking on the Confederate flank, behind the
run. The battle raged
from 10 o'clock, and General Early did not get orders to participate in it
until two, when he immediately marched to the scene
of the conflict.
"This
brigade", Beauregard reported, "was marched by the Holtham house
across the fields to the left,... and under a severe fire into a position in
line of battle near
Chinn's house, outflanking the enemy's right. At this time the enemy had formed
a line of truly formidable proportions. The woods
and fields were filled with their masses of
infantry and calvary. It was a magnificent spectacle as they threw forward
their cloud of skirmishers on the
slopes of the ridge for
another attack. But as Early formed his line, Elzey's brigade and other
regiments advanced, almost simultaneously, with great
spirit from their
various positions. At the same time, too, Early resolutely assailed their right
flank and rear." It was then the rout began. The 13th
Mississippi suffered no
dead, and 6 were wounded. The company letter changed to Company B about April
26, 1862, due to a re-organization
where all companies in
the state service were mustered into one regiment, the 18th Mississippi.
On July 4, 1861, Thomas
was listed as "age 32, 5 feet 9 inches tall, fair complexion, red hair,
blue eyes". (Most of the descendants of Thomas
Lorenzo Dow Covington
had dark eyes, dark hair, and high cheekbones, as if they possibly had some
indian blood. Could Clarissa have been part

me just a score of years old. Altho' I feel neither
philosophical, poetical

will succeed I know not. I hope it will prove an
ornament to the
university and an honor to the Students.— Have had some very pensive
reflections of on the dissolution of a friendship which I hope
to cherish. The act tho' a sad one was a duty
which I owed to my honor. I feel erect and independent."

to the Establishment of
"The North Carolina
University Literary Magazine October 3rd 1843.– The Committee appointed at a
late meeting of the Senior Class, to enquire
into the Expediency and5
practicability of establishing a Literary Magazine in this place, to be
conducted by the class—and to submit a plan for the
same—having held a
conference with Gov Swain and Ths Loring Esqr of Raleigh and having maturely
and deliberately considered the subject beg
leave to submit the
following report.–
It is the opinion of
this committee that a periodical, to be called the North Carolina University
Magazine, should be issued monthly—a number on,
or near the first day of
each month—that the immediate supervision of the periodical should be confided
to an Editorial Corps of six: (three from
each Society) which
corps shall be elected at the end of each Junior year, by the class of which,
they may be members, and shall, at the beginning
of the following
session, assume the duties and responsibilities, and be vested with all the
authority which usually belongs to an Editorial
department.
The Committee would
further suggest, that this meeting proceed forthwith to the election of an
Editorial Corps, who shall be empowered to make all
further arrangements, with regard to the
publication of the Periodical.

he received a pension and his wife a widow's benefit. Moved to California from
Calhoun Co MS.
Info that follows was
submitted by Tom Powers a great great grandson of William Dockery.
The following was writen
by William Dockery Covington sometime after he was 80 yars old. This note was
found with this granddaughter Cleo's
things after she died in
the year 2000.: "I was home on
furlough in January 1865 and met my future wife at a party. Miss Mary Louisa
Nunn. She
was born in Ruthsboro
Mississippi October 30, 1847. She consented to be my wife in 1866. She was a
kind, loving wife and an affectionate mother.
An angel on earth who
always saw the bright side of life. She died in Redlands California August 1904
and was buried in Redlands cemetary."
I found the following on
the internet. A letter written in 1903 by W.D. Covington to a friend of his who
still lived in Mississippi.
The Calhoun Monitor,
November 5, 1903
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We present below in its
entirety a letter from Billie D. Covington, of Redlands, California. He was born and raised in Calhoun. When quite young he
shouldered a musket and followed the company
commanded by Capt. E. R. Enochs, through the civil war. He was never known to shirk duty and
was very popular with
his comrades. Soon after the war he
emigrated with his fathers family to Redlands, where he has resided ever
since. Knowing
that his old soldier friends, and many who
were not with him in the war will enjoy reading this letter we give it space. -
Redlands, Cal., Oct. 24,
'03
"Dear old Comrade,
and old boys of Co. "F" where'er you roam:
Your boyish faces are
fresh in memories dreams. We are
brothers and I love you still. Boys, our
ranks grow rapidly thinner as the years roll by and
our battles of life are
almost won, and may the Master say "Well done."
Do you all read the
"Confederate Veteran?" In it I
sometimes find some of our old war songs that we used to sing together. Our company could sing
as well as fight, you know. Now if I try some of those old songs my voice
chokes and my eyes grow dim with tears in sad sweet memories of those
who marched with me.
Say, boys, let the home
stretch be as pure, as true and patriotic as in life's morning when we marched
to music of fife and drum. Oh, time how
fleet.
But yesterday I saw the
camp fires surrounded by the boyish faces, but my white locks and the rugged
path behind me say it has been years.
Mr. James Cook arrived
here on the 2nd, Inst., from his visit to Calhoun, and I wish to say to the
friends who sent me greetings through him, God
bless them. I appreciate them all.
Mr. Cook visited my old
home, west of Pittsboro, and hunting grounds of the long ago. At my request, he went to old Frank's grave;
Co. "F" will
remember the old darky
that followed me through the war. He was
a negro 'tis true but he was possessed of a true and noble nature and I
reverence
his memory. But enough of this.
The Monitor is a regular
visitor and I enjoy the many items. Although I have been away from Calhoun
nearly thirty-seven years, it has a warm place
in my heart. You have a good county and many good people,
from my point of view, though your people should grow a greater variety of
products
That is a good stock
country, as most of the grasses will grow well there. Alfalfa would grow there almost through the
entire winter; could be pastured
and then cut for hay in the spring.
I have often thought of
the many fine streams there that could so easily be utilized for irrigating
pastures and crops. Irrigation is all
the go out here
and lands that can be
irrigated are out of reach in prices.
Some other time I will write more on this subject, also, of our orange
crop and of our little
city, Redlands. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the
world.
P. H. Covington and
family are well. B. P. Davis another old
"Free Stater" here is o.k. He
is an old bachelor still, but says he is going to Calhoun
next year to look him up
a better half.
Now, I should like to
make some inquiries concerning our old boys but fear my letter is already too
long. Will some of them write me? There is
Reuben Countiss, Ben
Landreth, "Old Bragg" {Jack Maxey,} Mose White, John and Irvin
Bryant, Jerry Shepherd, Cap Bagwell, Joe Burns, "Old Doc"
{Henry McGuire,} John
McGarity, Jim Stewart, John Hastings and Bill Barton. I can't name them all here, but the whole
company dwells in my
memory and I would like
to know of them all.
Well, my crippled hand
and the length of this letter admonish me to stop. Meet me beyond the river to "Rest in the
Shade."
W. D. Covington, 9th
Grand St. Redlands, Cal.
The following is
information on the 4th Mississippi Regiment that WD serven in:
"Confederate Mississippi Troops 4th Regiment, Mississippi Infantry"

was organized at Grenada, Mississippi in April, 1861. Many of its members were
recruited in Attala, Grenada, Lafayette, and
Carroll counties. It
moved to Tennessee where a detachment was captured at Fort Henry and the

the unit was assigned to
S.D. Lee's and Baldwin's Brigade, Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana.

Ref: 11555. Died: 22 Oct 1923 at
Beauvoir MS aged 78. Born circa 1845 Black Jack District, Richmond County,
North
Carolina; He is found in
the census of Sep 20, 1850 on page #296-A;
line 28, Black Jack District, Richmond County, North Carolina. He is the
son of
John "Big John" Coulter Covington
(cir. 1808 – bef. 1870) and Margaret Thomas (Oct 9, 1812 – 1856)
He is found in the
census of Jul 24, 1860 on page #361-A; line 39, Rockingham District, Rockingham
Post Office, Richmond County, North Carolina.
He began military
service in May, 1862 mustered into "I" Company of the 2nd North
Carolina Artillery Regiment (36th State Troops), North Carolina.
This unit was stationed at Fort Fisher in New
Hanover County, North Carolina. After the fall of Fort Fisher, the unit was
used as an infantry regiment.
It apparently then took
the designation of the "I" Company, 36th North Carolina Infantry
Regiment. They fought as infantry in the Battle of
Bentonville with the
Army of Tennessee. The unit surrendered along with the Army of Tennessee in
April of 1865.
He is found in the
census of Sep 4, 1870 on page #556-B; line 37, Mineral Springs Township,
Rockingham Post Office, Richmond County, North
Carolina. The census
shows he is a farmer; Benjamin is found living next to his step-grandmother,
Hannah Covington, the second wife of his
grandfather, Benjamin
Coulter Covington. He appears to be farming her land and he has a number of
black farm hands enumerated with him. I
suspect these farm hands
are the ex-slaves that were left to Hannah in her husband Benjamin's Will of
July 3, 1850 and probated in the July 1855
session of the Court.
He between 1871 and 1872
relocated to, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Benjamin, his brothers, Robert
Thomas Covington, and Rev. David A.
Covington and sisters
Susan B. Covington and Sarah J. Covington Mason and her husband Presley Mason
all left Richmond County shortly after the
1870 census was taken
and moved to Lauderdale County, Mississippi. There are all found there in the
1880 census. His sister Frances M. Covington
left Richmond County
sometime after the 1880 census where she is found living with Hannah
Covington, her
step-grandmother, and joined her siblings in Lauderdale County, Mississippi.
He is found in the census
of Jun, 1880 on page # 173-C, Tunnel Hill, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. The
census shows he is a farmer.
He is found in the
census of Apr 21, 1910 on page # 741-A; line 19, on Beach Boulevard,
Mississippi City (now Biloxi), Harrison County, Mississippi.
Benjamin is found living
at Beauvoir, the last home of Confederacy President, Jefferson Davis. After
Jefferson Davis' death the grounds were
converted to an Old
Soldiers Home and Cemetery. During the latter years of his life Benjamin made
money carving walking canes. He donated
$400.00 earned carving
these canes to have a wall built around the Ussery/Covington Cemetery North of
Cartledge Creek Church in Richmond
County, North Carolina.
The wall is still there today and completely encircles the 200’ X 200’
cemetery. I have pictures of this wall in my files.
He is found in the
census of Jan 3, 1920 on page # 128-A; line 26, 2244 Beach Boulevard,
Mississippi City (now Biloxi), Harrison County, Mississippi.
He is still living at Beauvoir.
He died on Oct 22, 1923
at Beauvoir; Jeff Davis Veterans Home, 2244 Beach Boulevard, Biloxi, Harrison
County, Mississippi. He was buried after
Oct 22, 1923 in the
Cemetery at Beauvoir Veterans Home and Cemetery, 2244 Beach Boulevard, Biloxi,
Harrison County, Mississippi. Beauvoir was
the last home of
Confederate President Jefferson Davis. After Davis' death, Beauvoir evolved
into the Jefferson Davis Soldiers Home,
a retirement
home and hospital
facility for disabled and/or indigent Confederate veterans and their
dependents. One requirement for admission was that the
veteran must have been a
resident of
Mississippi for at least
one year. Many of these veterans and their dependents are buried at Beauvoir
Confederate Cemetery, which is located at the
extreme northwest corner
of the estate. The cemetery contains a total of 771 graves, most of them
marked. Records of Beauvoir show Benjamin's
date of death and
confirm that he is buried in the cemetery on the grounds of Beauvoir. Cemetery
at Beauvoir, 2244
Beach Boulevard, Biloxi,
Harrison County, Mississippi.

Probably the most
profilic Covington in terms of fatherhood. He sired 31 Covingtons with his 3
wives.
When John Thomas
Covington was 22, he made a trip north for supplies and as he neared Washington
he was met by his father who during the rest
of the trip brought him
up to date on the town news. Where upon he, John Thomas asked it there were any
new girls in town, his father answered
there were some new
girls, but the prettiest was a little Swedish girl, and his father concluded,
"If you don't marry her I trust I will."
It wasn't long after
that and after a brief courtship he married the sixteen year old Swedish girl,
Johanna Ludblad. They began a happy life together.
From Washington the young couple moved to Cash
County. They returned to Washington but moved again this time to Beaver to be
near
Johanna's mother.
John was a good musician
after composing his own music for his violin, in night the whistling of a bird
kept ringing through his head until he could
not sleep. He arose and
wrote the notes for his violin. This tune proved so popular he called it the
"Ladies Favorite". He and his brother-in-law,
Winslow Farr, wrote a
song called "The Big Cottonwood Waters." Where ever he lived John and
his violin were called into service. It was an unusual
sight to see him playing
his violin as he danced the square dances, with his partner clinging to his
coat tail. Often he walked miles to play for a
dance, after the dance
was over he walked home. He was full of fun and took great pleasure in teaching
his children to play and sing. He had an
orchestra in his family.
He with family and friend liked to gather around the organ and sing.
While living in
Adamsville, John took as his plural wife Elizabeth Adams. She was a daughter of
David Barclay Adams and Lydia Catherine Mann.
They were married in the
Old Endowment House in Salt Lake City, Utah and at the same time his first wife
Johanna was sealed to him. To the
marriage John Thomas and
Elizabeth Adams were born 13 children our heritage is brought through Junius
Gilbert Covington their 12th child.
The family wasn't
satisfied in Adamsville but was undecided where to go. Elizabeth was anxious to
move to Wayne County where her people had
gone. But Johanna said
she thought it would be better to move where they have more relatives. So it was
decided to go to Orderville, they left
Beaver April 15, 1877
and they joined the United Order. John and his wives were good workers. He
worked in the gardens and fields but most of his
time was spent in
herding sheep.
The Indians were bad at
this time. He exercised great influence over them. He with other were often
called on to make peace with the Indians. The
united order owned a
great deal of the Buckskin Mountains. They had a big dairy there also used it
for range for their sheep. The Indians resented
this and claimed the
land for their own. They were very ugly and the white people were in constant
danger from them.
Brother Covington was
herding sheep on Buckskin Mt. when the dog, "Queen", as prized
imported dog, which the order had traded a cow for, was
shot while on duty with
the sheep. Reports reached John that "George" an Indian with a mean
temper was making threats against him. One day,
while out with the sheep
he crossed a deep wash, when he reached the opposite bank he came face to face
with "George". John was unarmed but
putting on a bold front
said, "I hear you were going to kill me, now is your chance." George
impressed by his bravery would not shoot and later
proved to be a friend.
About the time the
united order was broken up John married his third wife Lydia May Carling a
daughter of Isic Van Wagoner Carling and Mariam
Hobson. She was born
March 1, 1866. There were seven children born to this union.
When the united order
was discontinued Brother Covington, Jonathan Heaton and George W. Adair rented
the order sheep. During the summer the
sheep were herded in the
mountain during the winter they were herded "out in the sand".
When Brother Covington
drew out from his partnership, he bought a dairy ranch that had belonged to the
order. The ranch was located at the mouth
of Dairy and Main Canyon's.
Two of John's families
lived on the ranch in the summer milking cows, making cheese and butter. Late
in the fall they moved into town for winter.
Brother Covington raised
wonderful gardens in the ranch. His was a generous nature he would give sacks
of vegetables to anyone who called. Often
he would start for
Orderville with a load of vegetables for his families. But everyone he met he
stopped to talk to them, but by the time he arrived
home the wagon would be
almost empty. His home though humble was always open to everyone.
At the time of the raid
on the polygamists he and his son-in-law, Thomas Chamberlin were arrested and
sent to the penitentiary for having more
than one wife. He served
six months in the "pen". With his violin for company. One morning he
wasn't feeling very well and didn't get up at the
regular time. He was
still in bed when the doors were unlocked for breakfast. When he tried to open
his door it was locked again. The other prisoners
said, "Now you
won't get out" John took his violin and played "The Methodists
Prayer" he fairly made the violin talk. When the guard came along he
found he corridor crowded with prisoners
listening to the music. The guard swore and said, "Covington, if you stop
that violin I'll let you out." So, he
got his breakfast with
the rest.
In 1902 John, Elizabeth,
Lydia and families moved to Torrey, Wayne County, Utah. There he lived until
1908 when at age of 68 he died after
playing the violin most
of the night. This violin was passed to his son, who's children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren have fingered and
played the heirloom. An
heirloom with a legacy that was given us roots, strong roots that have shaped
our lives and our children's lives. Without
these ancestors' vision
and dedication we could not nor would we have done the things that have been
meaningful in our lives. What greater wish

Biographical Sketh by
Great Granddaughter Wilma Susan Harris Smith:
Emily Jane Covington, a
New Year's child, was born January 1, 1843 in Summerville, Noxubee Country,
Mississippi. She was the Great Great Great
Granddaughter of William
Covington. William Covington and his younger brothers, John and Thomas
Covington, came from England to Maryland
with Lord Baltimore in
1632. The brothers had received land grants in Maryland and Virginia from the
King of England. William and Thomas
moved on and settled in
North Carolina. Emily Jane's father, Robert Dockery Covington, was born August
20, 1815 in Rockingham, Richmond
country, North Carolina.
He attended school in Rockingham where he obtained a college education. Emily
Jane's mother, Elizabeth Thomas, was
born April 29, 1820 in
Marlborough County, South Carolina.
Robert D. Covington and
Elizabeth Ann Thomas married in about 1838 or 1839. Soon after their marriage
they moved with Robert's father, Thomas
B. Covington, to
Summerville, Noxubee County, Mississippi.
With the help of slave
labor, the Covingtons established a large successful plantation in Summerville.
Here three children were born to Robert and
Elizabeth Ann. John
Thomas, August 7, 1840; Emily Jane, January 1, 1843; and Sarah Ann, February 2,
1845. Sarah Ann died the same year in
1845.
During this time period
many of the Thomas family, relatives of Elizabeth Ann Thomas, had also moved to
Summerville, Noxubee County,
Mississippi. Some of the
Covington and Thomas families attended Gospel meetings which were presented by
Mormon missionaries. Robert D.
Covington and Elizabeth
Ann Covington were baptized February 3, 1843. Robert D. Covington's father,
brothers and sisters disapproved of their new
religion. Robert D.
Covington was eventually disinherited.
In 1845, Robert D. and
Elizabeth Ann Covington left Mississippi and joined the Saints in Nauvoo,
Illinois. After just two years in Nauvoo, the
Covington family joined
the great Mormon Westward migration. Travelling by wagon train they headed
toward the great Salt Lake Valley. They
travelled in Edward
Hunter's Company under the leadership of Captain Daniel Thomas. Emily Jane was
4 years old. The wagon train endured rain,
hail storms, dust storms,
lack of good water and wood to burn.
Indians often followed
the group and sometimes approached their camp to beg or trade for food. On one
occasion the travelers had stopped to
repair wagons near a
growth of wild currant bushes. Emily Jane and her older brother John were given
an empty lard bucket and sent to pick the ripe
currants. When their container was about full,
several Indians reared up from hiding with a loud war whoop. The frightened
children dropped the
bucket and ran for camp.
When they looked back the Indians had retrieved the currants and were laughing
at their big joke. The Indians, on several
occasions, stampeded
their cattle. However, the Mormon leaders tried to maintain a friendly
relationships as no one wanted a hostile confrontation
with the Indian
followers.
Somewhere near what is
now known as Scotts Bluff, Nebraska, Elizabeth Ann gave birth to her last
child, Robert Laborious on August 1, 1847. After
traversing the last of
the cold, slow and rough miles through the mountains, the Hunter Company
arrived in Salt Lake Valley on September 27,
1847. Elizabeth was
frail and weakened from the hardships of the journey. She fell ill of a severe
respiratory infection and died December 7, 1847.
Robert moved his family
to the cottonwood settlement located just south of Salt Lake City. He became
the school teacher and was called Professor
Covington by the
community. He accumulated land and livestock and married twice more. His second
wife was Melinda Allison Kelly. His third wife
was Nancy Roberts. In
April of 1857 Robert D. and a number of other men from the Southern States were
called by President Brigham Young to
travel to Southern Utah
to establish a new settlement on the Virgin River. At the age of 14, Emily Jane
Covington was one of the 160 men, women
and children who were
called to move 330 miles to Southern Utah to establish a new Mormon settlement.
The phrase "I was
Called to Dixie" became the by-word of the hardy pioneers who journeyed
and stayed to establish the communities of Washington
and St. George in Southern Utah. Like the true
Dixie of the Southern United States, they planted cotton, sugar cane, tobacco
and later alfalfa,
vineyards and peach
trees.
Winslow Farr, Jr.,
resided with his father and mother, Winslow Farr, Sr. and Olive Hovey Farr on
their farm in the cottonwood settlement. Winslow, Jr.
describes his journey to
Cotton country:
September 27, 1858: I
started with a horse team for the Cotton Country the distance of 330 miles.
After describing his 11
day journey, he continued in his diary:
October 8, 1858: I
arrived at my place of destination down in cotton country on the 8th of October
in good health. My animals stood the trip first
rate.
On the 17th of October
1858 at eleven o'clock a.m., I was married to Emily Jane Covington the daughter
of Robert D. & Elizabeth Covington
Washington City
Washington County Utah. I help to make molasses while was there from sugar cane
(Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr. 1856-1899, Page 42).
At the time of their
marriage Winslow Farr Jr., was 21 and Emily Jane Covington was 15. Ten days
later the newlyweds began their journey back to
Winslow's parents home
in the Cottonwood settlement.
October 27, 1858: I with
my wife started for G.S. Lake the distance of 330 miles arrived there on the
10th of November in good health I am living
with my father the
following season I farmed my fathers place for one third of the crop he helping
what he as able and boarded (sic) us till harvest
wheat crops did not do
very well this year. I raised for my share 105 bushels of wheat 30 bushels of
corn 20 bushels of potatoes and I do not know as
this will ever be any
(good?) to any one but to my mind I do write as these things present. (Diary of
Winslow Farr, Jr. 1856-1899, Page 45).
On November 9th of 1859
Winslow and his wife started by team and wagon for Southern Utah to await the
birth of their first child.
Washington County
February 3, 1860 : "at 2 o'clock p.m. our first child was born Winslow
Robert. (Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr. 1856-1899, Page 45).
Winslow Farr, Jr. helped
his father-in-law, Robert D. Covington, quarry sandstone and build a stone
wall. In addition, Winslow drove cattle to
mountain pastures,
hauled seed cotton to the gin, helped bail cotton and plant trees. He also
worked for others in exchange for cotton and molasses.
On April 24, 1860, their wagons loaded with
100 bales of cotton and 42 gallons of molasses, the young couple headed out for
the return journey to
the Salt Lake Valley.
Winslow's brother, Lorin
Farr, the Mayor of Ogden and the Church President for Weber County, recruited
and called the young couple to help
establish a new Mormon
settlement in Northern Utah. By January of 1861 Winslow and Emily Jane moved to
a community known as Mendon, Cache
Valley, Utah. They lived in Mendon for a
season and then sold the small farm and moved on to Paradise, Cache Valley,
Utah.
Emily Jane's first home
in Paradise was a single room "dugout" in the side of a hill. A
fireplace, located at one end held an iron kettle for cooking in
addition to providing
heat for the one large room. Their children, Emily Olive Farr, LaFayette Thomas
Farr and Lorin Freeman Farr were born in this
"dugout" home. Winters were severe,
often with four to five feet of snow. Emily Jane told her grandchildren of
times when young people, would
sleigh ride right over
the top of their dugout.
During the time when
Emily Jane and Winslow lived in Paradise, Winslow Farr, Jr. was selected as
Captain in the Minutemen Militia. The Militia,
organized into groups of
men to work in the fields, and to provide protection from Indians who would
often raid the settlement for cattle and horses.
As was the custom, the
pioneers often took time out from their work for entertainment. The Mormon
families, traveling by wagons or bobsleds, would
gather from miles
around. They made beds for the younger children and would dance until the wee
hours of the morning. Winslow, who had a
saying "I am not a
musician, I just love to fiddle around" was always called upon to play his
violin for these social occasions. After breakfast they
harnessed their teams
and headed their wagons toward home.
In March of 1882, the
U.S. Congress passed the Edmunds-Tucker Act which outlawed the practice of
polygamy. By 1884, government agents were
gathering evidence and
issuing warrants for the arrest of many of the Mormon polygamists.
In October of 1885,
while Winslow was at work at the ZCMI Co-op in Ogden, the underground sent word
that the U.S. Marshals were on their way to
place him under arrest.
He made his escape by being nailed inside a wooden box which was taken away by
team and wagon. Winslow was taken to
the home of Simon
Halverson in the Marriott settlement. Winslow fled with his third wife, Matilda
Halverson Farr, and their children to San Juan
County in Southern Utah.
Later they moved to an area near Cortez, Colorado. After two years of
self-imposed exile, Winslow returned to Utah in
November of 1887 to give
himself up to the Federal authorities.
FROM WINSLOW FARR JR.'S
DIARY:
November 1887 : "We
arrived in Ogden all safe in November after having quite a pleasant trip. but
some cold weather some 500 hundred miles of
travel Br J. T. Johnson
and family accompanied us on our journey. Found the rest of my family all well
at Ogden I did not come out in public but
kept quiet as I wanted
to arrange my business to stand my trial in court as there was an inditment
(sic) against me I then with my attorneys went up to
court and gave myself up to the marshalls they
then wanted bonds Br Barnard White William H Wright were my Bondsman I was then
released to go
where I pleased I then went to work for the
co-op till my trial came on which was May 1888 I was then sentenced to 6 months
imprisonment and
$300 fine and cost of
Court by Judge Henderson for keeping my Covenants with my wifes (sic) for
unlawful cohabitations I had the privlege (sic) to
obey the law and be
released but I prefered (sic) Prison walls rather then to abandon my wifes
(sic) that god had given me or to go back on my
children and religion In
the evening myself and Br Lorenzo Waldron were taken by a deputy marshal to the
Utah Territorial Penetentiary for the term
of 6 months" (Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr.
1856-1899, Page 72)".
Winslow stood trial in
the First District Court on May 27, 1888, Docket No. 815. Emily Jane and
Melvina were subpoenaed to testify. Emily Jane was
called as the States
first witness. She claimed the privilege of exemption from testifying, as she
was the legal wife; therefore, she was excused.
Winslow was convicted of
unlawful cohabitation and was sentenced to six months in the Utah Territorial
Penitentiary with a fine of $300.00.
When Winslow was
released from prison, November 24, 1888, the Ogden Third Ward, where he was a
bishop, gave him a grand reception and
welcome home party.
Winslow with his wives,
Melvina and Matilda, and their children left Ogden in August of 1890. They
joined other Mormon families on their journey
to establish farms in
Mexico. The families arrived in September at Colonia Diaz, a Mormon settlement
which had been established in 1885. The
Farr's and all of the
new arrivals spent the winter living in tents.
January 1891: "We
all moved up to Colonia Dublan and laid out a new town bought some land of the
Mexicans and got ready to farm and put in a
small crop."
Colonia Dublan is
located about 150 miles south of Deming New Mexico and 170 miles from El Paso,
Texas. To make the trip to Dublan, from
Deming, and return by
team and wagon required at least 8 days of hard tedious travel.
A railroad was not built
until 1897 and then it was still 12 miles beyond Dublan. The railroad
eventually extended through Dublan and became a
great benefit for travel
and marketing the colony's farm products.
Winslow returned to
Ogden in the fall of 1892 with his wife Matilda and her children. Melvina with
her children remained in Colonia Dublan. Upon
arriving in Ogden
Winslow rented a home for his wife Matilda and enrolled their children in
school. Dividing his time between Emily Jane's farm in
West Weber and Matilda's
home in Ogden, Winslow spent the following spring and summer in Utah. Emily
Jane was a charter member of the West
Weber Relief Society
which was created February 17, 1893. By 1895, the relief society had raised the
funds and built a granary for the storage of
wheat for the Bishop's
storehouse. The grain was used as seed crops for the farmers in time of crop
failure and was also used for donations to the
needy in times of
disaster.
On October 28, 1893
Winslow with his wife Matilda and their children, joined four other families in
seven wagons, with 500 head of "loose stock",
and headed for the long
journey to Dublan Mexico. Subsequent return trips to Odgen, to visit his family
in West Weber, were easier and affordable,
when his brother Lorin
Farr provided a railroad pass.
January 1, 1897 :
"My wife Emily's birthday is today. She is fifty-four years old."
In April of 1897 Sariah
Farr, wife of Emily and Winslow's son, Lorin Farr, became suddenly ill. The
doctors diagnosed her condition as "brain fever".
April 12, 1897:
"Raked all the brush from under the trees administered to my son's wife
Sariah who is very sick and stayed a short time by her
bedside".
April 13,14,15,16
"waited on the sick did not have my clothes of(f) for 3 days and nights.
My son Lorin sent for Doctor Rich He pronounced it brain
fever".
April 19, 1897 :
"My daughter-in-law is about the same, not much change. We all gathered
around the bedside and prayed for her. She seemed a
little better."
April 20, 1897 :
"Quite stormy and windy. My daughter-in-law not so well, delirious and out
of her mind. Sent for Dr. Rich and he brought another
man with him to consult.
I sat up with her tonight."
April 21, 1897 :
"Sariah no better. Fever not quite so high. I sat up with her. The day is
stormy and cold."
April 22, 1897 :
"My son's wife Sariah died at 5:00 a.m. with brain fever after an illness
of two weeks. She leaves a husband and four small children.
She was born June 1,
1870 in West Weber, Utah. We went over to Ogden and got a coffin and material
to dress her. We returned at 2:00 p.m." (Diary
Winslow Farr, Jr. 1897, Page 187).
When Sariah Farr died on
April 22, 1897 at the age of 27, she left four small children, Charles Buck,
age 8, Emily Evelyn, age 7, Lorin Winslow, age
3 and Nephi Horace, age 2.
Emily Jane's own
children were now adults. Starting over with a new family, Emily Jane took her
four grandchildren into her home. These
grandchildren lived with
Emily Jane and their father Lorin until they were grown.
Emily Evelyn Farr Mower,
age 90 in 1980, was asked in an interview to describe her grandmother, Emily
Jane. She stated, "Oh she was gentle, kind,
a wonderful mother. She would sometimes scold
us, but she never ever laid a hand on us. She would say to people, I never whip
any of these
children. I'd hate to
meet their mother, up there, and have her say, you spanked my children, you
didn't take good care of my children."
In 1897 Winslow was
called by the First Presidency of the Church to move permanently to Mexico.
December 20, 1897 :
"received a letter from the first Presidency for me to Locate permanently
in Mexico quite a Disappointment to some of the
family but the Lords
will be done" (Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr. 1897, Page 206)".
Before he left for
Mexico he deeded his interest in the homestead to Emily Jane. In 1899, Emily
Jane divided the farm into parcels and deeded the
property to her four
sons, Lafayette, Lorin, Barnard and Aldebert.
On January 10, 1899
Winslow married his fourth wife, Sarah Mitchell Graham in Colonia Dublan,
Mexico. In December of 1902, Winslow, his wife
Melvina and their two
youngest sons, Wilford and Ashael, traveled by train to visit the families in
Ogden arriving on December 6, and spent the night
with his daughter Emily Halverson and family.
December 7, 1902
"Visited my Tilly and children Had dinner with them visited my brother
Aaron and Lorins families staid all night at Emilys."
December 8, 1902
"Got a horse and buggy and took my wife Melvina and two little boys over
to West Weber to the rest of the family found all well
and glad to see us wrote
some letters to my folks in Mexico in the eve My children Laffy and family came
and had supper with us and spent the
evening with us We had a
very enjoyable time."
Melvina and her sons
stayed often with Emily Jane and her family in West Weber during the time she
was in Utah. Emily Jane lived on the farm in
West Weber, Matilda
lived in her home in Ogden and Sarah lived in her home in Salt Lake City as
well as Dublan, Mexico.
Sarah, known as Dr.
Sarah Farr, was often called upon as a lay midwife. Sarah gave lectures about
the human anatomy and using her own formula,
bottled and sold a
product known as Dr. Farr's Canker medicine. Evelyn Farr Mower (Granddaughter
of Emily Jane) reminisced in a 1980 interview,
"Grandfather gave
grandma Emily some of aunt Sarah's medicine and it was really gooooood
tooo!"
In the spring of 1903
Winslow Jr. records in his diaries, time spent with each of his four wives.
Winlsow spent more time with Sarah in Salt Lake City.
After returning to
Ogden, from an extended stay with Sarah, he records in his diary:
March 20, 1903
"Took horse and buggy and took my wife Melvina and two little boys to
Ogden had dinner with my daughter Emily took my wife and
boys up to Hyrum and Gooddall Her cousin on
her way to Ogden valley to visit her sister Marintha called and see my wife
Tilly and talked with her
She said that she
desired not live with me as wife but did not get a d(i)vorce I tried to reason
with her but it was no use Bp (bishop) counselor P
Anderson talked with her
but all to no purpose She had made up her mind to separate (sic) It seems hard
to pull away after rasing (sic) a family
together of six children
it was against my wishes (to) separate she said I could come and see the
children whenever I wanted so we quit on speaking
terms I then returned to
West Weber."
On April 9, 1903 Winslow
attended a Farr family reunion at the Ogden 3rd Ward.
April 9, 1903 "Took
train for Ogden met my son Barney and came over to west Weber to my home and
got ready with my folks and went over to
Ogden and attended the
Farr reunion that was held in 3rd ward meeting house and asemby (sic) hall.
Arrived about 6 to late for the opening
program just in time for
supper table were spread and supper was ready a large company sat down to
supper I was called on to ask a blessing on the
food after supper went
over to the hall where there was songs and music and speaches (sic) I played 3
tunes on the violin made a short speach (sic)
there was present 260 of
the farr descendant and 15 of my own family were present we had a very
enjoyable time long to be rememberd (sic)
dismissed about 12 pm
and I returned to west Weber with my family".
On April 24, 1903
Winslow, Emily Jane, Barnard and Susan Farr, traveled by horse and buggy to
Ogden to say goodbye to Melvina as she and her
two youngest sons
boarded the train for the return trip to Mexico.
In November of 1903
Melvina was hospitalized in El Paso, Texas for an attack of appendicitis. An
operation came too late and she passed away on
November 6, 1903. She
was buried in Colonia Dublan, Mexico.
November 7, 1903 :
"Came to Ogden & heard the sad death of my wife Melvina she was at the
Hospital at El Paso Texas where she underwent an
operation for
apendisitis (sic) & died with blood poison she leaves a loving husband and
11 children to mourn her loss she was a noble woman she
was burried (sic) in
Dublan Mexico Myself and son Joseph and wife and two little children took train
for Mexico the folks at the farm came to see us
off all feeling very
sad."
His wife Sarah,
accompanied by Winslow's brother Lorin, joined them in Dublan in December 1903.
Winslow remained in Mexico until July of 1906.
In June, a family
gathering, including 11 of Melvina's children and 18 of their grandchildren,
held a farewell supper for him in the old family home
before his final return
trip to Utah, Saturday June 30, 1906.
July 2, 1906 :
"Never sleep on the train. Sleeping berth is too short. Came from
Sacramento to Ogden. Landed at West Weber at 9:00 p.m. in the
evening. Walked up to
the home and was very tired. Found all well" (Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr.
1906, Page not numbered".
With the exception of
occasional brief visits to the West Weber farm, Winslow lived most of the time
between 1906 and 1913 with his fourth wife,
Sarah, in Salt Lake
City. Winslow, Sarah and his brother Lorin spent many hours working in the Salt
Lake Temple.
December 25, 1907
Wednesday : "Christmas. Eat dinner at my wife Sarah my wife Emily was with
us had a roasted duck received a Christmas gift
and some letters from my
children in Mexico."
December 26, 1907
Thursday : "My wife Emily went home to West Weber Sarah went to the train
roads very muddy" (Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr. 1907,
Page not numbered).
July 21, 1908 : "My
wife Emily and I went over to Ogden and joined the Old folks excursion to
Lagoon had a nice time a splendid dinner and supper
I drew a suit of clothes as father of 31
children." (Diary of Winslow Farr, Jr. 1908, Page not numbered).
On February 2, 1913,
Winslow suffered a stroke. Winslow and Emily Jane's four sons were called to
move him from Salt Lake City to Emily Jane's
home in West Weber (now
known as Taylor, Utah). Their sons took turns attending and staying up through
the night with their father. Winslow died
February 18, 1913. He
was buried in the Ogden cemetery in Weber County, Utah. After his death Emily
Jane and her son Lorin, a widower,
continued to live in the
old family home. Her son Aldebert, whom everyone called Uncle Dell, moved to
Idaho. Her daughter, Olive Emily Farr, had
married Samuel Halverson
and they made their home in Ogden, Utah. Barnard and Susan Alvord Farr built a
home north of the old adobe home on
the portion of the homestead which Emily Jane
had deeded to "Barney" in 1899. Her son Lafayette and his wife, Nancy
Hipwell Farr, built their
home on the west section
of the old homestead.
Jason Farr, great great
grandson of Emily Jane and Winslow, currently farms his great grandfathers'
(Lafayette Farr) portion of the original
homestead. Emily Jane
died March 4, 1921 at the home of Barnard and Susan Farr. She was buried beside
Winslow in the Ogden City cemetery,
Weber County, Utah.
Emily Jane gave birth to
14 children, including one set of twins. Only five of the children survived to
adulthood. All of the infant children are buried
with their parents,
Winslow and Emily Jane, in the Ogden City cemetery. The only graves, in the
Winlsow Farr family plot, which are identified with
tombstones are Winslow,
Emily Jane, their oldest infant son Winslow Robert and Matilda (third wife).
Emily Jane's
grandchildren remember her as a vivid, colorful story teller. She would gather
the children around her as she sat in her rocking chair,
telling them interesting
stories of her early days in Dixie (Southern Utah). Tales of struggles she and
Winslow had in trying to cultivate a dry farm in
Cache Valley, including
the early days of marriage when they went on sleigh rides to church socials and
dances, stories of Winslow playing his violin
for many occasions, wild bear and Indian
stories were but a few of the exciting tales the children loved to hear. She
often told accounts of the
Shoshone Indians who
raided their settlement in Cache Valley for cattle and horses.
She also told stories of
the Ute Indians who camped near her home in Ogden. Every summer while on their
way to their traditional fishing grounds,
near Tremonton, Utah, a
band of Utes would stop to camp near her homestead in West Weber. She would
give them produce, from her garden, and
fruit from her orchard.
Water and pasture were always available for their animals.
Dee Farr, a great
grandson, has the pistol which belonged to Emily Jane. The gun is a 38 caliber
Smith & Wesson five shot, with a rotary barrel. The
revolver is engraved with the date February 2,
1886. Emily Jane is purported to have always slept with her 38 under her
pillow. Her Grandsons, Ken
and Glen Farr, describe
Emily as a "crack shot", who could shoot a squirrel out of a tree at
20 paces. All of her grandchildren recall how she loved to
read. She would sit by
the window, in her rocking chair, with a large stack of magazines and
newspapers by her side. The grandchildren recall Emily
Jane always wore a clean
white apron with two large pockets. They knew, hidden deep in one of those
pockets, was her small box of snuff. They
remember her delicious
homemade bread, her colorful Indian stories, her soft chuckling laughter and
her stoic quiet dignity.
Emily Jane was a
faithful pioneer woman. Her quiet nature, courage, endurance and dedication to
family will always be remembered as endearing
qualities by her
descendants.

EMILY JANE COVINGTON
FARR - REFLECTIONS OF HER GRANDCHILDREN
Mabel Farr Harris Decker
Grandma always had the
midday meal promptly at 12:00 noon every day. She always rang a lunch bell and
expected everyone to be washed and
ready to sit down to
eat. This ritual was probably a carry over tradition from her father's southern
plantation schedule.
When I was a young girl,
mama gave me an empty lard bucket and sent me to Uncle Laf's (Lafayette) and
Aunt Nanc's (Nancy) home to borrow some
wheat. Their home was just a little ways west
and a little south of grandma's house which was just south of our house.
Returning home with the
wheat, by way of
Grandma's yard, I heard a buggy coming down the road. In order to get a view of
who was coming I turned and started walking
backwards. The well
outlet pipe caught me in the knee and the wheat went flying in all directions.
I tumbled backward into the wash tub which
grandma had placed under
the water outlet. I don't know who was more surprised, me or the ducks who had
been swimming in the small pond next
to the metal tub. My
backside was thoroughly drenched and as I scrambled to regain my feet, my shoes
and stockings slowly filled with water. With
wings flapping and
quacking with excitement, the ducks quickly devoured their unexpected gourmet
feast. Embarrassed and soggy, I hurried home to
explain what had happened. Papa laughed
heartily at my predicament. Mama was not amused and gave me a stern lecture
about being so
careless.
My cousin Evelyn and her
husband, Jeff Mower, lived across the street from grandma's and just down and
across the way from our house. My sister
Lavon and I loved to
hold and play with their infant daughter Ruth. Ruth was a happy baby who
laughed often at our play antics. I was fourteen
when Ruth took sick and
died unexpectedly. As the family gathered at the Mower home, everyone,
including myself, seemed to be crying. I noticed
grandma seated in a
chair, dry eyed and gazing out of a window. I approached grandma and asked,
"Aren't you sad that little Ruth died?" She
replied, "Of course
I am dear". I asked grandma, "why aren't you crying like everyone
else?" She looked up at me and sighed, "Oh my dear, I cried
all of my tears years
ago".
When Grandpa Winslow had
his stroke he was living with Aunt Sarah in Salt Lake City. Papa and his
brothers moved him back to grandma's home in
Taylor. With the assistance of some brethren
from the ward they all took turns in sitting through the night to care for
grandpa. Grandma slept at our
home. The first week he
was in a coma. The last week he would partially wake for a few minutes at a
time. As was the routine, mama and grandma
went by early in the
morning to see how grandpa was doing. One morning as grandma walked in the door
grandpa cried out, "Well hello Melvina,
when did you get
here?" Grandma looked startled for a moment, but then replied, "Oh,
just a little while ago". She sat beside grandpa and never
explained that she was
really Emily Jane. In later years when we visited grandma's home, she and Uncle
Lorin would be sitting in their chairs, each
by a different window
and reading from a stack of old newspapers or magazines. A year before grandma
died, I acquired a brand new Kodak
camera, and she posed
for me standing outside her home in Taylor. I believe the year was about 1920.
I am built just like grandma. We look just like
a plump sack of potatoes tied in the middle.
Kenneth Alvord Farr
When I was about three
or four, Lavon and Mabel enjoyed dressing me up in little girls clothes to
pretend that I was their big baby doll. I did enjoy
the attention, until the
day they decided to dress me up and walk me over to grandma's house. They put a
frilly white dress on me and twisted my
curls into ringlets and
put a big bow in my hair. I can still hear the sound of grandma's chuckling
laughter as we walked into her front door.
Embarrassed I started to
bawl my head off. Grandma picked me up and sat me on her knees. I quieted right
down as she preceded to tell me a story
about a big bear.
Some years later I
noticed grandma's habit of reaching into her apron pocket, sniffing and wiping
her nose. I asked mama, "Why does grandma
always do that?"
Mama replied, "Grandma has a little tin box in her apron pocket and every
now and then she dips a little snuff".
Papa enjoyed presenting
and directing, and often playing a lead roll in community or church
plays. Papa had a
collection of items which he often used as stage props. The most intriguing was
a pistol which he informed me had belonged to
grandma. I can still
recall the murmur of excitement in the audience when blanks fired on the stage
echoed through the meeting hall.
"Grandma",
papa said, "slept every night with the gun under her pillow. She suggested
the weapon was for protection from Renegade Indians and
from Federal Marshals
who might try to sneak into the house in the middle of the night. Papa insisted
grandma was a crack shot, who could shoot a
squirrel out of a tree
from twenty paces. The firing pin was missing when I gave the gun to my
youngest son, Dee Farr. Dee had the gun completely
restored. I gave Winslow
and Emily Jane's family bible to my son Keith Farr.
Evelyn Farr Mower
Every other day grandma
always carried the same large round pan to the cellar to get just the right
amount of flour to bake six loaves of bread. On
her baking days we
always enjoyed the treat of warm bread with plum jam. One of my chores was to
feed the chickens, ducks, geese and to gather
the eggs. When I entered
the barn yard I had to watch out for the old gander who was mean and
territorial. Many times, with neck extended and
wings flapping, he
chased me as I scurried up the haystack to escape his stinging bite. Sometimes
the old goose would circle and keep me a
prisoner atop my perch.
Eventually, content with himself, he would wander away while I made my escape
down the other side.
One of my other daily
chores was walking to the lower pasture to bring the cows home for milking. I
remember wearing four buckle galoshes, in the
spring and fall, as the
pasture was always very wet and swampy. If it was storming, grandma often sent
one of the boys to bring the cows home. We
all took turns bringing
in kindling and firewood for the stove to heat the house. I never had to milk
the cows, thank goodness, as this was always
considered the boys'
chore. We kept some milk for our daily use, and we skimmed cream for weekly
butter churning. Our extra milk was sold to the
dairy. This provided us
with a small cash return.
I went to school only
four days a week. I stayed home every Monday to help grandma do the washing and
ironing. We heated the water, for wash
day on a coal stove
which stood in a shed behind the house. The clothes were scrubbed and rinsed by
hand on washboards which stood in large
galvanized tubs. The
clothes were hung on outside lines to dry. Flat irons, heated on the kitchen
stove, were used to iron the clothes. It took both of
us most the day to
finish this chore.
Grandma taught me the
basics of sewing on her old foot treadle sewing machine. We cut our patterns
out of old newspapers. We cut open and
bleached our flour sacs,
which we used to make dish towels, tablecloths, napkins, nightgowns, and
underwear. When we could afford it we bought
cloth to make our dresses,
skirts and blouses. One of my favorite pastimes was making doll clothes from
scraps of material. By the time I was fourteen
I was making all of my
own clothes.
When we were teenagers
the church started mutual meetings for the youth. Whenever the weather
permitted, grandma always encouraged us to
attend those meetings,
which were held on Sunday evenings.
When I was a young girl
grandpa and Aunt Melvina, who lived with her family in Mexico, came on the
train with her two youngest sons to visit
grandma and her family.
My brothers slept in the upstairs north bedroom, which was the larger room. I
had the south upstairs bedroom to myself.
Aunt Melvina slept in my
bed and I slept on a pallet bed on the floor. Grandpa stayed downstairs with grandma
in the big front room.
In the summer and fall
we kept very busy canning and drying fruits and vegetables. I would often climb
onto of the buggy shed roof to spread sheets
out where we dried corn,
apples, and apricots. I still remember the taste of one of my favorite
desserts, which was a dish of white currants with a little
cream poured over the
top.
My oldest brother
Charles raised pigeons and we all looked forward to the days when grandma made
a big pan of pigeon pie. She used the pigeon
breast, vegetables, and
a biscuit dough on top, and Oh, it was so good.
When Uncle Barney and
Aunt Susie were married, they lived in grandma's big front room while their
home was being built next door. Grandma
shared the upstairs
bedroom with me. Barney worked at the sugar factory to earn money to build his
home on the twenty acres, which grandma had
deeded to him. The house
was substantial and well built. The home is in good condition and it is still
occupied today.
When grandma took sick,
Barney and Susie took her into their home and cared for her until she died in
1921. When Ken (Barney and Susie's
youngest son) and LaRene
were married they moved into Uncle Barney and Susie's old home. The year they
married Ken was driving past our place
with a team and wagon. I spotted grandma's old
rocking chair and side table atop the load. Jess hailed Ken who explained that
LaRene had
cleaned a lot of old
junk out of the house and he was on his way to the dump. With Ken's permission,
Jess rescued grandma's chair and small folding
table. Jess sanded and painted this furniture
which we placed in our living room. After Jess died, I gave grandma's furniture
to my daughter, Fern
(Kaye). My father Lorin
lived in grandma's old home until his death in 1946. Jess and I sold the
property to Johnny Favero. As you can see, Johnny
built a lovely house in
the exact place were grandma's home once stood.
Glen Farr
Grandma gathered my
brothers, sisters and cousins around her rocking chair, and as we sat on the
floor she told us Indian and bear stories. She told
us tales of the day she
lived as a young woman in Southern Utah and of the time she and Winslow worked
hard to establish a dry farm in Cache
Valley, Utah. She was a
good story teller. She told us of the years they lived in their home in Ogden.
Each summer a band of Indians would set up
their tents in the Farr
family backyard. They came to trade their hand made goods for sugar, salt, and
other staples. The children became especially
fond of an Indian woman
they all called Aunt Mary. On one occasion grandma allowed Aunt Mary to carry
my infant father, Lafayette Farr, on her
back when the Indian
clan traveled on a one day trip to the Ogden hot springs.
When Grandma divided her
farm in 1899 she deeded twenty acres of her homestead to my father Lafayette.
She deeded twenty acres to each of her
four living sons. When Uncle Dell
"Aldebert" moved to Idaho, Inez and I bought his twenty acres. I have
a chair that grandpa Winslow purportedly
made while incarcerated
in the Utah State Penitentiary for polygamy George Q. Cannon appears to be
sitting in the chair shown in a photo of the
prisoners in the
penitentiary. My father gave me a cane which belonged to grandpa. The style
colors and design of this particular cane lead me to
believe it is was of
Mexican origin and not one of the ten canes he made while he was in the
Penitentiary.
Dee Farr, a great
grandson, furnished a photograph of Emily Jane's gun. It is a 38 Smith &
Wesson 5 shot revolver with a rotary barrel. The revolver
is engraved with the
date February 2, 1886.
