Tell me all about you

My thanks are due to the following persons, without whose help much of my work would not have been possible. They have also proven to be a great motivation at times when the sheer scale of such a project became daunting.

 

Samantha Covington - a budding authoress and recent genealogical convert, whose 1st edition "Covington Rules O.K!" is an excellent read.

Don Kingsley Covington - A major contributor with extensive U.S. family tree data.

Andrew Pye - His work on the families of Steeple Morden has been most helpful.

Simon Parsons - Webmaster of the Covington Amenities Committee Website in Huntingdonshire from which I have no doubt breached every copyright and apologise unreservedly.

Myra Ann Covington - acknowledged expert on the life on General Leonard Covington who can be found at Rainbow Woman Publishing

Albin Jack Covington - who sent me loads of data on the William tree from the US

Gary Covington III - for the wonderful scroll his father produced in the early 60s detailing his tree

Charles Clement Covernton - for all his contributions to the Covernton history files

William Edward Covington - an American now based in Germany - visit his webpages at www.covington.de

A few useful references are as follows for the Covingtons of Richmond Co NC:

Benton, Carol E. Richmond County Grave Yard Record and Tombstone Records, 1996.
Includes dates and relationships from gravestones.

Bridges, Myrtle N. Estate Records 1772-1933. Book 1 has Covingtons pages 224-287. The earliest Covington will in this excellent book is 1801. Each entry is the estate record for the deceased (not limited to the will).

Covington, William S. The Covingtons, 1941. Available through HeritageQuest online. This less formal compilation has some interesting information with lots of good hints in the reproduced newspaper articles, but there are a number of errors.

McSwain, Eleanor P. My Folk, The First Three Hundred Years 1670-1970, 1972.
This is a well-referenced and documented book including deeds and wills for lots of Richmond Co NC Covingtons.

The section about Covingtons in "British Roots of Maryland Families" (pages 139-140) by Robert Barnes has many errors. This should not be used as a reference. (Available online through Ancestry.com and in libraries):

 

and finally to my family for putting up with me "Playing with the dead" (a phrase coined by my mother) for all these years.
