Posted
5 May 1999 to Covey list:
A while
back I promised to post the Covey entries in this book. William
would be my Wm born 1765 died 1845, and married to 1) Esther Yarns,
2) Betsey Coon (mine), and 3) Nancy Smith. The names Hope and Kingsberry
prove there is *some* connection with the descendants of the 1640
immigrant, but just exactly who are these people? Since William's
first son wasn't born until 1797, then these names have to be his
contemporaries or elders. Are they brothers? uncles? cousins? Who
is Daniel? The only Daniels in the Quist book are all born after
this time period. And of course, which John, which Hope, which Joseph,
which Kingsberry? I suspect the latter 3 are the sons of James &
Mary (Lanphere) Covey, but where do Daniel and John fit in, and
how does William fit in with the rest?

Covey
Entries in the day Book for the store of William Musson in Gilbertsville,
in the township of Butternuts, Otsego County NY (Day Book covers
7 May 1802 to 23 Feb 1803)
The
original book is at the public
library in Gilbertsville, in the basement genealogy collection.
The book can be looked at, but copies only from the typed extract.
Spellings are as in the typed extracts. To clarify the difference
between an entry being actually 1/2 versus half, when there is a
fraction, I've put the fraction in [brackets]. Example for Joseph,
that is one and a half yards of callico and 8/four and a half.
