Thank-you for your reply. You may be correct. I actually found George P. Covert's family cemetery plot in the City Cemetery of Ithaca, NY.On the grave stone were four Covert's: George P. Covert Born Coeymans8/16/1797, Died 11/17/1875 in Ithaca, NY.
Ester Elizabeth wife of George P Covert, Born at Bedford 3/15/1802, Died Ithaca, NY on 11/11/1875.Stephen B Covert, Born
5/2/1820, Died 11/30/1903. Emily A. wife of Stephen B. Covert, Born 1/5/1835, Died 1/4/1935. Will visit this cemetery again this spring.My search is for a Mary Covert, which is my family tie. She married a John Pickering in Ithaca, NY.From there on I have it well documented.I did find a record of a Mary Covert as the daughter of George Covert and Hester (Bassett) Covert. The record showed she was born on June 4, 1820 which seems to be in the right time period.My problem is Stephen B. Covert if he is the a son of George P. Covert then one of the dates must be off. Stephen could not be born on 5/2/1820 and Mary born of 6/4/1820. I do believe George P. is my relative as you stated but I must sort out the date problem of Stephen and Mary. That is assumming Stephen is George P. Covert's son. That I am not sure of. I just assummed that being buried in the same plot. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. By the way Coeymans, is near Albany, NY.
