     Henry Covey was born on 2 September 1809 at Quebec. He was the son of Enos Covey and Saloma (?). Henry Covey married Susan (?). Henry Covey died on 23 August 1867 at New York at age 57; Residence on burial listed as NY. He was in his 58th year.¹ He was buried at Dunn's Cemetery, Franklin Centre, Huntingdon Co, Quebec, by Rev. Stephen Bond; Witnesses were Samuel Covey and Benjamin Covey.^2,3
     At this point, we cannot be sure of Henry Covey's parentage. He MAY be the son of Enos and Saloma Covey, but this connection is made solely by the process of elimination and combined guesswork. We know Henry was related somehow, he named a son Enos, and in order to put him and his descendants in the tree, we have to connect somewhere. Hopefully, some reader will see this and have the proof some of us have been seeking for years.⁴ He appeared on the census of 1851 at Russelltown, Beauharnois Co, Quebec; Henry Covey, laborer, b.
