Covington arrives in American
Henry Covington
Our Covington ancestry begins in February 20th 1670 with Henry Covington coming to
Maryland (Queen Annes County) with William Pettus, a London Merchant, as noted in the
First Settlers List.
I have a book on the Covingtons titled "Covingtons Along The Catawba", 1978, written by
my cousin Sidney Harold Covington. He also references a book, "My Folk, The first three
hundred years, 1670-1970.
Henry Covington b. Eng, immigrated to America February 20 1670. Lived on "Providence Plantation" Queen's
Anne's County, MD. m.before 1717 (1) Sarah Hawkins who may have been mother of John Covington, Jr. Henry
may have been husband of Mary Blakiston who died before 1744 in QA's CTY. He probably had brother,
Nehemiah, b. ca 1680-89.
