4. | Bird H. Covington was born about 1801 in Fairfax County, Virginia; died on 11 Mar 1861 in Decatur County, Iowa. Notes: For Bird H Covington's birth place, only the state, Virginia, has been verified. The county of birth, Fairfax, is from the apocryphal LDS Ancestry File of the 70s-90s. The given name "Bird" is so unusual I went about searching for verification that it was so. This was prompted from a WPA list that had his given name as "Biod" which is really farfetched. I found it in an official U.S. document (see name source) then I later found it in the Bureau of Land Management database. Bird married Sarah (wife of Bird H. Covington) [?]. Sarah was born about 1815 in Ohio; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart] |
