Authority to pass the account of Rachel Covington, executrix of the Estate of Henry Covington. Queen Ann's County, Maryland, dated September 9, 1767. "Will probated May 14, 1767 in Queen Ann County, MD. Henry Covington came to Maryland, to Mattapony, the manor of Hon. Henry Sewell. Henry Covington's wife was Mary Blackistone. He is listed in "First Settlers List" as coming to America, to Maryland, 20 Feb 1670 (Archives Maryland Liber, 16, Folio 88). Henry Covington's family attended St. Paul's Church in Kent County, Maryland, and St. Lukes Church in Queen Ann's County, Maryland. Henry Covington is thought by some to have been the first Covington to America, but this is not true. Nehemiah was the first, arriving first in 1652, returning to England then coming back to America to stay in 1662 with his pregnant wife and six children. Nehemiah's second arrival in America preceded Henry's first." from geni.com. This is likely the right person as probate was in 1767. Rachel Covington was the wife of Henry and lived from c. 1719-75. From the Hyatt Estate.
