General Notes: Husband - Morris Covert

---

He was the progenitor of the Covert family in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The Coverts came originally from Holland, and settled in eastern Pennsylvania. Morris was born and married there, and one child was born east of the mountains. About 1800 he and his family came to western Pennsylvania, and located on a farm ten miles north of Allegheny City. They subsequently removed to Butler County, and settled in what is now Jackson township, not far from the site of Evans City. He became an extensive land owner and quite prominent among the pioneers of that locality. He served in the War of 1812, and resided in Jackson township until his death. He and his wife were the parents of quite a large family, and were members of the Plains Presbyterian church, in which body he served as elder.
