Biography

Mattie (Martha) was born 1 April 1857. She was a child of John Martin Covington and Mary Jane Washburn. Mattie passed away in 1895.

  • Information originally added Wednesday, August 20, 2014.
  • In the 1860 Census for Amite County, Mississippi JUST BEFORE THE WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION, the family of John Martin Covington is listed as follows:
  • John M. Covington, 42, Kentucky
  • Mary (Jane Washburn) Covington, 31, Vermont
  • Martha, 3, Mississippi
  • Emma, 2, Mississippi
  • Jane, 16, Mississippi (Jane is the daughter of John Covington's brother, Robert who became ill enough in 1848 to request John be granted guardianship of his only child, Jane).
  • The 1870 census record for Amite County, Mississippi is a researcher's nightmare! The Census taker used INITIALS for many of the residents, including our Mary Jane Washburn! Clearly, some of the ages of the children have been incorrectly stated!!
  • M. J. Covington, 37 (31 in 1860), Teacher, Vermont
  • M. M. , 13, F, at school, Mississippi
  • E. J. , 12, F, at school, Mississippi
