UNDOCUMENTED ANCESTRY

We find numerous sources with tantalizing data, but hesitate to adopt their findings when:

  • the lines of descent conflict from one web source to another.
  • documentation & sources are absent or insufficient
  • the sources listed are unavailable to us, so that scope or ambiguity can't be assessed

We offer this page as an ancestral possibility, with the caveat that it is unconfirmed by us.

Bragon Covert's father, Hans Teunise Covert, born in Heemstedt, Holland in 1657, was the immigrant to America. From the name spelling "Hans", and from his wife Jannetje Brokaw having been born in Mannheim, Germany, we assume Hans Tuenise Covert migrated first to Germany, then to America where his children were born in Brooklyn, then Long Island NY, and by 1706 in Somerset, New Jersey. Bragon Covert was baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City (was New Amsterdam until 1665), and seems to have lived most of his life in Somerset, New Jersey. However, his second and third child were born in New York. He died in Millstone, Somerset, New Jersey.
His oldest son Lucas Covert moved west to Butler County PA, in 1796, the year Bragon would have been 100 years old.

Notes for these generations of Coverts:
Teunis Janssen Covert m. Barbara Lucas Van Kessel (daughter of Lucas Van Kessel); Jan Teunise Covert m. Jannetje Brokaw( daughter of Bourgon Broucard & Catherine LeFevre); Bragon Covert m. Ann Selover.
Sources include 1996 interview of Robert Covert (deceased), Port Charlotte, FL; Dutch Reformed Church of Brooklyn; "Hol. Soc. Yr. Bk. 1897, p 170", mentions gravestone of John Covert, Seneca Co. NY; A note in the "NYG&B mss file" details"Anna Selover....dau of Isaac Selover, schoolmaster & choirister of Flatlands in 1695, and Janneken van Wiekenof, wid. of Jan Thyssen. Note: "we have Anna's parents as Isaac Selover and Judith Waldron. (The Covert Family", Fisher, Covert & Patterson, 1979 p 20). Perhaps Janneken

van Wiekenof was a stepmother since this was her 2nd marriage."
