Note: Nov 2008 this site address no longer functional. These notes, copied Jan 2008, were posted as part of a Covert family tree, owner not recorded.
  • Records of Dutch Ref. Ch. of Brooklyn: "Bragon Covert was baptized 29 Mar 1696. Parents were Hans Coevers & Jannitje; witnesses were Ysaac Brokaer & Marritje Coevers. (Hol. Soc. Yr. Bk. 1897, p. 170).



The owner of this family tree lists Bragon Covert's mother as Jannetje Brokaw, & her parents as Bourgon Broucard and Catherine LeFevre; Bragon Covert's father as Jan Teunise Covert, & his parents as Tuenis Janssen Covert & Barbara Lucas Van Kessel; maternal grandfather as Lucas Van Kessel.

3 Bassett's Notes on Coverts, ed. by Leslie A. Bryan 1957; copy at MN Hist. Soc. Library, St. Paul MN extracted 2008 by Elizabeth Wilson Williams>
  • Derivation of Covert name; probably French Huguenot
  • Teunis Janse Covert & wife Barbara Lucas immigrated 1651 from Heemstede, North Holland. Their 8 children included Hans (John) Teunnise Covert, born in Brooklyn, married Jannetie/Jannitze Brokaw. Eight children of Hans Teunnise Covert & Jannitze Brokaw included Bragon Covert, bapt. in Brooklyn, m. Anna Slover of Fordham Manor. Their 8 children included Lucas Covert, bapt. at Somerville, married Cornelia Van Zandt.

Record,1906, N.Y.; printed by Tobias A. Wright, 1906. Copy at MN Hist. Soc. Library, St. Paul, MN viewed 2008 by Elizabeth Wilson Williams; slim paperback of maybe 20 pages, brittle, pages loose from binding. Extract:
  • Derivation of Covert surname: possibly from Coevorden or Koevorde, fortified town in Province of Drenthe, Holland SSE of Assen. This town-name form has not been seen in connection with:
    "Theunis, whose surname is variably recorded as Coevors, Coevers, Couverts, etc.; but has been seen in two instances connected with his alleged children. These are (a) in record of marriage of Aeltje, where she appears as "Aeltje Theunis Van Couverden" (N.Y. Du. Ch. Rec. - NYG&B Soc. Co.., 1890, p. 45); and (b) in Snell's Hist of Hunterdon and Somerset Cos., N.J. p. 561, and Messler's Hist. of Somerset Co., p. 34 where the authors say that among the heads of families who came from Long Island to N.J. was "Jan Hans Coeverden." The next nearest form is in the deed from "Abraham Coverd" to his brother "Isaac Coverd." Note that wives of Dutchmen were usually spoken of and recorded by their maiden names."
  • "Bergen's "Early Settlers of Kings Co., N.Y." treats the Covert family the most extensively of any work seen. Of Theunis and his family, he says: Teunis Janse (Covert) emigrated 1651 from Heemstede; m. Barbara Lucas or Janse; Hans Teunise (Covert) m. Jannetje Boka (Bragow).
  • In records of Ref. Du. Ch. of NY before 1660; and Holland Society Year Book 1879 p. 133: wife as Barbara Jans appears only once; wife as Barbara Lucas found several times on the church record; no marriage record found; uncertain that the two women were identical.

Per this site, Teunis Janszen (Covert) did not initially use a surname. According to his own testimony, he arrived in America in 1651. Only ten years later he began using the surname Coevors. Of his four known children who were born in Holland, the marriage of only one is of record in America. The betrothal of Lucas Teunisz Coevers, "young man from Heemstede in Holland" is recorded by the Reformed Dutch Church of Flatbush on 6 Aug 1682. A subsequent search of the Heemstede church records produced the baptismal records of Teunis' first four children. The Book of Marriages had this entry: "Teunis Janszen, young man from Lommel, living at Heemstede with Barbara Lucas van Kessel, young dame from Hoorn, living at Amsterdam, were married at Swaegh, a village outside of Hoorn". This entry was made presumably Dec 1645.
The Covert family may thus be chronicled as: Teunis Janszen Covert born about 1620 at Lommel, province of Brabandt, Holland; married about Dec 1645 at Swaegh, province of Noordt Hollandt, Holland, to Barbara Lucas Van Kessel, born about 1625 at Hoorn, Province of Noordt Hollandt, Holland, the daughter of Lucas van Kessel. "Covert Genealogy" by Fischer, Covert & Patterson, 1989, has death date for Teunis as about 1692/98 Brooklyn NY; death date for Barbara as after 29 Apr 1700. They emigrated to New Amsterdam in 1651 to Bedford, Long Island where he became a magistrate.

  • Sources [W1] and [2] disagree on date of birth of son Hans Teunise Covert, and whether born in Holland or Brooklyn; We believe he was born in Brooklyn, as his father left Holland in 1651.
