Re Martha Ellen (Patsy)Covey, she married Johnson Hunt and they also went to Buffalo Gap (Taylor County, I think) where they both died in 1895. The place only had 1200 people and a jail in 1880 and that's before Abilene, Texas existed.
I see none of the names you listed connected to the Covey line by marriage (Enoch was my gg grandfather and this is a line I've worked on a long time), but I know the Hunts' descendants went to Dallas, Texas (hotel business), to White Oaks (Lincoln Co where I think other Coveys may have gone with Chiscolm (Chisum), NM (now a ghost town near Carrizozo, NM), to Silver City, NM, to Amarillo, Texas, to Beckham County, OK as well as Elk City, Cheyenne, Sayre, and Shattuck in OK, to Tucumcari, NM, and some are buried in Bradshaw Cemetery in Abilene, Texas. We had Covey descendants who owned the Wooten Hotel in Abilene after it became a Texas place, thanks to the railroad.
Possibly some of the folks you're looking for can be found in the same general areas, mainly because that's the way Texas was developing as it opened up for development in those days and from what I've found, the folks around Millwood married and moved around in groups. A large number of our Coveys went to Sherman, Grayson Co., Texas, outside of Martha Ellen and Johnson Hunt. Enoch Hunt, by the way, was her son and he has a burial in Millwood Cemetery.
