Sources for the maiden names of the Covington wives are below.
William Covington (c1717-c1794) married Sarah Newman in MD: Maryland Marriages 1634-1777 by Robert Barnes gives this marriage as William "Covinton" in 1742 in Queen Anne's County. No month or day are included, and the compiler makes no mention of these omissions though other marriages prior to 1742 include this information.
As yet, there is no known reference for the marriage of this William to Rachel, so there is no proof of her maiden name as Thomas. Her first name Rachel is known by William's will.
Henry Covington (died 1744 MD) married Mary Blakiston, daughter of John Blakiston. She was named as "Mary Covington" in Blakiston's his will dated Dec 2 1733 in Kent Co(?) MD. Source: Robert Barnes, Maryland Genealogies, Vol 1, 1980, page 56-57. There are probably additional references to Mary.
Sources for a second marriage with Sarah Hawkins are not yet located. No wife was mentioned in Henry's will of 1744, and no deed gives her name. What is the origin of her name as a spouse?
