Notes for Robert Nelson Covington
I believe Robert’s parents are Lewis and Sallie Covington based on the following association:

Mother: Sally Beasley

Robert Nelson
son James Nelson married Olivia Rose who’s parents were Marcus Aurelius Rose and Elizabeth Beasley
Notes for Mary (Spouse 1)
Parents based on circumstantial evidence. No 1860 census for James and Frances Whittico/Whittaker. Believe Lucy and Mary Whittaker were sisters, noting the marriage between William Woodson Whittaker and Lottie Covinington.
