I am looking for information on the family of Melchesadek Covington. Melchesadek was born in North Carolina, and married Scythe Lexington (unsure of name) from Virginia. Melchesadek and Scythe had two children, Jack A. Covington and Virginia Fairfax Covington.

Jack was born in 1822 in Kentucky, and resided in Middletown, Missouri. He died 25 Feb 1919 in Montgomery County, Missouri.

Virginia was born 17 Sep 1823 in Kentucky, and married Daniel Webster White in Calloway County; I am guessing this would be in the mid-1840's.

Daniel H. was the son of William White and Anne Fletcher, and was born 3 Apr 1827 in Maryland.

Daniel and Virginia eventually settled and farmed in Montgomery County, Missouri, where they raised four children: William Melchizedic, John Henry, Daniel Webster, and Katherine "Kitty" White.

William Melchizedic White is my gggrndfather, and Daniel and Virginia are my ggggrandparents.

Any information on the Covingtons, and how they reached Calloway County in the 1840's, would be appreciated.
