Bragon Covert's father, Hans Teunise Covert, born in Heemstedt, Holland in 1657, was the immigrant to America.  From the name spelling "Hans", and from his wife Jannetje Brokaw having been born in Mannheim, Germany, we assume Hans Tuenise Covert migrated first to Germany, then to America where his children were born in Brooklyn, then Long Island NY, and by 1706 in Somerset, New Jersey.  Bragon Covert  was baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City (was New Amsterdam until 1665), and seems to have lived most of his life in Somerset, New Jersey. However, his second and third child were born in New York. He died in Millstone, Somerset, New Jersey.  <br>His oldest son Lucas Covert moved west to Butler County PA, in 1796, the year Bragon would have been 100 years old.

UNDOCUMENTED ANCESTRY

We find numerous sources with tantalizing data, but hesitate to adopt their findings when:

  • the lines of descent conflict from one web source to another.
  • documentation & sources are absent or insufficient
  • the sources listed are unavailable to us, so that scope or ambiguity can't be assessed

We offer this page as an ancestral possibility, with the caveat that it is unconfirmed by us.

Bragon Covert's father, Hans Teunise Covert, born in Heemstedt, Holland in 1657, was the immigrant to America. From the name spelling "Hans", and from his wife Jannetje Brokaw having been born in Mannheim, Germany, we assume Hans Tuenise Covert migrated first to Germany, then to America where his children were born in Brooklyn, then Long Island NY, and by 1706 in Somerset, New Jersey. Bragon Covert was baptised in the Dutch Reformed Church of New York City (was New Amsterdam until 1665), and seems to have lived most of his life in Somerset, New Jersey. However, his second and third child were born in New York. He died in Millstone, Somerset, New Jersey.
His oldest son Lucas Covert moved west to Butler County PA, in 1796, the year Bragon would have been 100 years old.
