1	Book: History of Butler County Pennsylvania 1895, page 615, indicates that Luke Covert was the original pioneer settling in Slippery Rock, Brady Twp., Butler Co., PA, in 1796. He was from Holland. His youngest child, John, died in 1873. Luke was supposedly a Hessian soldier in the Revolutionary War who became attached to the American cause while in New Jersey, by being taken prisoner or otherwise. After the war, he settled in Northumberland Co. until 1796, when he moved to Brady Twp. along with his family. The area where he settled became known as "Covert's run."	transcript
