As said before, we can't get across the pond! Have been told our heritage is of Scotland--census data bears that out. Documents on hand show different spellings ie: Coventry/Covintree (supposedly correct)/Coventree (how Grandmom said all legal papers should be signed) Charles W. b.1811-10-09; d. 1857-07-01; lived in Newark, NJ. Had liverey stable & the Steamboat Hotel. m. Mary E. Creely of Burlington, NJ, 1845-09-01. Visited Mt. Pleasant Cemetary, Newark: other family members: Pamela b. 1849; d.1852--Elizabeth b.1850; d. 1851--James b. ? ; d.1851. Charles & James headstones are about 3' high, there are no markers for the children. They had 4 other children: George C., Fred, Charles William (my G-Grandfather) & Emma.
Variances in documents: Charles W.'s b. as being in Nova Scotia & Scotland. Also, on Charles Wm.'s death cert., his fathers name is listed George Henry. Perhaps, George Henry was Charles W.'s father in Scotland or the was the 1st to come to USA
