Notes for Mary Whittaker
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.
Notes for Robert Nelson (Spouse 1)
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
