Book Title: History Of Fountain County

ADDITIONS TO COVINGTON.

   Several additions have from time to time been made to Covington. William
Piatt made a large addition, surveyed by county surveyor C. C. Chadwick
September 1, 1828, and recorded by W. B. White December 4, 1828. In 1836 Isaac
Coleman made a second addition. In 1836 William Piatt, for himself and Laban
Lodge, of Boone county, Kentucky, made a second addition. In the same year the
town plat was enlarged by addition of the south part of the E. `/1 of the S.E.
1/4 of Sec. 26, and the south part of the W. 1/2 of the S.W. 1/4 of Sec. 26, T.
20 N., R. 9 W., by Isaac B. Vance, J. T. Canby, Isaac H. Alexander, John H.
Murphey, Hezekiah Cunningham and William Piatt.

   In 1839 William Piatt added that part described, by running a line from the
southwest corner of Liberty and Sixth streets, east to Seventh street, thence
north to Jefferson street, thence west to Sixth street, and thence to
commencement. In 1841 David Rawles and Robert Hetfield added 8.75 acres, bounded
by a line running from northeast corner, Sec. 35, south between Secs. 35 and 36
for 13 chains and 73 links to a post, thence west 6.37 1/2 chains to a post,
thence north 13.73 chains to a post on the line between Secs. 35 and 36, thence
east 6.37 1/2 chains with said line of beginning. In 1843 Richard Price enlarged
the town plat. In 1847 Nicholas McCarty made an addition situated on the E. 1/2
of the N. W. 1/4 Sec. 36. In 1849 William H. Mallory and James French each
enlarged the plat, and in 1869 William D. Kerr made an addition situated on the
south end of the E. 1/2 of the N.W. 1/2 Sec. 36. He also made a second addition.
Limited space forbids the description of each addition.
