The first two negroes who made their homes in Covington were Findley and Fry. After living here some time they emigrated with their families to Liberia, Africa. Findley, a mulatto, was a son of ex-Governor Findley, of Carolina, a good scholar, and is said to have attained to an honorable public position in Liberia.
