Covalt Cemetery, Terrace Park, Hamilton County, Ohio

May 3, 2001   Brad Buck (thebucks@core.com)

This was the original cemetery for Covalt Station also called Bethany Town, 
now known as Terrace Park, OH.  No visible remains of the cemetery exist 
today, and it's original location can only be estimated.  The cemetery was 
allegedly 60 feet below the fort and within 60 feet of the mill on the mill 
stream (now called Red Bird Creek) Years of earth moving, stream re-routing 
and canal digging have removed all traces of the cemetery and mill.  A 
church sits on the site of the old fort.

The Covalt settlement was begun in 1789.   

Those thought to be buried in the cemetery:

Captain Abraham Covalt (1742- March,1791), veteran of French and Indian and 
Revolutionary Wars. Killed by Indians.

Mrs. Covalt (died Oct 13, 1843, allegedly buried next to Captain Covalt)

Abraham Covalt Jr. (III)  (died January, 1791) Killed by Indians.

Abel Cook (died February 27, 1791)  Killed by Indians.

Joseph  Hinkle (killed by Indians with Captain Covalt, March 1791)
