RICHMOND COUNTY "SIDE LINES"

      by W.D. Bostick

Anson County, NC, was formed in 1750 from Bladen Co.; in turn, Richmond 
County was subsequently formed in 1779 from Anson Co.  The BOSTICK and 
COVINGTON clans, along with their allied lines, were among the early 
settlers in Anson/Richmond County.

 J. & I. Huneycutt, "A History of Richmond County (NC)", publ. 1976, writes: 

"The BOSTICKS intermarried with the STEELES, COVINGTONS, MCRAES, TURNERS, 
NICHOLSONS, MCLEODS, INGRAMS, and others.  Many of the descendants by the 
name of Bostick live in Richmond County today." Of the COVINGTONS: "The 
Covingtons descendants are WALLS, EVERETTS, HUNTERS, CAPELS, BALDWINS, 
GIBSONS, TERRYS, THROWERS, INGRAMS, LEDBETTERS, COLES, LITTLES, DUNNS, 
THOMASES, MASONS, USSERYS, ROPERS, CRAWFORDS, KELLYS, LEAKS, THOMPSONS, 
STEELES, ENTWISTLES, BALTONS, SMITHS, ELLERBES, NICHOLS, HAYWOODS, WEBBS, 
WATSONS, BOSTICKS, PARSONS, and HUDSONS and probably others.
