April 13, 1819 Covert Returned to Seneca County

Earlier this month I shared the information on the creation of the town of Covert, and its attachment to Tompkins County.
Two years later, on April 13, 1819, the Town of Covert was returned to Seneca County. Chapter CXC of the Laws of 1819, passed by the State Legislature on April 13, 1819, viz: "Be it enacted by the people of the State of New-York, represented in Senate and Assembly, That the town of Covert, now in the county of Tompkins, shall be and the same is hereby annexed to and made a part of the county of Seneca.”

Dewitt’s Diary Sunday April 13, 1919
Cold north wind tonight. I went over to see my sweetheart today. Edna has not been feeling very good this last week.

Bruce Townsend and Orin Severn are back from the Army. Saw both of them in Trumansburg.
