John COvode's Ancestry.

The grandfather of the Hon. John CO.
vode of Pennsylvania was picked up at
Amsterdam when child three or four years,
put on vessel and brought to Philadelphia,
where he was sold by the captain as a "re-
demptioner" until he was % years OF age,
the captain giving him the name Of Covode.
He was sold to man In Chester county by
the name Of Miller. He never learned to
read or write. After he had served out his
time, he married the widow of a British
officer, the officer having died at York,
Penn: There was one son the issue of that
ma riage, and the Hon. John Cevode is the
son Of that son, his father having died about
the time of his first election 20 Congress.
Some time since an effort was made to trace
the family IN Amsterdam, but no name OF
the kind could be found there, leading to the
suppesition that tho captain gave the child
a name of his own contriving. At another
time the American Consul at Amsterdam
was asked to inquire concerning a child oi
that age lost at that time, but SO many had
been stolen and carried off that nothing
could be learned Of that family, and the
search is now abandoned.
