Isaac Covert was born in Jackson township, Butler county, Pennsylvania, and grew to manhood in this county, receiving a limited education in the pioneer subscription schools. Like the majority of the pioneers he engaged in farming and followed that vocation. About 1819 he married Kate A. (Ann) Roseboro (Morgan), who became the mother of three children, as follows: Harriet, who married William Park, of Allegheny City; Charlotte, who married Robert Spear (Speer), of Adams township, and Mary A. (Ann), who married Joseph Fowler, and after his death (William) Curtis Fox. Mrs. Covert died in 1844 (1842?), and he was married to Mrs. Louisa Crowe in 1845. One son, Miles, was the fruit of this union. Mr. Covert died in 1870; his widow survived until January, 1893. They were members of the Baptist church. In politics, he was first a Whig and afterwards a Republican. Mr. Covert settled on a tract of 100 acres of land in Adams township, and through the passing years he accumulated a large estate, and at his death was the owner of 500 acres. He was one of the substantial and highly respected citizens of the township, and enjoyed the confidence of the community wherein his life was passed.
