David and Ananias Covington were the sons of Richard Covington and Mary Polly H. Payne. In 1860 David lived in Gordon County. Both men enlisted in the Calhoun Blues in Calhoun, Georgia in 1862. Both were captured and paroled at Vicksburg and exchanged at Mobile in 1863. In September they were absent without leave. These men were believed to have been kidnapped in Dawson County by a gang known as McCollum Scout’s. They were carried to Pickens County where one was hanged and the other shot attempting to escape on the Old Federal Road in a place that Luke Tate (1935) called Covington Hang. 

Luke Tate( 1935) states that… 

…the reasons for this particular act are unknown, but most of the killings and robberies done by the two gangs were directed against people who had aided the Union forces in some way. It was during the year 1864 that the two above mentioned bands flourished, the same year in which Sherman invaded and despoiled the state. In the course of his march Sherman was given information by some of the citizens sympathetic to the Union as to which of their neighbors should be raided, and informers of this sort constituted the chief class of victims of McCollum and Jordan. On the other hand, some of the actions of these gangs seemed to be in total disregard of the victim's affiliations (p.212)

A third brother, John H.Covington , served in the 52nd Georgia and survived the war.

In June of 1864 the 12th Mississippi was brigaded with the 8th Alabama Calvary when General Pillow attacked Federals at LaFayette, Georgia on June 24.

The marker on the side of US 41 had an incorrect date of birth. Elias Whiddon was actually born in 1817. He served in the Second Seminole War.  Pate identified Whiddon as a man that did not support Secession. He felt that the Union should be preserved. 

Elias and Nancy had two sons who joined a company of the 7th Georgia State troops which became Company F of the 59th Georgia Infantry. Lott died in General Hospital of typhoid pneumonia on October 25, 1862. John D. was killed May 31, 1864 near Cold Harbor in Virginia. 

Late in the war Elias joined the state militia. He was sent home sick with the measles. Nancy contracted the disease and died October 10, 1864. Three months later Elias succumbed to the measles.
