Greettings!
I received a most welcomed shock on Saturday, August 16, 2006. I engaged in a conversation with a relative of Wilkinson.
I was told the following;
Ossie Bland married a Miller.
Leebert Sancho is his classmate
Richmond , Miller, Poole, and Kippins, resided at Cove and John Front Lands .
They are his relatives.
Leila Rutherford, a Registered Nurse, who is resident in Jamaica , is aware of the genealogy of the kinships of Adams , Luke, and Samuels.
Although birthed in Albousytown his mother is from the district, Cove and John Front Lands . Oliver Hinckson is his younger brother. Well, that’s perhaps the reason why I found Oliver to be charismatic character. I thought Oliver was Buxtonian in nature.
Observation and Questions: Cove and John 
At the beginning of the twentieth century Cove and John still possessed a huge African population. However, at some point Cove and John became an East Indian Village. When I became intimate with the district, the population of Cove and John was over- whelming Indian. However, the majority of the names of the folks resting in peace in the cemetery in the village were predominately African.
  1. What happened to the blacks who resided at Cove and John?
  2. Did the transformation of Cove and John take place during the political upheavals of the 1960s?
