The three Covington brothers who sailed on the Ark were:

1. Thomas Covington
2. William Covington
3. John Covington

They do not appear on some passenger lists since they were the "gentlemen" of a Gentleman. By most accounts, Thomas remained in Maryland, while William and John settled in the Carolinas.
