[or-roots] Covey or Couey

[D. J. Brotherton]

Can anyone help me find out the correct spelling for the Oakville, Oregon, Postmaster from 1872 to 1902  or other information about this man.  The site I visited said John B. Covey.  I am looking for John B. Couey who married my Grandmother in Linn County in  1882. The NARA said there was a problem with some spellings and I am hoping this might be the case.  Since he was  Postmsater in 1880 I have searched the 1880  Federal  Census with no avail.  I find his brother Joseph in Orleans, Oregon.

I hope someome can give me a clue.  This is the first time I have tried  Or-Roots and hope I am doing it correctly.  Thanks again.
