William and Robert H Cozart NC-TN-MO
Be a shame to let a month go by without a posting to this forum, so here's my contribution. I notice internet gedcoms are appearing that identify a Robert H Cozart of Wayne County Missouri as the son of William and Dicey Carrington Cozart of Person County NC.Am looking for a source of this link.Robert H Cozart apparently moved to Missouri in the mid 1830s, being found in 1840 and subsequent Wayne county census listings.Land records are also available. Robert was born in NC, his wife Pheobe in TN.In 1850 70 year old William Cozart (Born NC) is found in his household.William Cozart of Person County is head of household in Person County from 1810 through 1850, and is found in the household of his son Carrington Cozart in 1860 and 1870.I suspect the William found in Missouri in 1850 is the same as in Madison County TN in 1840, and in Orange County NC in 1820.Clues but no proof.Does anyone have information on the relationship between Robert and Chesley Cozart - perhaps brother?Chesley also born in NC with TN wife. I notice Robert had a daughter named Winnifred and his oldest sons were named Robert, James and William. More clues? Perhaps an allied family can be discerned - Meadows (Medders) from NC, briefly in TN, then MO.Dee Ann, where are you?
