John H. Cozart (son of Reuben Cozart and Elizabeth Weaver) was born in 1803 in North Carolina. He died on May 14, 1882 in Wyoming County, West Virginia. He married Ann Fowler on August 8, 1824 in Person County, North Carolina. Ann died before 1840.
Children of John H. Cozart and Ann Fowler
1. Martha A. Cozart was born in 1825 in North Carolina.
2. Daughter Cozart was born in 1827 in North Carolina.
3. William Harrison Cozart was born in 1829.
4. John L. Cozart was born in 1832.
Notes:
In 1850, there is a Washington L. Cozart, age 7. Who is he? I have not seen any evidence that John remarried after Ann's death.
In 1860, there is a John Cozart, age 3. Who is he? I have seen some genealogies place him as the son of Martha, and that she had him out of wedlock, along with another child later on, named Isabelle. Could Washington in the previous census be her child as well? Are there records to show these relationships? In 1870, there is a Martha Shumate, wife of Owen Shumate, and a John and Isabelle Cozart are living in the home. I could not locate this family in 1880.
The birth year of the unknown daughter was estimated based on the age range given in the 1840 census and the known birth years for the other children.
