Notes:
Peter and Elizabeth were married in 1869. The children born before then are from a previous wife.
In 1840, there is a P. G. Cozart in Fayette County, VA. In this home are 1M(10-15) 1M(30-40) (this would be him) 1F(0-5) 1F(5-10) 1F(10-15) 1F(30-40) (VIEW CENSUS HERE) If this is our Peter, then I would assume he was married at least 3 times. First wife, recorded in 1840, would be too old to have children in the 1860s. I have not been able to locate Peter in 1850 or 1860. If anyone knows where to find him, please let me know!
Marriage Record: Peter Cozart and Catherine Cozart -- This record in Person County, North Carolina does not appear to be this Peter. Catherine seems to have outlived Peter and is still in Person County in 1880, presumably living with a married daughter.
The name of the older listed children's mother, Elizabeth, came from Nancy's death certificate. I have not been able to confirm her name from any other records.
There is also a Peter Cozad (b.1818) with a wife Eliza. This Peter was born in Pennsylvania. He had children: Phebe J. (1843), John (1846), Mary M. (1853), Emily (1855). I have seen his children confused mixed up with Peter Cozart's.
