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.

Peter G. Cozart

Peter G. Cozart  (son of Reuben Cozart and Elizabeth Weaver) was born in 1802 in North Carolina.  He died on December 29, 1884 in Wyoming County, West Virginia.  He married Elizabeth before 1854.  

Children of Peter G. Cozart and Elizabeth
1.  Mary Cozart was born in 1854 in Virginia.
2.  William Cozart was born in 1858 in Virginia.
3.  Nancy Cozart was born in 1862.
4.  John Cozart was born in 1864 in West Virginia.
5.  James Cozart was born in 1867 in West Virginia.

He married Elizabeth McMillan (daughter of Dudley McMillan and Mary) on June 19, 1869 in West Virginia.  She was born in 1832 in Virginia.

Children of Peter G. Cozart and Elizabeth McMillan
6.  Margaret A. Cozart was born in 1871 in West Virginia.
7.  Martha Jane Cozart was born in November 23, 1876.

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.
