Notes

	The Cozarts originated in the Duchy of Normandy, in the Northern part of 
	France. There have been, and I suppose there still are, many prominent 
	families of this name in Europe--some in London, some in Ireland, some in 	
	Holland as well as France.  In the old records of Rouen the family can be 
	traced back as far as the twelfth century.  The present head of the family 
	is the Marquis Cossart d'Espie, the last name designating the locality.  The 
	family was ennobled in the fourteenth century.  From this family sprang the 
	various families in Europe of the name and the American family of Jacques 
	Cossart, Jr.
  	
	The American family descended from the Cossarts of  La Rochelle, France.  
	Here they held positions of great  trust, among them being the keeping of 
	the harbor against foreign enemies.  The tower of La Rochelle commanding 
	the entrance to the harbor occurs in the Coat-of-Arms and in the crest of 
	all the American descendants of the house of Jacques Cossart.
     	
	 At the first outbreak of the Huguenot persecution in France, the Cossarts 
	of La Rochelle moved to Lenden (probably Leyden), Holland where their 
	worship as Protestants would not be interfered with.  Here the family 
	became as prominent as in France, and the tomb of Jacob Cossart I, 
	Burgomaster of Rotterdam, is one of the chief monuments of the City (if 
	still stands).  He was buried with great civil honors, and the family 
	coat-of-arms is engraved on his tomb.

	The family takes up an unbroken line from this point.  Jacques Cossart, Sr., 
	born in 1595, married Rachel Gelton of Liege (now Belgium) and removed 
	to Amsterdam.  In the Walloons Church records of Frankenthal, Bavaria, 
	the village of the French Huguenots, is recorded the marriage of their son 
	Jacques Cossart, Jr., to Lea Villeman (Dutch) Lyda Williams (English) on 
	August 14, 1656.  The names of their children and dates of baptism 
	(according to the rites of the Dutch Reformed Church) are recorded in the 
	State House at Frankenthal, as follows:
	1. Lea Cossart I, baptized May 31, 1657.
	2. Rachel Cossart, baptized November 11, 1658.
	3. Sussanna Cossart, baptized February 3, 1661.

	Jacques Cossart, Jr., and his wife Lea (Lyda) joined a party of French 
	Huguenots and Dutch Protestants and emigrated from Leyden, 
	Holland, on October 14, 1662, on the Vessel “Purmerlander Kersch.”  
	They settled on Manhattan Island (now New York City) and for a time 
	Jacques was Collector of the Revenues for the Pay of the Clergy and 
	Soldiers.  After residing here a while, Jacques and Lyda joined a party 
	of French Huguenots and a few Dutch and founded the village of 
	Bushwick, which became Brooklyn, New York.  In 1666 he was 
	elected treasurer of New Amsterdam (now New York).  A portrait of 
	him is now hanging in the Astor Library in New York City.  After his 
	arrival in America the following children were born:
	4. Jannetje (Jannette) Cossart.
	5. Jacob Cossart II.
	6. David Cossart I.
	7. Anthony Cossart, Sr.

	Jannette Cossart was born Nov. 28, 1665.  She was married on January 10, 
	1688, to Jacob Gollet, of New Amsterdam, the founder of the celebrated 
	multi-millionaire family of Gollets of New York and Newport.

	August 2, 1696, to Elizabeth Valentine, daughter of John Valentine and 
	granddaughter of Timothy Valentine of Schenectady, New York.  (This 
	family were the first proprietors of Valentine Hill in Yonkers, New York.)
	Anthony Cossart, Sr., fourth child born in America, is the ancestor of the 
	Granville County Cozarts and their relatives throughout North Carolina 
	and other states.
	Anthony, Sr., and his wife Elizabeth sold their home in Bushwick (now 
	Brooklyn, New York) in 1703 and moved to Bound Brook, New Jersey.  
	Their children were:
	1. Jacob Cossart II [should be III].
	2. Lea Cossart II.
	3. Anthony Cossart, Jr.

	Jacob Cossart III was born in 1701.  He was the ancestor of Oliver Lindley 
	Cozad, of Marion, Ohio, who was preparing to write a history of the 
	Cossarts, Cozads, Cossatts, Cozarts, Cazorts in 1908.  He stated that the 
	name was being spelled in fifteen different ways at that time.  The children 
	of Jacob Cossart III changed the name to “Cozad.”  (Oliver Lindley Cozad 
	was son of Henry Vankirk Cozad, son of Oliver Cozad, son of Henry 
	Cozad, son of Samuel Cozad, son of Jacob Cossart III.)

	Bumpass, the sister of Captain John Bumpass, who gained some notoriety 
	even before the war for raising a company to resist some of the demands 
	of Governor Tryon, which they deemed unjust and insolent.  Tradition 
	has it that he was lost at the battle of Guilford Court House, or at least 
	he was captured, chained to the back of a cart and not heard of 
	afterwards.  Anthony III and Winnifred Bumpass Cossart’s children 
	were (as far as we know):
	1. James Bumpass Cazort.
	2. William A. Cazort.

	Robert Cazort migrated to Tennessee and died there.
	James Bumpass Cazort married Piety McVey, daughter of John and Mary McVey, 
	sometimes called “Aunt Mollie Magby.”  James Bumpass Cazort and Piety McVey 
	Cazort’s son Sidney Bumpass Cazort was born in Granville County, 1825, and 
	married Martha H. Wallace.  Sidney Bumpass Cazort sold his land on Flat River 
	and migrated to Arkansas the latter part of the year 1749 [written over with

	1. James R. Cazort.
	2. W. A. Cazort.

	near the town of Lamar, seven miles east of Clarksville, Arkansas.

	of George Thomas Cazort.

	County, North Carolina, to Person County near Helena or Timberlake, North 
	Carolina about 1833.  He died in 1846 and was buried on his old plantation in 
	Person County.  His sons erected a monument to his grave in about 1888 or 
	1890.  He was born in Orange County.

	ton’s Mill Creek where he died in 1792.  Whether his first or second wife 
	came with him is not recorded, nor how many children came with him.  
	He was then forty years of age.  He was one of the earliest settlers of 
	the Tar River (Stem-Oxford) section.  The ancestral homestead is now 
	in the Northern part of the Military Reservation (Camp Butner).  His 
	descendants now occupy positions of trust and prominence in 
	Granville, Durham, Wake, Orange and other counties of North 
	Carolina.  His widow Nancy Cossart married Thomas Jones (some 
	say it was Thomas James) on June 13, 1792.

	[NOTE HERE by transcriber:  If this Anthony Cossart, Jr. is the same man 
	as that recorded with first wife Wilhelmina & second wife Nancy, then 
	compiler Mary Ethel Tilley identifies him with two different death dates.]

	“Marking the trial in a pathless wilderness, pressing forward 
	with unswerving courage, she met each untried situation 
	with a resourcefulness equal to the need; with a glad heart 
	she brought to her frontier family her homeland’s cultural 
	heritage; with delicate spiritual sensitiveness she illumined 
	the dullness of routine and the loneliness of isolation with

	From the book: A Brief Historical And Genealogical Sketch Of The Name And 
	Family of Cossart or Cozart  by Mary Ethel Tilley of Rougemont, NC about 
	1930’s [prob after Nov. 1943, as this date is identified on page 51], 
	pages 9-74.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
	From the Social Security Death Index at Ancestry.com on 
	the internet, 20 April 1999 are found the following individuals:

	
	*This is probably Mary Ethel Tilley, author of this sketch 
	(pages 38-39): 
	1) The birth year is close to my estimated 1900 birth year, based on 
	the parent’s marriage on Oct. 26, 1898; 
	2) From her sketch, it would seem the Mary probably 
	did not get married, so that the SSDI would show her under 
	her maiden name; 
	3) The indication is that Mary resided in Rougemont, NC when 
	she probably wrote this sketch, and this is part of the SSDI:

		Name: MARY TILLEY; Born: 25 Aug 1899; Died: Oct 1967; 
		Residence: 27572 (Rougemont, NC);
		Last Benefit: (No Location Given); Social Security 
		#243-68-9255; Issued: North Carolina (1960). 


	*This is possibly the same person as “Arthur Mangum Tilley, 
	Sr.” of page 39 of this sketch:

		Name: ARTHUR TILLEY; Born: 29 Mar 1905; Died: Feb. 
		1985; Residence 27572 (Rougemont, NC);
		Last Benefit: 27572 (Rougemont, NC); Social Security 
		#243-28-4349; Issued: NC (Before 1951).


	*Possibly wife of Arthur Tilley (or Arthur Mangum Tilley, Sr. 
	of page 39 in the sketch above):

		Name: GERTRUDE TILLEY; Born: 27 Jul 1913; Died: 
		Jun 1994; Residence: 27572 (Rougemont, NC);
		27572 (Rougemont, NC); Social Security 
		#242-64-9355; Issued: North Carolina (1958).
