Sorry, we'll need more clues. When you're posting information, keep in mind the W's: who, what, when, and where. Do you have the name of a specific couple and when & where for their births, marriage, and/or deaths? The name of the wife is often necessary to identify a specific person. Do you know where the family lived before or after Maryland? FamilySearch database of the 1880 Census indicates families of North Carolina and Tennessee.

One of the problems is that COZART appears to be only one of many spellings for a Huguenot name that may have been COZAD, COS(S)AR(T). Also, there were both black and white families. BARNES' MD Marriages has Mary _ & Louis COSAR, free blacks from St. Domingo, m. 14 Jan. 1816, Baltimore Co.

The early settlers may have been in New York or Sussex Co., NJ. Some of the family were found in Washington and Allegany Cos., MD, by 1775. David COSSART was listed on a muster roll in Washington Co., 1775, and Daniel & Wm. signed Oaths of Fidelity in 1778.

Wanna' try again?
