Cosbys on 1850 census: James T Cosby 44, Ann 38, Ellender 25, Wiley 21, Spencer 18, Emrey 17, Spencer 17, Isaac 15, David 13, Mary10, William 6, Uriah 2, Nancy 1 are lisetd on pg 95 of the Blount Co., 1850 census. This 1850 census and the 1860 indicate that her birthdate would be about 1812. I find it interesting that James' birthplace is given as NC and Ann's as TN on both 1850& 1860 censuses. Yet on the 1880 census Emory's and Spencer's father's birthplace is given as TN and their mother's as AL.

There is a 48-yr-old Ann listed on pg 931 of the 1860 Blount Co Census. Would that be her? The head of house is Jas S. 50 The surname is spelled "Causby". 7 children ages 5-23 are listed with them. They are listed just before an Isaac Cosby 25 and his family. Emory Cosby, 27, and Spencer S Cosby, 28, are on page 929, with their families. I found Emory and S S on the 1870 & 1880 censuses, but no Isaac or Jas S or Ann..

Thanks for your reply. I thought S.A. Cozby might possibly be Salema Ann Cowden/Cozby, a daughter of Beverly Cornelius. She married Robert Lindsey Cowden who died in the Civil War. She later married William David Cozby in Hunt Co., TX. William died in 1881 in Hunt Co so thought she might have moved back to Alabama. She is mentioned in Beverly's probate records as late as 23 Feb 1891 (still in Hunt Co) which is the last date for which I have information. ----- Original Message ----- From: <bobwonda@hiwaay.net> To: <alblount@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2006 7:52 PM Subject: Re: [ALBLOUNT] Confederate Pensioners as of 26 Nov 1896 > Can't be for sure, but it might be Ann Cozby, mother of Emery Cosby, who > died in June 1896.

Can't be for sure, but it might be Ann Cozby, mother of Emery Cosby, who died in June 1896. Even though she died before August, her name would have still be on the roll until her next warrant for pension was issued and went unclaimed. An unclaimed warrant was usually taken to mean the pensioner had died or moved out of the area. Unclaimed warrants were returned to the State Auditor. The 25 Jun 1896 issued of the News-Dispatch reported she lived near Springville and was buried at Remlap. No monument was located. Emery was born in 1833, so Ann must have been close to 85 or 90. >In the August 2006 posting of Confederate soldiers and widows on this >forum, a widow S.A.

Yes, these are excellent books. If you do not have a Books A Million nearby you can order through Amazon.com. "Trail of Tears, The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation" by John Ehle can be purchased for about $12.00 new and $1.50 used.

I tell this story in hopes that someone else may be doing a search like mine. I am reading the book "The Trail of Tears" The Story of the American Indian Removals 1813-1855 by Gloria Jahoda. I highly recommend this book. While very hard to read because of emotions, the book explains the situations. Their are a lot of names in the book, and a good Bibliography. As I said it slow and hard reading because of the emotion (for me). The stories of my Great Grandfather Amos Amerson told by his children and grandchildren always refer to his anger about how THEY treated the Indians and would he would tell them never to tell about having Indian blood because their land would be taken from them. Amos was born (we believe) 1 June 1840 in either Blount Co., Alabama or somewhere in Georgia. Records say different places. So if he was, it was too late for the actual Trail of Tears. He implied that he was in a round up. He would tell his family stories that all Indians and part Indians were forced to leave their homes in Georgia and go to an Indian Reservation in Oklahoma. They were rounded up and driven like cattle. They wore out their shoes and had to wrap their feet in animal skins. This was like the "Tail of Tears", only smaller. They may have even traveled the same roads. What ever property they had was left behind except what they cold carry on their backs. (statement of grand daughter) " It is say to see why Grandpa didn't claim his Indian blood. He said, "Some one may come in and take everything you have." His children believed that Amos Mother and some of his family were on a Reservation in Oklahoma during the Civil War but I found that to be untrue. I believe there are two different stories and in being past down they became one. I find Amos with his parents (?) in Sumter Co., Alabama in 1850 on the Census and then on the 1860 with his Mother Elizabeth , a brother W. Barton his wife and younger sister Frances in Pike, Montgomery Co., Arkansas. Older siblings (if they are really his siblings) are in Marion Co. and Blount Co., Alabama on both census. In Jan 1 1860 his sister Frances Amerson and brother in law William W. Salyers (also on the 1860 Montgomery Co., Ark census) are married in Blount Co., Alabama. His mother Elizabeth McDonald Amerson is known to be in Blount Co., Alabama also in 1861 to get her inheritance from her father William McDonald. Amos's sister Frances (Fanny) Amerson Salyers and her children applied for Indian Claim in 1906 They were refused. But in reading the information she gave, she made many mistakes. She was one of the younger children in the family. Amos had refused to give her information per family tales. Maybe by reading the book "The Trail of Tears" I can unravel this mystery. The families that may be involved are Benjamin Amerson (Amason) Jasper Amerson (maybe be the same as Benjamin) and William McDonald b. 17 March 1781 d. 13 April 1860 and Frances Lewelling (Lewellan), Rachel Holder b. 15 March 1753 d. 12 October 1839 buried McDonald Chitwood Cemetery and allied families ----- Original Message ----- From: <Lamisu@aol.com> To: <alblount@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 8:24 AM Subject: Re: [ALBLOUNT] ALBLOUNT Digest, Vol 1, Issue 41 > Susan, there are several "Trail of Tears" lists.

Susan, there are several "Trail of Tears" lists. Search for "Cherokee" or "Trail of Tears" and you should find them among lots of other information. If you have trouble, let me know and I will be more specific. I think they are referred to as "The Rolls". They are described in the book "Cherokee Roots Vol. I and II". I see at least 15 Rolls. You must read the description of each Roll carefully. You will find a Roll that they plan on sending west but some of them may have never actually gone. Look for the Rolls that show those that actually arrived in Ok or at least left for the journey. Some that left escaped during the trip and returned home or elsewhere. Some, of course, died during the trip. These numbers are discussed in some of the Rolls. Dean
