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.

Would a mother have been entitled to a pension? bobwonda@hiwaay.net wrote: >Can't be for sure, but it might be Ann Cozby, mother of Emery Cosby, who >died in June 1896.

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.

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..

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.
