Posted on: BLACKSHEAR Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/b/l/BLACKSHEAR/queries/10006 Surname: Cosart ------------------------- I have many of the Cozad lineage, they go back to France, the name has changed through the years from Cossart, Cozad & other spellings all coming from the Original one Jacques Cozart who married Lydia Willams(?),I do not as yet have dates, but in tweaking the French, it is really of Flemish or Belgium origin. I get it from a Hannah Cozad that married a John Collins, in what is now, WV, but her family came from NJ. They moved there for a while, but some of their kids came back and kept the Collins name in WV.You may E-mail me at snider_susan@hotmail.com...
