Dodge County GaArchives Biographies.....Rozar, Charles M. ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Joy Fisher [email protected] December 29, 2004, 5:44 pm Author: MRS. WILTON PHILIP COBB The Rozar Family. The Rozar family trace their ancestors back to North Carolina. The name is said to be of French origin, but evidently came through England, as the family is typically English, with here and there some Irish showing. Robert Rozar was born in 1756 in Halifax County, North Carolina, and at the age of nineteen, while a resident of Bladen County, enlisted in Col. Brown's North Carolina Regiment, and began service as a Revolutionary soldier. In the winter of 1781 or '82 he moved to Georgetown Parish in South Carolina, and enlisted in Col. Horry's South Carolina Regiment. After the Revolution Robert Rozar moved to Wilkinson County, Georgia, and became one of the early settlers of that county. He lived the life of a planter of his day, as his will would indicate when he disposed of his money and slaves. He lived to the ripe age of eighty-four. From this early settler of Wilkinson County came the Rozar family of Dodge County. Among the early settlers who came to Dodge was Charles M. Rozar. He settled near the present site of Bethel church many years previous to the War Between the States. He perhaps settled in the wild woods of that section about 1835 or 1840. He became a leading citizen and large land owner; it is said his sheep were so numerous he never knew how many he owned. He was married three times. One of his wives was Miss Sara Lister, sister of Dan Lister, and from this union was born a son, C. M. Rozar, commonly known as "Boss Rozar," and from an earlier marriage came J. J. Rozar, who was elected first Ordinary of Dodge County. He served eighteen years and died while holding office. He was more commonly known as Judge Rozar. An avenue in Eastman was named in his honor. C. M. ("Boss"), half brother to J. J. (Judge), was later elected one of the five road commissioners of Dodge County, and was serving as such when the present court house was erected. Both died a few years ago, leaving large families. They are remembered as leaders among men. Boss Rozar made his home and died in the Bethel church community. He was an auctioneer and went far and near to hold auction sales. He is buried in Rozar cemetery on his old homestead. His father, C. M., was a Confederate soldier. The children of C. M. (Boss) are several girls and four boys: J. J. and Jack, who are farmers on the old homestead; Frank, who holds a responsible position with the Berry Schools at Rome, Ga.; C. M., Jr., is with the Coastal Plains Chevrolet Co. at Brunswick. A brother to old man C. M., who was named Shade Rozar, reared a family in Wilkinson County. He was a large planter, ran a public gin, and was interested in schools. He reared a family of several girls and three boys, viz.: Dan, who married a Miss Coleman near Chester, and reared several children; William, who married a Mrs. Rogers; James Washington, who married Isabella Lister, a sister to Dan Lister. He was a Confederate soldier. He reared a family of several girls and one boy, viz.: Charles B. Rozar; James Washington Rozar, who taught school in his early days. He taught the first school ever held at Bethel church in this county and was considered well educated for those days. He died at the age of eighty-nine and is buried in Rozar cemetery. Charles B. Rozar married Annie Hall, daughter of W. R. Hall, Sr. Mr. Rozar invented and patented the first knocker guano distributor. This was an ordinary plow stock with a wheel in front, with proper hopper and irons. Later he invented and patented a knocker with a wheel behind, the first of its kind to be put on the market. This style of guano distributor has become generally used by the farmers of the agricultural states. Mr. and Mrs. Rozar are the parents of: Minnie Ola; Annie Mae; Ruth; Walter C.; and Albert E. Albert E. served as cashier of the Bank of Eastman several years, and also taught school in Dodge and other counties. He is now with the U. S. Government in Winston-Salem, N. C. He married Mattie Morris, of Pearson, Ga., and to this union has been born two children, Albertine and Morris. He served in the World War in the 82nd Division, having seen service overseas in some of the major battles. He is a Methodist, Democrat, and a charter member of the Dodge County Post, American Legion. Walter C. Rozar, who is now County School Superintendent, having served eight years in this capacity, taught school several years in this county and other counties in the State. He was married in 1919 to Beula Pafford, and to this union has been born one son, W. C. Rozar, Jr. He was a soldier in the World War, Corporal in the Supply Company of the 17th Infantry, 12th Division. He is a charter member of the Dodge County Post, American Legion, also past Commander of the Legion. During his term of office as School Superintendent he has been an advocate of the cause of the underprivileged child. He has succeeded in making available a high school education for all the children of the county. His three sisters are now teaching in Dodge County, and many of his ancestors were teachers. The Rozar family has never been numerous in Dodge County, perhaps not more than fifteen men of this name have ever lived in the county at one time, yet they have contributed their part to the trend of progress in bringing Dodge County from the wilderness to the present state. They have always advocated better schools and clean government, and the entire race has assumed leadership in the march of progress.
