And Columbus Corsert 22; wife: Louisa (Penny) 18. Both, William and Columbus, served in the Civil War. William was in Co. H, 6th GA Cavalry, and Columbus was in Co. D, Infantry Battalion, Smith's Legion, Georgia Volunteers, was transferred to Co. H, then to Co. F 65th GA Infantry. Most of William's line is still in the Floyd/Polk County, GA area, and some of Columbus' line is in Dekalb Co., AL. Joseph, the son of William, has the name of Lucy Davis on his death certificate as his mother. I believe that the Lucy on his death certificate is the Lucy listed above as Cosart. I believe that she is the mother of William and Columbus, but cannot say for sure. She may have been born Davis and (obviously) married a Cosart. I am almost certain that Joseph's mother was Sarah Jane Self. These three appear again in the "Livingston"area in 1870, they are listed as Cuzzort, Columbus; Cozort, Wm. T.; and Cuzzort, Lucy. Lucy is not listed in 1880, but Columbus and William are. Both are listed as Cuzzort at that time and still in the "Livingston" area. In 1900, William is listed in Polk Co., GA. with his wife: Lucy E (Ruth Esther Hampton). He married Ruth in Floyd County, GA in 1883. The 1900 census has her as "Lucy E," but also has the two married 18 years. "Lucy's" information perfectly matches that of Ruth Hampton. There was a mix-up in her name as it was given to the census taker. She could have been called by a nickname, as she is a widow in the 1910 census, but her name is listed as Pussie Cuzzort. I have more information on Columbus and William, but am interested in Lucy at this point. Does anyone have any information on the LUCY listed here as the widow, living with her daughters? What Cuzzort/Cosart/etc. did she marry? Census suggests that she was born in North Carolina. Please, feel free to E-mail me at Buttercup32472@aol.com
