    3. In the censuses for NC in both 1820 and 1830, Ozment heads of household appear primarily in Guilford County, but the indexes do not show a John among this group. The only John is in Stokes County, NC in 1820, on p. 51. Of the children of John Jasper Ozment, I have found my ancestor Andrew Clinton Ozment in 1870 and 1880 Cooke Co., TX: Andrew C. Ozment (and Mack [Murdock Macintosh], William D. [likely William Henry, older brother to Andrew], James T. [James Jasper] and David B. [David Bruer/Brewer] Ozment) are listed in the TX, Cook Co, Gainsville Prec . 1870 census, p.238 and 244, living in adjacent dwellings (#95, 98, 99). Are brothers, with different mothers. "Andy C. Ozment" is listed in 1870 as a "Teamster" 26 years of age, born in Mississippi. He cannot read nor write. His wife, Melinda M., age 19, was born in Missouri, can read and write ; they have an 8-month old baby girl, Martha L., born in September 1869 in TX. Cooke County Land Grants were issued to J.Ozment, Abstract #809; to M.Ozment, Abstract #804; to J.Ozment, Abstract #807. Abstracts on file at the county courthouse and at the Texas General Land Office at Austin, TX. The 1880 Cooke County, TX Census, Precinct No. 3, Supervisors District #3, E.D. 114, Page 33 lists Andy Ozment, white male age 30, married, Farmer, born [Mississippi?], father born in N.Carolina; his wife is Margret, age 30, born in [Mississippi or Missouri], her father born in Tennessee; children are Martha, age 10, Mary age 7, Margret age 4 , Robert age 7/12, all born in Texas, with their father born in Missippi (sic). This family has the same parents as the 1870 entry, with a transposed wife's name [Margaret instead of Malinda; her name was Margaret Malinda Pierce]. Andy's age should also be 36, not 30. Andy and Malinda were married in Cooke Co., TX on 14 Jan 1869. Caroline Miller
