COWSERT: August 8, 2005 Family information compiled by Kathleen Cowsert Wilson. Information gathered from family members, especially from Juanita Vernelle Cowsert Smith and Mary Killgore Manire. Also much information from The West Texas Collection at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas. COWSERT name comes from the word COUSER, which means shoe-er of horses. Some of the spellings are: COWSERT, COUSERT, COUSER, COUSAR, COUSART, COZAD, COWSER, COSSAT, COSSART, COWZEY, COWSARS, etc. Some genealogist insist that the Cowserts have a French origin. They were protestants who were forced to flee their homeland when the Catholics went into power. They went to Belgium and Holland and then to the United States. Others feel that the Cowserts are from Scotland and then Ireland. They agree they are Presbyterians who settled in Pennsylvania, then Virginia, and then South Carolina. The 1790 census of South Carolina shows COWSARS. Many Cowsert, Cousart, Cowsar graves can be found in the Waxhaw Cemetery near Waxhaw, South Carolina. One of the stones marks the grave of James Cousar, who died in 1801 in his 28th year. He was born in Ireland. His brother David Cousar is also buried in this cemetery and his stone said he was born in Armagh County Ireland and he died at age 39 in 1807. Andrew Cowsert may have come from this family. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1A ANDREW COWSERT b. 1767 d. April 15, 1826 (or April 16, 1824 Williamson County Tennessee). Buried "old brick church cemetery" near old Jackson College in Maury County, Tenn. Inscription on his stone has about shaled away. m. JANE ? (maybe CUNNINGHAM) b. 1780 York County South Carolina d. 1833 (1831 ?) Williamson County, Tenn. Andrew was a Presbyterian. He bought land in Lancaster County, South Carolina in 1791. Andrew COUSAR purchased land from the state on South Carolina in 1797. He went from North Carolina? (may should by South Carolina) to Tenn. in 1797. Andrew sold his land in South Carolina and bought land in Maury Co., Tenn. in 1799. Little information available concerning this family before they left South Carolina. He is found in the census records of Davidson County (later Williamson County Tenn.). In Williamson County Tenn., Andrew settled between Franklin and the first knob south of Major Porter's place. He was a Veteran of The War of 1812, Maury Co., Tenn. Andrew served as farrier to Capt. Archibald McKinney's Company from Sept. 24, 1813 to May 1814. On Feb. 1820 Andrew COWSER sold to Kinchen Sparkman, a Negro woman, Nancy, 23 years old, and her child Hannah, 2 years old for $750. Andrew lived in the Waxhaw Valley. When Sherman made his famous march to the sea, killing and burning everything in sight during the Civil War, he marched thru the Waxhaw Valley. Many records were destroyed. Andrew lived out his life on his farm in Tenn. His Will settled October 1826 in Williamson County, Tenn. In his Will, his land was to be divided in thirds. His wife Jane received the middle lot. His son James of Williamson Co., Tenn. received the North end. His son John of Missouri received the South end. His wife, Jane, willed the family farm to her four children when she died in 1833. 4 Children: James, John, Mary (Polly), Agatha 1b MARY C. COWSERT (POLLY) (MARY CATHERINE COWSERT) b. Jan. 26, 1796 Lancaster Co., South Carolina d. Aug. 11, 1851 (1874?) (Aug. 14, 1951?) in Ellis Co., Texas. buried Shiloh-Cumberland Cemetery, Ovilla, Texas in Ellis Co. m. JAMES ERWIN PATTON OCT. 15, 1817 in Williamson Co., Tenn. b. April 5, 1799 Buncomb Co., North Carolina d. August 8, 1874 Ellis County, Texas JAMES ERWIN (ERVIN?) PATTON m(2) MARY SNEED (SNEAD?) Dec. 19, 1854 in Navarro Co. (Ellis County?), Texas m(3) MARY E. JOHNSON Nov. 20, 1873 <1> *** See PATTON <4> *** It is believed that James is a direct but distant descendant of "the Covenanter martyr, MATHEW PATOUN of Newmilns, Scotland who was executed in the Glasgow public square in 1666". Also of interest is this information found in History of Ellis County (Texas), pages 74 & 123: "James E. (Erwin) Patton, a Missourian, a relative of a numerous family in that state, several of whom were ministers of some note. He was a man of honesty and integrity; and so unexpecting that he suffered considerable loss financially, believing others to be as honest as himself; devoted to his church, though not a sectarian; his hand ever open to the wants of suffering humanity; giving of his means to the institutions of the church and the cause of Christianity; a man of limited education, but a close observer and a reader and thinker, so that he was tolerably well posted on church and governmental affairs. He engaged in locating and surveying land, which he followed up to near the close of his earthly career. Though he had little education in the science of surveying, yet he manifested a skill in that science far above the average surveyor taught in the schools and in advance of the science of his day for brevity and accuracy. I have assisted him in that work and in five minutes after the survey was made with pencil and paper on his compass he would make a calculation and announce the number of acres regardless of the number of corners and courses, which to have solved such problems by the rules of surveying would have taken an hour or two. I have several times noted down the field notes, took them home, and made the calculation by the rules of surveying to test the accuracy of his method and so far as the number of acres was concerned found him correct. He lived to an advanced age, and was gathered to his fathers respected and admired by all who knew him for his honesty and Christian deportment."..."He was employed to locate the Ellis county school lands, and the county is much indebted t him for the judgement shown in the location of those lands. The Colonel (referring to James Patton) was a tall angular man and somewhat eccentric. It is told of him that the lack of chain or chain-carriers was no obstacle to him; he would take a piece of raw-hide, hobble his feet together the length of a yard apart, and thus equipped perform the duties of surveyor and chain-carriers, and his work usually came out right. He had several grandsons, one of whom, W.T. PATTON, was one of the first justices of the peace elected in Ellis County." Mary Cowsert Patton lived in Missouri 1831? 1833? probably in Ray County Missouri. She moved to Ellis Co., Texas in 1844. Spelling of name in list of marriages of Williamson County was COWSART. All children are Mary Cowsert Patton & James Patton's. 10 Children: Sarah, Andrew, William, John, Catherine, Margaret, Samuel, Mary, James, Daniel 1c SARAH PATTON b. 1818 Bedford County Tennessee d.

Martha Jane was the daughter of MATTHEW PATTON and MARGARET CUNNINGHAM. Jane had a brother and a cousin who decided to move. A MARY POLLY COWSERT who had married JAMES ERWIN PATTON was also moving. In 1831-1832 John F. sold the part of the family farm he had inherited when his mother died, to his brother James. They then moved to Richmond, Ray Co., Missouri where they bought a farm 6 miles North of Richmond. When John F. died he left Jane a widow at age 29, with 7 small children. She also lost her son John T. the same year. Their 7th child was born after John F. died. It is understandable Jane would marry again two years later. She signed the custody of her children over to her brother, JAMES THOMAS PATTON. Her second husband LEROY P. FOWLER m. Sept. 21, 1837 Ray Co., Missouri.

He traded his land for 2 mules, 10 lbs. of corn meal and 2 lbs. of salt and started back to Missouri. He arrived just in time to join the 49ers going to the gold rush in Calif. He filed for bounty land in Mendocino County, California on May 15, 1860. He was listed twice in the 1850 California Census, once in Jamestown, Tuolumne County as a miner on April 12, 1850 and also in Kelsey Vic'y, El Dorado, California Nov. 27, 1850. His brother Andrew B. Cowsert was living with him, both were listed as miners with $2.00 listed as their daily product. After prospecting for gold awhile, he settled down in a valley near Ukiah, Calif. and began farming. He married Catherine in 1865. She went to California, with her family, by boat from New York, thru the Isthmus of Panama and then to San Francisco. In the Fall of 1882, David came to Kimble Co., Texas. He purchased land on the North Llano River about 12 miles West of Junction, Texas.

Feb. 17, 1876 in Ray Co., Missouri J.F. Cowsert, Ray Co., Missouri Atlas 1877 lived at Tinney's Grove, listed as being born in Ray Co., Missouri in 1836. John was raised by JAMES THOMAS PATTON, his mothers brother after his father died (before his birth). John was a farmer, rancher, he was a Methodist. A year after their youngest child was born, Rebecca died of pneumonia. Rebecca was the daughter of NATHAN SCOOLER and ANN ROBINSON. According to Rebecca Bradshaw, who wrote out some of her memoirs of a trip back to Missouri with her grandfather, John F., all of the relatives who were in the community began to divide the children among themselves trying to help John F. He, though he appreciated their concern and their help, found all of the children very unhappy being separated from him and their family. He made the decision to join his brother, David Pinkney Cowsert, with whom he had kept in touch since he bought land in Texas. Of course, his relatives were horrified. Just the same they accepted his decision and began preparing for the trip by making clothes and coats for the children. The oldest son, David Alonzo, was now 20 years old and the youngest child, Martha Ann was 8 years old. When they arrived in Kimble County Texas in 1883, he bought some land on the North Llano River and built a log cabin on the banks of the river to live in until he could build a house. The log cabin still stands. The ranch is now owned by Sadie Burt (late 1980's). You cross part of it when going to Millard Bennett's ranch when you cross the river. John was a member of the Board of Stewards of Junction Methodist Church. John served as commissioner of Precinct 2, Kimble County Texas 1888, 1890, 1892. At the time of his death, John was chairman of the board of the Copperas Church. Members of John F. and David P. families were active in this church and its establishment. Before the church was built, the members met either in the school building or under a brush arbor. John and Rebecca had 7 Children: Eudora Adalade, David Alonzo, Robert Nathan, Edward Jesse, Ada Freelin, Rosabelle Jane, and Martha Ann 1d EUDORA ADALADE COWSERT b. Jan. 30 1862 Ray Co., Missouri d.

Oct. 26, 1955 in San Antonio, Texas. Buried Copperas Cemetery Melvina was daughter of JOHN and AMANDA WILLIAMSON COFFMAN both from Ohio. In 1885 she was a member of Junction Methodist Church. David came to Kimble County, Texas with his family in 1883. He had left his sweetheart, Melvina, back in Missouri. As soon as the family was settled in Texas, he went back to Missouri to marry her. From 1885 to 1898 David worked on ranches in Kimble County. In 1898 he bought land on the North Llano river from his cousin Mod Cowsert. On this land is Potter's Spring. Crops of corn, cane, sweet potatoes and tomatos were produced from an irrigation ditch seven miles long. They leased the farm and moved to San Angelo, Texas in 1905. They lived in San Angelo from 1905 to 1910. They had moved to San Angelo in Tom Green County Texas to send the children to San Angelo Training School. David was listed as a farmer in the San Angelo city directory. They returned to Junction about 1910-1911. David bought a home from Dr. Stone when they came back to Junction. The home was at the corner of 11th and College streets. In 1980 this house was owned by MRS. LEONARD COWSERT (BERTHA LUCKE), and she kept it in beautiful condition. David was killed in a hunting accident, as he crawled through a wire fence in April of 1912. Melvina eventually moved to San Antonio, Texas with her three younger children. She died in the home of her daughter, IDA COWSERT LOVELESS. 8 Children: Cora, Orvill, John Dewitt, Marvin, Leonard, Ida Rebecca, Charles, and Bessie Mae 1e CORA A.
