I have this John Cozby recorded in 96th dist. in 1779 as John Cozby, Jr. He was born in Amherst Va., was a blacksmith and moved with brother Robert b. 1755 to Alabama.
I have their parents as John Cozby b. abt. 1713 d. 1793, and Elizabeth Trimble b. abt. 1717 who moved to 96th dist. in S. Carolina before the Rev. War. John Cozby and Elizabeth Trimble's other two children were Dr. James C. Cozby b. 1753 who married Isabella Woods and Elizabeth Cozby b. 1741 who married William Casteel. I am descended from Dr. James C. Cozby. I will be glad to share info on our line.

One of my wife's ancestors was a John Cozby who may be your ancestor. Here is some information I have about him and his descendants.

Robert Cozby was born about 1755 in Virginia and died 7 October 1828 at the residence of his son in Triana, Madison Co., Alabama. He was married about 1782. The name of his wife is unknown. He was buried 8 October 1828 at Triana burial ground where his aged wife had been interred. He volunteered for military service in the Revolutionary War and served as a Private in the South Carolina Militia in Captain Thomas Langdon's Company under General Williamson. He was a sergeant in the First Regiment and was shot through the thigh in a skirmish with Tories on 22 November 1775 and lost the use of his leg. Because of his disability, he applied for a pension in Madison Co., 16 November 1818, Pension S 24966. Robert received a pension while a resident of Lowndes Co., Alabama in 1821. His son William was appointed agent to receive payments for his father. He moved from Virginia to South Carolina in 1783, to Elbert Co., Georgia in 1784, to Knox Co., Tennessee and Blount Co., Tennessee in 1793, then back to Knox Co. and Bledsoe Co., Tennessee.

Bob:

I am also a descendant of James Cozby and Isabella Woods. Any information you have and would be willing to share would be appreciated. I have very little information on James & Isabelle.

Would you have any information on the ancestors of John Cozby married to Elizabeth Trimble? That is as far as my research has gotten.

I assume that John Cozby is not related to the other Cosbys from England, to which most people, other than you, trace James Cozby (Isabella Woods). Since James Cozby started two Presbyterian churches I have serious doubts about him being from the Cosby branch. Further my assumption is that he is Scots and not English leading me to assume he may be a Crosby.

I am descended from Josiah Crawford Cozby's son George S. Cozby. The furthest back I have been able to trace the Cozby line is the marriage of John Cozby and Elizabeth Trimble. However there are not many sources for either of them. Any addition information would be appreciated.

Thanks

From what I have found they may have both come from Ireland. Of course I can't access the information until I upgrade to World version. If my research is correct I am descended from Robert then John then Josiah. I can not find the name of Robert's wife though. From what I understand he married a second wife, Temperance, but this is not John's mother. Any help would be appreciated!
