JACOB C. COZATT was born May 22, 1817, near Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., Ky.,
in 1817, in 1837 he removed to Vermillion County, Ill., and in 1841
returned to Kentucky, locating eight and one-half miles west of Danville,
on the Lebanon Turnpike, Boyle County, where he has since resided.  His
father, Jacob Cozatt, was born September 11, 1773, in Pennsylvania or New
Jersey; removed in childhood with his parents to Kentucky, and with Barton
W. Stone, Humphrey Marshall and others, withdrew from the Presbyterian
Church and entered the old Christian Church, of which he became minister.
He was a hatter and farmer in Mercer County, and died September 10, 1822.
His father was killed by Indians at Boone's Station.  His offspring were
Francis, David, Jacob, Peter, Henry and Albert (twins).  Jacob was married
in 1799 to Margaret, daughter of Henry Comingore, of Mercer County (born
March 15, 1783, died June 2, 1842), and from their union spring sprang
Peter, Daniel, Elisha, Rachael (Terhune), Mary (Randolph), Henry, David,
Ann (Davis), Jacob C., John and Abraham.  September 26, 1837, Jacob C.
Cozatt was married to Miss Emily, daughter of Henry and Jemima (Cleland)
May, of Mercer County (born December 6, 1815), and to them have been born
Margaret (Caldwell); Jemima (Sinkhorn), Mary (Bower), Charlotte L., Henry
C., William T., Susan (deceased), and John A.  In youth Jacob C. had but
limited opportunities for procuring an education, such as were afforded by
the old field school-house, having a long hole cut in the building to admit
the light; puncheon floor, a very large chimney, and oiled paper used for
the window instead of glass.  The school was disciplined on the basis of
"no lickin' no larnin'" system surpassed Bedlam for racket, as many yet
living can testify.  By application in after years he has become somewhat
conversant with standard and current literature.  He was employed as deputy
assessor of Boyle County for four years.  He is now farming, owning 130
acres of land in a good estate of cultivation.  He is a member of the
Christian Church, also of the Masonic fraternity, and is a Prohibitionist.
Since the above was placed in type, the melancholy intelligence has been
received that Mr. Cozatt died October 27, 1886.  He was without a known
enemy.
