Boy! That is a crazy story! I had heard that one of our Cossart was in
Atlantic City and there was this huge and crazy property dispute and public
demonstration there, but that is all I know. However, I was not under the
impression that he came from Nebraska! There is also a problem because I
have understood that one branch went to Philadelphia and became successfull
business people, that included Mary Casat and her brother(?) who was a VP of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. He had something to do with the construction of
Pennsylvania Station in NYC and so his statue was in the station; however,
when they tore the station down a few years ago, the statue was moved to
that Railroad Museum outside Lancaster,Pa, where I saw it a few years ago.
This same Cossart name was given to a town of Cosad,South Carolinia,(near
the NC border) when the Railroad was built down through there and towns were
placed at intervals along the way and given the names of railroad
executives. However, the problem seems to be that some one or people dispute
these things saying the one or the other is a different family! Crazy! A
fellow in SC told me that Cosad,SC, was named after a Southern General in
the Civil war and not for some fool Yankee family!! And there is a dispute
over the railroad exec.: Now there is also a Cossart line that involves a
descendent who was a member of the Pennsylvania Committee of Correspondance
before the Am Rev. I don't know much on that either.. I do have a lot of
material on Henri however, but I see he is Not(?) related to the George who
settled in Ohio? As he was born in Cinci.?
