Linneaus Cyrus Alexander - Sergeant |
At the age of 17, he enlisted early in 1864 in what was known as the Texas Frontier regiment. His official record says McCord's Frontier Regiment. I am told that the 1st Cavalry was the predecessor to this unit. McCord's was also known as the 46th Texas Cavalry. His command was ordered south and did duty to the mouth of the Brazos river until the close of the war. He was made sergeant major of his regiment and often acted as adjutant. He was the youngest of 7 brothers who fought for the CSA. Three of those brothers died during the war - one from illness contracted during the war and two from wounds.

Gilbert Cozart - Private |
Gilbert was a nephew of Thornton E. Cozart; both were from Madison Co., TN. Gilbert apparently served in the 1st Texas Cavalry Battalion, and also the 32nd Texas (Crump's BTLN) Cavalry, and his uncle's 15th Texas Cavalry. Gilbert survived the War and returned to claim and manage family land in Madison Co. His brother Newton served in Co. I of the 6th Tennessee (CSA)Infantry and may have been K.I.A. in 1864; his brother Jasper apparently started out in the CSA unit Brooks' Battalion, but switched to the Union's 6th TN Cavalry. Another brother James MAY be the James Cozart/Cozort/Chozart who was also in the 1st Texas Cav BTLN and the 15th Texas Cavalry.

James Cozart - Private |
James Cozart/Cozort/Chozart was in Cos. D and C of the 1st Texas Cavalry Battalion and the 15th Texas Cavalry. His brother Gilbert shared two of those units; his uncle Thornton E. was in the 15th Cav. If this James is indeed Gilbert's brother, he was from Madison Co., TN and may have moved to Texas not long before the War broke out. His name may have been Joshua James. He survived the war. At one point, he may have been moved into an Engineer's company. His brother Jasper (aka Jasper Joseph?) started out in the CSA but switched to a Union unit in Tennessee.
