J.I. Johnson was my grandmother’s grandfather and I have visited his grave (south of Lawrenceburg, TN). In July 2011, I stood where the 45th was deployed during 2nd Manassas and plan on visiting Fredericksburg (where he was wounded) in 2012 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the battle.

Have no information on this distant relative. The surname Cozart is one of the more common of the hundred or so variants of the original surname Cossart. This person may be the same as Priestly H. Cozart, serving in Co. A of the 20th GA Infantry, and P. H. Cozart, serving in Green's GA Infantry. Would appreciate learning any info others may have on this individual.
