George Allen to Madison Cozart Registered April 16, 1842 Madison County Deed Book 8; pages 222 In 1871 this area became Crockett County Civil District 3. George Allen, husband of Malinda Cozart, bought 100 acres of a 640-acre tract near Cypress Creek. The original grant was to Frederick W. Huling of Mississippi. In December 1838 George sold 50 acres to his brother-in-law, Madison Cozart. Then on April 12, 1842, he sold the other 50 acres to Madison. The deed was registered in Madison County on April 16, 1842. Neighboring tracts were owned by William Davis Cozart, James Boals, and Kinchen Hathaway — all relatives. This property was in Madison County, 18th Civil District, near the waters of Cypress Creek. We know the civil district from the 1865 deed, Cozart to Spraggins, when William Davis Cozart's sons sold their tract. In 1871 this area became Crockett County, Civil District 3. Gadsden was the big town of the district. A copy of the 1842 Allen to Cozart deed has been misplaced, was not available to Denise Cozart to be transcribed.
