He seems to have been a life long member of the Presbyterian Church and did marry into one of the englich or Scottish Presbyterian families of the area. The only two records found to establish the fact that jacob had at one time been a resident of the Succasunny Plains near the Black River is found in the history of the First Presbyterian Church of Morristown 1742 to 1891. On page 1 appears the marriage record April 12, 1745 Eliphalet Lewis and Elizabeth Cusat of Black River, and on page 6, appears the baptismal record August 28, 1743 of Lea, daughter of Jacob cusat of Succasunny. Elizabeth was Jacob s eldest daughter, while Lea was the youngest. The Succasunny Presbyterian Church had not at this time been organizaed and it is evident that Jacob must have attended the Morristown Church at this period. He doubtless had other children than the eight mentioned in his will, but if so, they must have died in childhood and no record of them can now be found. Jacob s will, which is here given, was probated at Perth Amboy but is now on file in Trenton, NJ. When he went to what is now Roxbury Township in western Morris County is not known but, his will shows that some time after 1745, he had returned to the scenes of his childhood in Bridgewater Township, Somerset, NJ, where we find him a resident and land owner at the time of his death in 1772. He is buried in the Old Presbyterian Church yard, near the corner of East Main Street and East Street at bound rook, Somerset, NJ. A broken sandstone slab erected by his sons mark his grave. His three oldest sons, Jacob, Samuel and Job, became the fathers of practically all theat part of the family in America and those in foreign lands who now use the name Cozad, while his youngest son Anthony is the father of those using the names of Cosad and Casad.
