- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. The following baptismal records are found in the book "Compendium of Mohawk Valley Families," by Marily Penrose. Unfortunately none of the baptisms have sponsors' names so currently it is conjecture on my part that David, Cobus, Frans, Susanna are all siblings in the same generation. The source for the baptisms is given by the author as "DRC," which means church records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church. The entries appear to come from the same original church book meaning that these individuals with the same last name are geographically close. The location of the church is Caughnawaga, now the Reformed Church of Fonda, in the village of Fonda, Montgomery County, N.Y. Book also contains one marriage entry for this surname: "Cosaadt, Frans m. Nancy Johnson, 6/20/1777 (DRC:161).The entries:
A. Cosaadt, Cobus And Elizabeth (Seedam): Neyltje, b. 4/4/1776, bapt. 4/24/1776 (DRC:37); Peter, b. 1777, bapt. 4/15/1777 (DRC:42); Cobus, bapt. 2/19/1786 at age 2 months (DRC:76, 77).

b. David Cosnat and Janneche (Stumerse) [assumed by author and myself to be the same two individuals as above]: Benjamin, b. 12/24/1772; bapt. 3/31/1773 (DRC:24).
