  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. FHL book "The Cossart Family," by Joseph A. Cossairt, 1936, p. 48: "COSSART, COSART, COSSAIRT, CASSAIRT, COSSAART, COESART, COSAT, COSSATT, KOSSART, COZAT, COZATT, CASSAT, CASSATT, COZART, ETC. Lea (or Leah) Cossart, daughter of David Cossart (8), baptised at the New York Dutch Church July 21, 1697, named for her grandmother Lea or Lydia Cossart. At the age of 19 she married John Harpending, a shoemaker of New York, March 31, 1716. She being the only child of David and Christina Cossart who married, at New York before the family left for Bound Brook, New Jersey. In 1719 DavId deeded his hew York Property to his son-in-law John Harpending and it is supposed he with the remainder of his family left soon afterwards for their new home near Bound Brook, New Jersey. Ahasuerus, the first child of John and Lea was baptised at the New York Church on January 27, 1718 and was doubtless named for his mother’s uncle Ahasuerous Van Horns, as no further record of him can be found it is presumed that he died in childhood. Their next son Henry when grown to manhood joined his grandfather David Cossarts family at Bound Brook, N.J., where on January 12, 1742 he married Mary Coon. See the account of David Cossart (8) regarding Henry Harpending, Thomas Coon, etc. These two sons are the only two children of John and Lea. that we can find any record of.when grown to manhood joined his grandfather David Cossarts family at Bound Brook, N.J., where on January 12, 1742 he married Mary Coon. See the account of David Cossart (8) regarding Henry Harpending, Thomas Coon, etc. These two sons are the only two children of John and Lea. that we can find any record. The Registers Office, New York City, Liber 30, page 340, date April 25, 1719. Deed of David Cossaert, Yeoman and wife Christina to John Harpending Jr., Cordwainer. All of the City of New York; for 300 pounds, house and ground on Prince Street; 2 rods 8 feet 3 inches in front, 2 rods 3 feet in rear; 8 rods 7 feet long on both sides. Recorded for John Harpending Jr., May 8, 1723. This was David Cossart’s home property on Princes Street, before he left New York City for Bound Brook, New Jersey. The Raritan Church records show that on May 27, 1744, Henry and Mary Harpending have a daughter Lea. baptized at the church. The daughter Lea was doubtless named for its grandmother, Lea. Cossart who had died prior to June 10, 1736 the date on which her father David Cossart made his will. On March 9, 1746 Henry and Mary again appear at Raritan to have a daughter Catherine baptised Mary Coon was probably a daughter of Thomas Coon Sr., of Bound Brook and if so she had a brother Thomas Coon Jr., whose daughter Catherine became the wife of Anthony Cossart or Cosad of Bernards Township born 1740 died 1790. We find no further trace of Henry and Mary (Coon) Harpending. A Peter Harpending of Somerset County served in the Revolutionary War - See “Jerseymen in the Revolution” by W.S. Strykor. While I find no record of his baptism yet I think it probable that he was a son of Henry and Mary of Bound Brook, New Jersey. CHILDREN: 160. i. Ahaserus Harpending, baptised January 27, 1718. 161. ii. Hendrick Harpending; mentioned in this grandfather's will. Married January 12, 1742 to Mary Coons at Bound Brook, N.J."
