Joris (or George Cossart) eldest son of David (9), baptised at New York Dutch Church November 19, 1699. Named for his grandfather Joris Van Horne. As a young man he learned the bricklayers trade and the records seem to indicate that he followed this trade during his lifetime. At the age of 31, September 16, 1730 he married Elizabeth Hoaglandt baptised at New York November 20, 1706. She being the daughter of Johannes Hoaglandt baptised 1666 and his second wife Jannetie Andries or Andrews. They had another daughter Catherine baptised October 4, 1713 who about 1735 married Johannes Cossart son of Anthony (9), thus it will be seen that George and Johannes Cossart were both cousins and brothers-in-law, they had a brother-in-law Adrian Hoaglandt who also settled in Bridgewater Township in the vicinity of Bound Brook and Raritan, New Jersey. Johannes Hoaglandt, the father of these children lived at New York then in Brooklyn and then on Staten Island and it is supposed that he later removed to Somerset County, New Jersey.
The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 1893, page 53 states that George Cossart soon after his marriage sailed for Europe on a ship which was lost at sea and was never heard of afterwards, but New York show that if he was lost at sea as stated it did not occur for at least 19 years after his marriage. The will of his father David Cossart (9) dated 1736 probated 1740 shows that George was given the homestead in New Jersey.
Note:See family tradition on page 11.
October 29, 1733 George and Elizabeth Cossart appear at the Raritan Dutch Church to have their daughter jannete baptised - the grandmother Christina Cossart also appears as witness. July 25, 1736 George's sister Susanna Cossart and her husband Richard Conine appear at this church to have their son Johannes baptised. George and Elizabeth Cossart appear as witnesses at this baptism. This being the last New Jersey record that we can find bearing George's name. Now we will turn to the New York Records. Collections of the New York Historical Society, Volume 18 (1885), in the list of Freemen of the City of New York, page 152 date May 7, 1745 appears the name of George Coesaart, bricklayer. The name of all other Freemen of the city also appear on this list. The records of the New York Dutch Church show that on January 11, 1749 joris Kosaart and wife Elisabeth Hoogeland appear as witness to the baptism of a child. This being the last record that can be found bearing the name of George Cossart (150).
All available records seem to indicate that George at about the age of 20 must have accompanied his parents to the Raritan - Bound Brook settlement in New Jersey, where some ten years later he married Elizabeth Hoaglandt and they remain in the settlement until after his father's death which it is thought occured the later part of 1739. Then some time prior to May 7, 1745 he must have returned to New York City where he is listed as a bricklayer that year and where four years later his name appears on the records of the New York Dutch Church, and the fact that no later record of him can be found indicates that he must have left New York City on his fatal journey to Europe not far from 1750. Three years later (1753) his daughter and only child was married to William Weaver, his widow Elizabeth Hoagland, died in 1792 aged 86 years. See the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 47, pp. 48-60 "The Weaver Family Genealogy". His child Jannetje of Jane (162) baptised October 29, 1733 at Raritan, New Jersey, died September 1, 1817.
We find the following record in "The Hoagland Family in America", page 29:
15. Elizabeth, daughter of Johannes Hoogelandt was baptised in New York City November 20, 1706. Adrian Hoochlandt and Elizabeth Hoochlandt, widow, being witnesses. They were here uncle and grandmother. She was married by license to Joris Cousaar on September 16, 1730, the license being dated two days previous. They had one daughter, Jane, who married William Weaver. William and Jane Weaver had a daughter Elizabeth, who married John Greenwood. She (Elizabeth) died March 27, 1861, aged 92 years at the home of her nephew, Clark Greenwood.
"Elizabeth would be 24 when she married and Cousaar would be 31, George Coesart was a "freeman" in 1745; son of David Coesart (9), of Somerset County, New Jersey, who died in 1740. George was an older son, but not an Executor. David's widow was to have use of the estate during her lifetime."
George Cossart and his wife Elizabeth Hoeglandt had:
