Notes for PETER GRAY COZORT:
Peter lived above the present day Roscoe Goode home before moving
across Low Gap to near Shlburn Brooks home. Peter was an overly
large man about 6'8", he was also a very gruff man. When
he was saved and needed to be Baptised, there wasnt enough water
in Saulsville to baptise him, so the Preacher went in search of
a water hole deep enough, Finally settled on doing the deed in
Ravencliffe, upon entering the water and walking from side to
side and around trying to find a deep enough spot, someon hollered
from the shore to "turn his head upstream and let the water
just run over him. (Shorty Shumate related this tale.)
