Miles Cowart, youngest son of Capt. William B. Cowart (Vol. 1), was born in Appling County, August 9, 1824, and was brought by his parents in his childhood to Lowndes County where he grew to manhood. He was married in 1850 to Miss Susan Mathis, youngest daughter of John Mathis (Vol. 1). She was born in Lowndes County, Dec. 22, 1833. and was the last surviving one of the children of her parents. at her death June 29, 1919. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Cowart were:

1. John W.b. 1851, m. Sarah A. Bradford, dau of Jacob A.
2. Frances A.b. 1854, m. Emmett Davis.
3. Eliza J.b. 1856. m. Henry B. Tucker.
4. Mary Rebeccab. 1858, m. James J. Sutton.
5. Jemima V.b. 1860, m. Henry W. Avera.
6. Henry M.b. 1862, m.,Sarah Parrish.

8. Sarah Tallulab. 1867, m. M. A. Chitty.
9. Nancy R.b. 1870, m. Albert S. Shaw.

Soon after marriage Mr. Cowart settled near his father-in-law's home on the then Berrien-Lowndes County line, where he lived until 1869. He then moved to where Liberty Church is now located, known as the old Wm. Tison place in Berrien County; but in 1875 he bought the old D. P. Luke place three miles east of Nashville. In his latter years he sold that out and moved again, this time to a farm three miles southeast of Adel (territory cut into Cook County, 1918.) where he lived and farmed until his death July 28, 1898. He and his wife were buried in the Adel cemetery.
Mr. Cowart was a private in Capt. John J. Johnson's militia company in the Indian War in 1840. He was exempt from military service in the Confederate Army but in 1864, the call went out for old men and beardless youth to serve in the Georgia militia to resist Sherman's invasion, and Mr. Cowart volunteered as a private in the 1st Volunteer Regiment, Georgia Militia, made up of Berrien County men. He served until the close of the war, and was granted a pension for his service in his latter years.
