1800 census of Peter with 4 males and 4
females in the house near a possible brother Jesse, near Lide and
Fountain. In the past there was a Mary Bozeman Fountain; so the
families remain close. Note the many names here who appear in the Alabama
census! ~if Sarah Bozeman had a girl in 1787, she could be married - we do not
know how many children were actually born to this
family.
In 1796 Peter Bozeman acquired the estate of a
Zebulan Chance. Reads like it is for a debt owed. It was for 200
acres.
research done by Jimmy Ray Bozeman in
2005.
In 1809 a Jesse Bozeman buys 200 acres of land
from Jonathan Wright. Now if the tombstone in Montgomery belongs to Peters son
Jesse than this cannot be him because he (Peters son) was born in 1793 and would
have only been 17 at the time.
In 1812 Peter sells some land to Thomas Mason. did
a daughter marry a Mason?
In 1816 Peter buys land from Mary Rowell (maybe
Powell).
In 1818 Peter sells land to James
Erwin.
In 1820 Peter sells land to Williams Side (Lide).
did a daughter marry Lide?
In 1824 Peter wills land to Medys children Peter,
Jesse and Julian a granddaughter. Ellenor Joiner raised Meedys' orphaned boys in
Alabama, following her father and family.
In 1826 It had a survey map of 231 acres belonging
to Peter.
Now on the Index reel under the name Bozeman it
shows an 1826 Land Division Plat record and the names associated
with it are James, Peter, John and Jesse.
We also know that they were all still in SC in
1826, because KC found a land survey online in the SC
archives.
Could not find any records of deeds for selling
off all their land. From what I can tell Peter died in
1828
Peter wrote letters from Montgomery in 1828 to the
War Department about being an Invalid and asking about his pension all recorded
in the Montgomery Probate office.
Need to see if there are any documents found on
this family between 1829 and 1838 in Montgomery,
Alabama.
Major Benjamin Lewis family followed ...Mason Company descendants also followed.
Many other descendants of Peter's children have
been researching for many years and have joined the DAR and SAR thanks to
Allison, daughter of Jimmy Ray, who both worked long before us to prove the
facts.
