Wrapping up
several years of genealogy and no longer having the physical or financial
capabilities of further research, I hope that I have provided some answers
or clues for anyone wishing to continue the journey. I have met many
wonderful relatives and joined the Daughters of the American Revolution, leaving
a path for my decendants. I have had many emails regarding new
connections, and some needing my assistance, which was absolutely intriguing,
and rewarding.
Grandma's great
great grandpa Peter Bozeman may have been mixed blood because nothing was known
of his mother, yet those researching his brother John say that John was native
american and with the mixture of many tribes from VA, NC, and SC, who knows what
is in my mother's line. Her father will always remain a mystery, because his mom
moved around a lot and remarried several times.. Even more breathtaking is the fact that Peter Bozeman was captured at the fall of Charleston, along with my dad's GGGGgrandfather, Captain George Little, and we can only wonder if they shared a cell, or a meal, maybe some conversation; simply awesome. Then from there in South Carolina George went into Tennessee and Kentucky, while Peter went to Alabama.
Dad's many
grandfathers from many countries came here and served their country, settling in
the wilderness, making it their new home, all leaving us a legacy to be very
proud of.
So we are a mix
of soldiers, patriots, natives, and as daddy called it, heinz 57. Many in
the old days were afraid of being anything other than white so that is what they
wrote if they could write.
Happy
Hunting!
