Bozeman History
Elizabeth's mother was Ruby Gibson, a daughter of Ethel Mae Bozeman. Ethel's parents were Alice Lorena Stephens and John Thomas Bozeman of Dublin. Ethel's siblings were Lorena and Rollie Bozeman.
Another daughter of Ethel Mae was Minnie Lee Gibson, who's granddaughter is applying to the DAR based on our information of this lineage
John's parents were Nancy Jane Anderson and Peter Edward Bozeman. Peter had served in the Shelby County Reserve during the Civil War. Peter's parents were Martha Hill and William Henry Bozeman of Darlington South Carolina.
Elizabeth organized the gathering at Hill's Chapel in 2007 where many Bozeman and Gibson descendants ventured into the woods way back behind the church to view the tombstone of Peter Edward Bozeman. Peter's son John Thomas was buried in front of the church in a public cemetery near his daughter Ethel Mae.
Elizabeth is currently researching the Archives in Montgomery for new information on this family tree. Ethel's daughter Minnie Lee Gibson married Herman Money and named a child Betty Joyce who once contacted me but we have since lost touch.
William Henry died by 1848 according to his estate papers, and his brother Jesse was the Administrator. Jesse paid William's son John Thomas $247.00 for his share of the estate.
Jesse also filed for a Writ of Dower for the widow Martha.
When Peter died, in 1829, Jesse filed for the estate sale and Wiliam Henry was listed on those documents. Then again in 1838, apparently when Sarah died, Jesse filed to sell off Peter's land, and William was once again listed as an heir.
Sarah and Peter's chldren were Meady, Peter E., Jesse M. , William Henry and Lucy. Meady is not listed as an heir in the estate because he died about 1827. Perhaps he was ill during the journey from Darlington to Montgomery, we just do not know but his son was Captain Peter Henry Bozeman in the Mississippi Infantry of the Confederates. Peter's son Peter E. Bozeman married Gilly Goodson in Alabama and moved to Louisiana and is now being researched by Sharon Johnson. Sarah Brown married Peter Bozeman in December 1786 in the Cheraws District of Darlington County, South Carolina, as written by one of their neighbors, Reverend Evan Pugh in his "Diaries".
Peter had served in the American Revolution, had several records of payment, mentioned in the South Carolina Militia book, listed on the SC Roster with his father Mordecai, and others like John, Paul. Ralph, who may be brothers of Peter All likely from Bladen County North Carolina which was just across the river from where they received their Land Grants. The SC Archives indicate that Peter's land was surveyed in June 1826 , possibly to sell, so he could begin his journey to Alabama.
