Bozeman History


Wayne Leon Bozeman has been researching the Bozeman lineage for many years; he and his wife Sue Carol spending many hours researching the Archives at Montgomery Alabama gathering up a large stack of documents relating to his Bozeman ancestors. His parents are Wanda Burel Lash and D Leon Bozeman,Jr., the son of D Leon Bozeman and Zelena Kelly.

D Leon's parents were John Thomas Bozeman born 1866 and and Sarah Edwards who married in 1888 Fort Deposit Alabama

John and Sarah owned the store called McGeHee Switch at Hope Hull

Sarah and John's children were William Wylie, Ethel Pearl, Annie Bell, Sallie Mae, Walter Coy, Jesse Graves, D Leon, John Luther, and Octo Claude.

Jesse Graves Bozeman married Lorraine Duncan and had Norman Richard Bozeman. Walter Coy married Ruby Slauson and had Richard Wallace Bozeman who also named a son Richard, and he is also researching this lineage.

John was the son of Meedy G Bozeman and Rebecca Brewer who had married in 1855 Montgomery.

She was widowed with two children according to the documents Wayne found.

They also had Susan, Henry, Phillip Brewer Bozeman, Martha, Jesse, Meady.

The young Meady married Belle D. Gregg and had Albert Bozeman in 1878

The elder Meedy G was the son of William Henry Bozeman and Martha HIll who had migrated into Montgomery Alabama from Darlington South Carolina, both with fathers who had served in the American Revolution.

William Henry was the son of Peter Bozeman.

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.
