1 Apr 1723 - Ralph Bosman acquired 420 acres in Perquimans Precinct
adjoining Thinpen, Higgens, and Gabriel Newby.

Jul 1723 - Henry Clayton went to court to prosecute his suit against Samuel
Bozman. Samuel didn't show up. Henry was granted a continuance.

10 Aug 1723 - Abraham Sanders sold Benjamin Sanders land in Perquimans.
This land was adjacent to Ralph Boazman's land. The deed was witnessed by
Robert Wilson and Nathan Newby.

24 Aug 1723 - Caleb Taylor sold 100 acres of land near the head of the
Western Branch of the Nancymond River but in Isle of Wight County to Capt.
Joseph Merrideth. The deed was witnessed by Jacob Darden, Wm. Powell, Sarah
Murfey, and Jennet Jenkins. This land was part of a patent granted to
Anthony Branch on 20 Oct 1665 and devised by his will to Mary Price, who
afterward married Ralph Boazman, then Steven Powell, and then Robert Hooks.
Robert Hooks and Mary gave the land to Mary's son, Samuel Boazman on 29 Jan
1705/6 who then conveyed it by deed to Caleb Taylor, also on 29 Jan 1705/6.
===>Steve's Note: We are now fairly confidant that this Mary was the
daughter of Anthony Branch. Her first husband was Ralph Bozeman, Sr., her
second was Steven Powell, her third was Robert Hooks, and apparently her
fourth husband was Thomas Price. This deed indicates that her name may have
been Mary Price in 1723.. Note that one of the witnesses was Wm. Powell.
Mary's second husband was Steven Powell. The deed in 1705 indicates that
Anthony Branch left the land to Mary Powell. This would imply that she had
married Steven Powell but had not yet married Robert Hooks when Anthony
Branch died. The deed in 1705 does not name her as Mary Price.

Oct 1723 - Henry Clayton went to court to discontinue his suit against
Samuel Bozman. Henry Clayton had to pay court costs.

9 Mar 1723/4 - Isaac Wilson gave his brother, Robert Wilson 200 acres of
land adjacent to Ralph Boazman's land in Perquimans County.

3 Jun 1724 - Robert Wilson sold Benjamin Sanders 200 acres of land in
Perquimans. This land was adjacent to Ralf Boazman's line and a line between
Isaac Wilson and Benjamin Sanders' . The deed also names Rachel as the wife
of Robert Wilson. The deed was witnessed by Joseph Oats and John Williams.

3 Oct 1724 - The North Carolina will of Isaac Wilson states his uncle was
Ralph Bozeman.
===>Steve's Note: This means that Isaac's mother, Ann Wilson was the sister
of Ralph and Samuel, or that Ralph was married to a Wilson, their aunt.
Either choice is unproven at this time. However, one source names Isaac's
mother as Ann Parker, daughter of Robert and Hannah. If correct, then the
more likely scenario is that Ralph married a sister of Isaac's mother.

28 Dec 1724 - Harman Boseman died in Charles City County, Virginia. His will
names wife Mary; sons John, Harmon, and Thomas; daughters Francis and Mary.
He leaves his son, John, 100 acres of land which he (Harman) had inherited
from his father.
Steve's Note: The way in which this Boseman line is related to the Isle of
Wight County Bozeman family, is not known at this time, so I have not
included any additional items on this family in this document.

25 Feb 1725 - William Hickman (Huckman) sold 100 acres of land out of what
was originally 370 acres to Benjamin Johnson on the south side of the main
Blackwater Swamp and bounded by Henry Bosman.

Mar 1725 thru Oct 1726 - Ann Pettiver, formerly Ann Wilson, files a suit
against Ralph Bozeman. Ralph was the executor of Isaac Wilson's will.
Apparently Ann didn't agree with the manner in which Ralph was administering
the will. Ralph in turn filed a suit against Ann. This case continued
through Oct 1726 when it was finally settled by arbitration.

26 Oct 1725 - Ralph Bozeman served on a jury in Edenton, North Carolina with
Media White and ten other jurors.

Mar 1726 - Ralph Bozman showed up late for jury duty and had to explain why
he was late in order to avoid a fine.

Perquimans River in the Perquimans precinct adjoining Ralph Boozman and
Gabriel Newby.

North Carolina.

is witnessed by John Norsworthy, John Harred, Samuel Willis, SAMUEL BOZMAN,
JR., John Norsworthy, Thomas Gale, and Henry Pitt.
===>Steve's Note: This deed is important because it identifies Samuel's wife
as Mary and it is also witnessed by Samuel Bozman, Jr. Samuel, Jr. may be
the Samuel of Bladen County.
