Peter Bozeman (son of Mordecai Bozeman and unknown) was born Abt. 1755 in Bladen NC, and died 1829 in Rev War Patriot Darlington SC in 1790, 1800, 1810, then Alabama in 1830 - http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~kc90853/Photos/PeterBozemanCaptured1779.bmp - paid for his Service in 1785 - in Alabama 1828 he wrote letters to the Revolutionary Office. He married Sarah on 28 Dec 1786 in Darlington South Carolina.
Notes for Peter Bozeman: Some of this property was listed in Peter Bozeman's estate when he died and again in William Henry Bozeman's estate when he died.
Known by some as the Carter-Stokes Cemetery but indicated on the Montgomery County map as "Stokes Cemetery," it dates back to before the Civil War but has been abandoned and neglected for nearly half a century. It is located off the Mobile Highway (US 31) on McLean Road. Pine trees on a knoll next to a large cattle pond on the William S. Newell property obscures this cemetery from view. The first owner of the property was probably Benjamin Lewis born 1772 from South Carolina who purchased it from the state in 1822. Thomas Randolph Carter (1820-1892) later purchased the property and subsequently sold it in 1859 to Mathew C. Stokes. This land sale consisted of 179 acres with "one acre to be reserved for burying purposes." Years later the cemetery property was sold to the McLean - Stewart families then to the Farm Bureau and is now owned by the Newell Construction Company. Originally, mostly Carter and Bozeman families used the cemetery. The oldest person found by year of birth with a stone is that of Jesse Bozeman born 28 January 1793. His gravestone has been broken by a tree, as are many others stones and some dates are obliterated or nearly obliterated. He was the father-in-law of Thomas R. Carter who is buried there. There are many sunken places indicating burials probably without gravestones. The tallest monument and oldest not yet toppled is to the sacred memory of John W., son of Thomas R. and Lacy J. Carter, October 18, 1848 who died at age four years, three months and eight days. The few later year burials seem to be around the base of the knoll and probably ceased around 1969 with the burial of Herbert York, 1 November 1969 a World II veteran. There is no record of any attempt over the years to preserve this cemetery. A grandson of the Carter's, John Butler Calloway (1874-1958) is said to have kept up the cemetery as long as he was able. A simple fence to keep the cattle out would have helped preserve the graves. Now the years, with no one to care have taken its toll. This beautiful site rising from flatlands to a pine knoll, with a pond lapping along its edges needs care. This historical cemetery needs restoration and preservation to make it a place of reverence honoring past generations. Descendants and all those interested in the preservation of their proud heritage are asked to help. (Copied from the Montgomery County Heritage Book by permission of Bearden, Jr)After special permission from the Newell family the survey was undertaken. The cemetery located on a knoll of pine trees, it was completely over grown with brambles. Trees had fallen and it was hard to find the older graves that were covered with debris. It was obvious that burials of recent dates were on the edges of this cemetery which once was said to have been enclosed by an iron pickett fence.

This 1850 census of this district has several familiar names on it and Jarret was the name of one of Jesse Bozeman's sons.
Also there is an elder Abner McGehee listed, and our family must have been very close to the McGehee families, therefore having that little store nearby called the McGehee Switch.
I just wonder if HARRIET is connected to our family or to Jesse's wife
PLUS I see Henry Carter, the brother of Thomas Randolph Carter who was married to Lacy Bozeman.
I still think Peter Bozeman is buried at Hope Hull, just wish we could find out where.
My late husband's Aunt Sissy knew the Calloways down there too so remind me to check with her soon to get more stories from her. In fact it was her son who wrote the article above about the Stokes Carter Cemetery in the Alabama Preservation webpage

just search by county and type in Montgomery
And the beat goes on.................
