In January 2008 the DAR has finally listed Peter Bozeman. Several should be establishing their memberships now based on his records, including Jimmy Ray and Hazel :)

Mordecai Bozeman born 1735 NC, while there were only a few colonies on the coast, while it was still Indian Nation and his son Peter born 1758 served in the American Revolution. Documents show that both were paid 4 pounds for their service. Nothing more is found on Mordecai but his son Peter moved his family to Montgomery Alabama about 1826 - 1827. His son William Henry is my connection.
However, we must note that Peter's second son was named Jesse in 1793. There was another Jesse in the Revolutionary War who lived by Peter on the 1800 Darlington Census so there is a strong possibility they were brothers. Or that Mordecai went by another name, middle name, and could have been there. Peter's first son was named Meade so that might have some connection to his mother or his mother in law - perhaps their maiden names....
William and Martha Hill ( daughter of John Hill of South Carolina) had Peter Edward Bozeman who married Nancy Jane Anderson ( daughter of Lavinia Jane Sellers, who's mother was Lavinia Brack) and had John Thomas - John married Alice Lorena Stephens and had Lorena Emma Bozeman - Lorena married Charles Allen McClain, the only son of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain. Their daughter Alice Emma McClain married a dark handsome Cherokee named Cecil Earl Fenn Carter about 1931 and had Anne Alice Carter in 1934. Cecil's parents were Anna Stone and Wm Franklin Fenn. Anne was orphaned at the age of 5 and lived with her McClain Grandparents. Anne Carter married Frankie Lavern Cochran in 1951.

Frank was the son of Luella Ellen Coonfield and Frank Delbert Cochran of Chetopa Kansas and Frank had one eighth Cherokee blood. Luella's parents were mixed Cherokee, Lattie Cedonia Little of Kentucky and Benjamin Wallace Coonfield of Arkansas. Frank Delbert's parents were Clora Jane Miller of Illinois and Jacob Benjamin Cochran of Ohio. Clora's parents were Mary Clara Parker of New York and James Miller of Rockingham Virginia. Parents of Mary Clara were Rosannah Lemmon and Archelaus Parker, a son of Sarah Tefft and Archelaus Richardson Parker of Massachusetts and New York Indian Country 1600s.

Anne Carter Cochran's daughter Kathy married Charles Wayne Brooks of Montgomery Alabama. His parents were Mary Ella Thornton and James Edgar Brooks. Mary Ella's parents were Bessie Mae Hood and Milton Elijah Thornton. Parents of James were Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. Parents of Susie were Sarah Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper. Parents of Milton were George Thornton and a native american named Mary Angeline Partridge out of Georgia.
Parents of James Sr were Annie Clark Ballard and John Edwin Brooks from Maury County TN. John's parents were Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and John Brookes of PA and his family came from Holland. The Ballards were from North Carolina 1700s.

Thus all of the Brooks children descend from many surnames including the Bozemans and Carters.

• Mordecai1 (40 KB)
  Bozeman in SC Militia, father of Peter, John, James and probably Ralph and Paul. Mordecai could have been the son of Mary White and Samuel Bozeman of Bladen County North Carolina and born 1735, while it was still Cherokee Indian Territory. The researchers of his son John claim that John was half Cherokee so the other sons would also be half blood. This makes sense since nothing is known about his wife and his marriage is not recorded anywhere thus far - some speculate that his wife was called Elizabeth

  The son of Mordecai born around 1755-1758 had sons named Jesse M, Peter E, William Henry and a daughter Lucy Campbell. They moved to Montgomery Alabama around 1827 and Peter died around 1829. Peter had been paid for his service in the SC Continental Line of the American Revolution but thought he had earned something more when he moved, perhaps the Land Grant, but was possibly rejected because of a dead line setup by the government, but he did write about having a certificate, one that we have not yet discovered.
