Chapter VIII.
  

Capt. Peter H. Bozeman, 1817-1867.
Lived and died in Lauderdale county, Miss. near Toomsuba, came to that place in 
1839, where he married Miss Charlotte C. Everett the same year, and resided 
till his death in 1867; when a youth, he lived in Clarke county, Ala, was born 
in South Carolina, Sept. 1817.
  

He was a farmer and merchant, a magistrate eight years, a Democrat, a Baptist, 
in sentiment, though not a member of any church, was Captain of the Alinteha 
Guards. 13th Mississippi  regiment C.S.A. and was very popular with his 
soldiers and fellow officers. Three of their children reached adult age.
  

1.  Peter Edwin Bozeman who married Miss Mattie Kelly, Jan 9, 1875, has four 
children, Jessie Gertrude born 1876, Virgie Iola 1878; Effie Clifton 1880;  
Almeady Everett 1881.  He lives now 1885 at Akron Ala.
  

2.  Jesse James Bozeman, who married Miss Lois Calhoun,  at Toomsuba, Miss., 
Oct 20, 1878, has one child, Everett Annie, born 1879.
  

3.  Mary Almeady Bozeman, a bright beautiful young lady, who married George 
Lafayette Blanks, at Toomsuba, Jan. 4, 1885, a brother of Dr.. J. H. Blanks, of 
Meridian, Miss.
  

Capt. Peter Bozeman's father was Meady Gee Bozeman, of Cheraws,  S. C. near the 
great Pedee River.  Here we have the name Meady again. We find it in various 
branches of the Bozeman family.  It tells the relationship. "Meady"  Where did 
this name come from?  It is a thread by which we may yet be led farther into 
the past of our history.   I hope the name will be retained in the family in 
all the coming generations. The distinguishing names of the Bozemans are:  
Meady, Etheldred, Luke,  Nathan, James, Joseph, Winnie from Winnifred, Celia 
and Dicy.
  

Capt. Peter Bozeman had brothers in Montgomery county, Ala. His uncles were 
named Peter, Henry and Jesse, his father, Meady Gee; his grandfather, Peter 
Bozeman.  They lived near the northern border of South Carolina, not far from 
the home of my ancestors, in the southern part of North Carolina.  The correct 
spelling of all the Meady Bozemans is with an "e," thus, Boze-man.
  

Mordicai Bozeman - 1735- Darlington Co., South Carolina
  

A native of North Carolina, born about 1735.  His sons were:
1.  Peter Bozeman, born about 1758; a soldier in the Revolution on the side of 
American Independence.  Moved to Alabama.
2. John Bozeman, born about 1760; soldier in the Revolution with his brother.
3.  Jame Bozeman, born about 1766, lived in Darlington county South Carolina, 
married Elizabeth Flowers.




Children of James and Elizabeth Flowers Bozeman, 
  
a.  Henry Bozeman, born about 1800, married Elizabeth Norwood; lived in 
Darlington district, SC; died in 1874.  Children of Henry and Elizabeth 
Norwood Bozeman are:  Henry Boseman, Jr. born in 1833, married Martha Flowers 
in 1852, lived in Darlington county, S.C. died in 1866; a carpenter by trade, 
had five cildren:  Edwin Bozeman, born 1856, a farmer.  Zach. Norwood Bozeman, 
born 1858, a farmer.  Rowena Bozeman, born 1860;  John Henry Bozeman, born 
1862, farmer;  James Brunson Bozeman, born  1864, student for the Baptist 
ministry in Furman University, S.C. in 1883, one of my correspondents. 
  
b.  Jesse Bozeman, son of James and Elizabeth Flowers Bozeman, and grandson of 
Mordicai Bozeman, born in 1802, married a miss Beck, and lives at this date, 
1884, in Darlington, S.C.  The three children  of Jesse Bozeman were:  William 
Bozeman, born about 1825, killed in the Confederate War;  Peter Bozeman, born 
about 1827, killed in the Confederate war;  George Washington Bozeman, born 
about 1830, lives in South Carolina. 
  
The above is all I have learned about the Mordicai Bozemans of Darlington South 
Carolina.  I should think from the names Peter and Jesse, that they are the 
same branch as Capt. Peter H. Bozeman of Lauderdale county, Miss., whose 
ancestors lived about Cheraws, S. C. whose grandfather was named Peter Bozeman 
and brother named Jesse Bozeman, and sons named Peter Edwin and Jesse James 
Bozeman.
