Peter Bozeman born about 1755-1760 served in the American Revolution married a widow Sarah Brown who had two daughters of her own, who might have married and migrated to Alabama with the entire family, about 1827.

In 1826 their property in Darlington SC was surveyed, likely to sell so they could move. Peter had received payment and land about 1782-1785 for his service in the war. Records indicate that he had been captured at the fall of Charleston, but managed to escape.

 In 1828 he wrote letters to the American Revolutionary Claims office from Alabama about having a certificate, probably for land, but the Land Records show that Jesse Bozeman bought the land. Revolutionary records mention a deadline and perhaps Peter did not meet that deadline for his property in Alabama.

He died in 1829 and all of his children and his wife attended the estate sale.

The mystery to this author is "did his two stepdaughters attend".

In 1800 Darlington census there is a Jesse living two farms away from Peter, but that is not his son. Perhaps a brother.

However, Peter did name a son Jesse M Bozeman in 1793 and a son Meade was born in 1790.

Why would the first born son of Peter and Sarah be named Meade? Could that have been her maiden name? Or perhaps his mother's name?

Then Jesse's middle initial could have been for what? Mordecai?

 About 1802 he named a son William Henry Bozeman who married Martha Hill. Peter also named a son Peter E Bozeman in 1807 who married Gilly.

Peter had a daughter named Lucy who married Sterling Campbell. The 1830 census of Alabama shows all of the children, born to Peter and Sarah....and possibly Sarah's two daughters by Mr. Brown.
