This morning I received a book that I ordered from Genealogy.com entitled
"The Pension Lists of 1792-1795".
There is a section concerning a law passed by Congress in 1810
concerning "SETTLEMENT OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR CLAIMS PREVIOUSLY BARRED BY
ESTABLISHED LIMITATIONS TRANSMITTED TO CONGRESS BY THE TREASURE DEPRTMENT"
On page 117 of this book I have found Peter Bozeman.
There is a statement across the top of the page that reads: "a statement of
all the claims which have been adjusted and allowed at the Treasury Department,
and for which certificates of registered debt issued, in virtue of a law
entitled "An act providing for the settlement of claims of persons under
particular circumstances barred by limitations heretofore established", passed
on the 27th of March 1792.
On the page are the following columns. I am listing the columns and
information shown for Peter Bozeman
Cert. Date - Mar.6, 1793
Statement - 3724
Type - a
Name - Bozeman, Peter
Service - Private, 2d South Carolina Regiment
Interest Date - Jan 1, 1781
Amount - 49.91
As for the column marked Type there is a note at the end which states - "
The forgoing statement includes not only the certificates of registered debt,
issued under the act of 17th March, 1792, providing for the settlement of the
claims of persons under particular circumstances barred by the acts of
limitations, but , also such as were issued under the act of 12th February,
1793, because, in the Treasury statements, there was not any designation to
which act the claim related, in point of removal of the bar to settlement. The
statement is, therefore, a record of all the registered debt certificates,
issued under those acts indefinitely. But, as the act of 17th March 1792, has a
special reference to the claims of "any officer, soldier, artifices, sailor, or
marine,, of the late army or navy of the United States, for personal service
rendered to the United States, in the military or naval departments, such
as come under this designation, in the forgoing list, are marked "a"; those not
coming under that description are marked "b".
Sure seems to me that Peter served in the Revolutionary War.
