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

were:
