Genealogy can be quite fascinating once you get deep within the old stories and find the dozens of grandparents who created you.

Some of mine fulfill the legend of the indian maiden in our family and others lead to the magnificent soldiers who might have been captured, but escaped, during the Fall of Charleston around 1776,
such as Peter Bozeman or George Little, then there are the "patriots" who provided food or shelter to our military, all are recognized for their love of our country by the DAR and I have collected dozens of "numbers" used to identify and honor those heroes in my lineage.

When the shadows of this life have flown,
a little piece of our legacy will remain. .

Some of the family legends include John Stephens who left St Augustine FL to join the War and then married a full blood Cherokee, then migrated to Montgomery Alabama which is also where Peter Bozeman had settled in 1827. Another is about Peter's brother John who married a full blood Cherokee and migrated into Mississippi in 1823. Then Josiah McClain's mother was only known as "Anna" born in 1800 Georgia which was both Creek and Cherokee Territory. Josiah's mother in law was Mary Stephens Broadway and his son married Lorena, the daughter of Alice Stephens Bozeman. What a tangled web we weave!!!
