Tombstones found in Montgomery,
Jesse Bozeman born 1793 Darlington South Carolina
migrated to Montgomery County Alabama with his father Peter Bozeman
who had served in the American Revolution. Jesse and his wife
Lucy with children plus Jesse's brothers Peter E., William Henry,
Meedy and sister Lucy Bozeman Campbell all resided upon a huge
plantation. Jesse was the only one able to read and write, so
as the Attorney of the family, he handled all legal documents and
estate sales and so far no will has been found for any person of
this lineage.
Jesse's daughter Lacy Jane married Thomas Randolph
Carter who also bought land in this area, and was the grandson of
Captain John Carter of the American Revolution.
Search for Stokes in Montgomery
County to read the article about this very neglected
cemetery.
It mentions a Mathew Stokes as a previous owner, and he
was married to Mary Campbell who might have been the daughter of the
above mentioned Lucy.
Also when Jesse Bozeman's brother William died, Thomas
Carter purchased a portion of that land. William's grave is
not found. Peter's grave is not found.
Perhaps they are buried nearby.
Jesse is buried beside one of his two wives and a tree
had grown up between them damaging the stones.
You can see the huge fallen tree behind Lacy's
tombstone and apparently it broke her brother James' stone which is
beside hers

stones

Thicket of trees behind the pond is the burial ground
where cattle roam freely over the tombstones.
