Kristie,

The earliest Bozeman family that I know of in Tennessee was Caleb
Bozeman (parents unknown).

July 25, 1799 Calep Boazman signed the following petition:

To the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee

The petition of the Inhabitance of Sumner County living on the South
side of Cumberland River humbly sheweth that your petitioners have now a
suficiant number of effective men to entitle them to a new County. Your
petitioners trust that your Honourable body will grant them a new County
bounded on the North by Cumberland River from Davidson County up to the
confluance of the Cany Fork then East to the Indian boundary which will
have a suficiant bounds for the County of Sumner and a new County to the
East of it which will have the South side of said River in the situation
that would be proper for a further division which will be necessary in a
short time. Your petitioners further pray that if any such attempt
should be made that your Honourable body will not suffer the County of
Sumner to cross Cumberland River and your petitioners as in duty bound
shall ever pray.

July the 25th 1799.

The earliest Bozeman family that I know of in Kentucky was Jacob
Bozeman, son of Samuel & Ann. I am sure that he passed thru Tennessee
but I don't think he ever lived in Tennessee.

Today, out of curiousity, I was looking at the TN Gen Web site at the
information on the State of Franklin 1782- 1788 and found the
following:

Hosted by USGenNet, Inc.

PETITION OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE WESTERN COUNTRY
[State of Franklin, 1787]


>From The State Records of North Carolina, Vol. XXII, pp. 705-714

Ed. Note: Because so many of the above names are abbreviated, spelled
"old
style" or mistranscribed, the following incomplete list of "search
words" has been added to this page:

Corson, Allison, Stivers, Styvers, Bartholmew, Shadrach, Denny, Potter,
Kirkpatrick, Benjamin, Eads, Starling, Strong, Moseley, Stubblefield,
Rudolph, Ferguson, Hagan, Dickson, Dixon, McDaniel, Humphrey, Carmack,
Johnson, Ridge, Norman, Clark, Biggs, Atwood, Shane, Owen, Pinkney,
Huston, Payne, Bennett, Austin, Hightower, Petherow, Norris, Hensley,
Vachel, Hale, Massingale, Massengill, Murphy, Spurgeon, Arbuthnot,
Stokes, Waldrop, McLaren, Billingsley, Marion, Bozeman, Finn, Burwell,
Murrell


After looking at all the names, these are the only two that may be a
Bozeman and mistranscribed. Does any one reconized these names and can
anyone place any of our Bozeman families in the State of Franklin?

I just find the history side of this interesting and if anyone could
place
or has information on Bozemans could place them on the first families of
Tn list. At this time, I believe there is only 1000 known families on
this list.
