In January 2008 the DAR has finally listed Peter Bozeman. Several should be establishing their memberships now based on his records, including Jimmy Ray and Hazel :)

Mordecai Bozeman born 1735 NC, while there were only a few colonies on the coast, while it was still Indian Nation and his son Peter born 1758 served in the American Revolution. Documents show that both were paid 4 pounds for their service. Nothing more is found on Mordecai but his son Peter moved his family to Montgomery Alabama about 1826 - 1827. His son William Henry is my connection.
However, we must note that Peter's second son was named Jesse in 1793. There was another Jesse in the Revolutionary War who lived by Peter on the 1800 Darlington Census so there is a strong possibility they were brothers. Or that Mordecai went by another name, middle name, and could have been there. Peter's first son was named Meade so that might have some connection to his mother or his mother in law - perhaps their maiden names....
William and Martha Hill ( daughter of John Hill of South Carolina) had Peter Edward Bozeman who married Nancy Jane Anderson ( daughter of Lavinia Jane Sellers, who's mother was Lavinia Brack) and had John Thomas - John married Alice Lorena Stephens and had Lorena Emma Bozeman - Lorena married Charles Allen McClain, the only son of Elizabeth Broadway and Josiah Marion McClain. Their daughter Alice Emma McClain married a dark handsome Cherokee named Cecil Earl Fenn Carter about 1931 and had Anne Alice Carter in 1934. Cecil's parents were Anna Stone and Wm Franklin Fenn. Anne was orphaned at the age of 5 and lived with her McClain Grandparents. Anne Carter married Frankie Lavern Cochran in 1951.

Frank was the son of Luella Ellen Coonfield and Frank Delbert Cochran of Chetopa Kansas and Frank had one eighth Cherokee blood. Luella's parents were mixed Cherokee, Lattie Cedonia Little of Kentucky and Benjamin Wallace Coonfield of Arkansas. Frank Delbert's parents were Clora Jane Miller of Illinois and Jacob Benjamin Cochran of Ohio. Clora's parents were Mary Clara Parker of New York and James Miller of Rockingham Virginia. Parents of Mary Clara were Rosannah Lemmon and Archelaus Parker, a son of Sarah Tefft and Archelaus Richardson Parker of Massachusetts and New York Indian Country 1600s.

Anne Carter Cochran's daughter Kathy married Charles Wayne Brooks of Montgomery Alabama. His parents were Mary Ella Thornton and James Edgar Brooks. Mary Ella's parents were Bessie Mae Hood and Milton Elijah Thornton. Parents of James were Susie Mae Cooper and James E Brooks Sr. Parents of Susie were Sarah Elizabeth Carter and Levi Benjamin Cooper. Parents of Milton were George Thornton and a native american named Mary Angeline Partridge out of Georgia.
Parents of James Sr were Annie Clark Ballard and John Edwin Brooks from Maury County TN. John's parents were Roxanna Permilia Smith of TN and John Brookes of PA and his family came from Holland. The Ballards were from North Carolina 1700s.

Thus all of the Brooks children descend from many surnames including the Bozemans and Carters.

    Bozeman in SC Militia, father of Peter, John, James and probably Ralph and Paul. Mordecai could have been the son of Mary White and Samuel Bozeman of Bladen County North Carolina and born 1735, while it was still Cherokee Indian Territory. The researchers of his son John claim that John was half Cherokee so the other sons would also be half blood. This makes sense since nothing is known about his wife and his marriage is not recorded anywhere thus far - some speculate that his wife was called Elizabeth

    The son of Mordecai born around 1755-1758 had sons named Jesse M, Peter E, William Henry and a daughter Lucy Campbell. They moved to Montgomery Alabama around 1827 and Peter died around 1829. Peter had been paid for his service in the SC Continental Line of the American Revolution but thought he had earned something more when he moved, perhaps the Land Grant, but was possibly rejected because of a dead line setup by the government, but he did write about having a certificate, one that we have not yet discovered.

  • Broken Arrow
  • Following the path of the old ones.

    Broken Arrow is my birthplace and both of my parents are Cherokee by blood.

    We lived along Mingo Road in Broken Arrow, Tulsa County, Oklahoma and my dad's parents at one time lived in Chelsea, Rogers County, Oklahoma before settling in Labette, KS.

    Many of his family migrated into Arizona near many indian reservations which still exist and we soon joined them living by his Aunt Eunice. Mom's brothers visited often and one "Billy Boxcar" owned a roofing company in Enid, OK while the other "Big Brother" lived in North Carolina, where his wife's grandfather was a pastor in the Cherokee Reservation, as told by cousin Mark.

    We lived amongst people of all colors and heard many different languages and took note of various traditions.

    I have followed them as far back as possible with census records, tax lists, church records, military records and some land deeds back to 1800 and some census records to 1790 being the first one taken, and found some very old records in the Archives regarding slave purchases, court petitions, or other court documents, etc., plus other old stories or books written, such as cousin Joshua Tefft being hanged, drawn and quartered by King Phillip in the 1600s Rhode Island history. Also there were books written by our cousin Lucius Little about our family's involvement in the History Of Kentucky, and Clyde Stephens's book about the migration of John into Alabama and his descendants, plus Wagon Tracks by Fenn, Sketches of Bozeman, Rev Miller by Milo Custer and many more helpful references to our family tree.

      Just me....with Jimmy Ray Bozeman behind me we have finally discovered the grave of Civil War Soldier, Peter Edward Bozeman, born in 1834, buried near his daughter in law Alice Lorena Stephens Bozeman. Peter was married to Nancy Anderson who also had Cherokee ancestry and connects to Edward Doty of the Mayflower history. Peter was the son of Martha Hill and Wm Henry Bozeman. The tombstones were cleaned and photographed by several of cousins who met us there in the deep woods.

My daughters were with me when we discovered their daddy's great great grandfather Thomas Randolph Carter's tombstone monument near my own mother's great great great Uncle Jesse Bozeman, and both of these men had migrated from South Carolina in the 1820s. Thomas married the daughter of Jesse and purchased some of Jesse's brothers land during the estate sale of William Henry Bozeman in 1847.

Catherine's father was Charles Weatherford, possibly the famous Charles Weatherford, found in Creek Indian History as written by Pickett - by Chisholm and Boylston in Montgomery County you will find Pickett Springs and indian mounds where Charles Weatherford had settled with another wife name Sehoy. Sehoy's family was buried along the Alabama River but she and her husband were not.... Anyways, this is my father's line on his mother's side and explains why his mom said she was Cherokee.

  • Thanks for visiting!! Genealogy takes a lot of time and patience. Gather up your family stories, talk with your relatives to add to those stories, gather pictures and go back through old family photo albums, then order birth and death certificates perhaps on vitalchek.com, and marriage licenses, visit your archives or courthouses for related documents; census images will give you names and ages, there ya go, put the pieces together, step by step, and you have a decent family tree with much verification.

    My folks were mixed native americans and I am finding many indian names in the branches I am researching and some applications to the Indian Rolls of Oklahoma of various relatives, which add more clues to our family history.

    Good luck with yours :)
    So many found on the 1790 census, then 1800, 1810, and 1820 but the news of new farm land further south was irresistable as well as the news of Daniel Boone's exporations of Kentucky so they began a long journey to their new home.

    Their grandfathers came from all over the world and fought during many wars and battles to receive their land grants in the new colonies along the east coast, with most leaving a nice paper trail for us to follow.

    Obviously there would be military records you can order from Nara.gov, Property Deeds or Land Grants, Tax Lists, Church Records, Death Records, Petitions or Letters, Marriage Licenses, long before the first national census record of 1790. Even though many courthouses have burned down, there are a few lingering records and Books or Diaries to help with this study. Darlington was very close to Bladen North Caroiina where our Bozemans came from in the 1700s and is the location of their Bounty Land Grants from the war.

    Alexander Cochran of the American Revolution..

    Migrating into Pennsylvania in the early 1700s, possibly the same one who served in the War for Independence receiving Land in Ohio in 1820 or was this his son......Finding a Alexander and a William Cochran in Pennsylvania listed as Merchants and later the only two listed in Guernsey Ohio.

    So much to learn about these two men and the many children born to these families with many grandsons serving in the Civil War.

    Finding these descendants and the families they intermarried an absolutely fascinating study and those who contact me, just as interesting.

    We will never know if our Alexander had any connection to those of Maryland, who also migrated into the lands of Ohio, naming their own sons Alexander, but welcome aboard anyway because we just might meet again back in the 1600s of Clan Cochrane........

        Native Americans of South Carolina
        VERY IMPORTANT FIND: 1719 South Carolina Assembly in determining who should be "indian" for tax purposes (Indian slaves were adjudged at a lower tax rate than negro slaves..so the idea is to get as much tax as possible...remember, censuses were also intended to assess the taxable citizens in any given area, so race was determined by what the census enumerator felt that the person should be taxed as.) The Act passed that year stated "And for preventing all doubts and scruples that may arise what ought to be rated on mustees, mulattoes, etc. all such slaves not entirely Indian should be accounted as negro." Inference: persons of Indian blood less than full-blood would be legally documented as "negro". It is apparent that by the time of the founding of Fort Christana at the NC/VA border, a large segment of the Siouan/Tuscarora/Algonquin Indians which were settled there and put to work as miners, were already mixed with white and Portuguese blood. By the time of the closing of the Fort, and the migrating of these Indian mixed-bloods to the shores of the Pamunkey River at around 1720, many of the families were so mixed and acculturated, that they were no longer legally or socially regarded as "Indian"....of course, they still had a high degree of Indian blood, and a strong Indian identity, but for the most part they went about their lives much like their white neighbors, farming, raising cattle, acquiring and titles, etc.

        By the 1750's when these Christian, English-speaking, literate, industrious, mixed-blood families began to spread to southern NC and northern SC, those white colonists didn't know what to do with these people. Usually when they 'toed-the-line' socially, financially, and legally, these is little documentation to distinguish them from their white neighbors... its only when someone crosses the line that their is some legal case, tax dispute, violent confrontation, etc., etc., which of course documents these peoples' ancestry in the darkest possible light.

        The single most important point here is this.......it wasn't the "mixed-blood" factor that held these people together as separate communities (there are many families of mixed black/white ancestry or white/Indian ancestry that melted into the larger white or black population) ... it wasn't the Portuguese ancestry that held these people together as separate communities (many of the families did not claim Portuguese ancestry, and the majority did not claim it as their first choice of racial identity)...it was the Indian ancestry that was the identity and motivating factor which caused them to live separately from their white and black neighbors.

        Alabama Migrations and mine were right in the midst of it.
        http://www.archives.state.al.us/teacher/settle.html
        After the Revolutionary War, the U.S. Government established laws to survey and sell land gained from Britain. The area that became Alabama was originally part of the Mississippi Territory from 1798 to 1817. Many settlers arrived in the area before government lands had been surveyed. Unable to buy, they simply picked a location, built a cabin, cleared fields, and put in crops. Such families were called squatters. Land laws were passed to provide legal title to land for settlers who already lived on the land. Some settlers claimed land by British or Spanish land grants, and others were squatters who claimed land by right of pre-emption....Starting in 1804, U. S. Land Offices were established to sell land in the area which would become Alabama. By law federal land was sold to the highest bidders at public auctions. Alabama sales attracted men from all over the nation, many of them speculators. Groups of speculators bought large tracts, sometimes for as little as $10 an acre, then resold at $20 to $100 an acre. When an auction ended, poorer migrants could buy less desirable land for as little as $2 an acre. The smallest amount one person could buy was 160 acres. Under the Land Law of 1800 a purchaser could put one-fourth down and pay the rest off over three years. But when the price of cotton fell to eighteen cents a pound, few could meet payments on land bought at inflated prices. By 1820, Alabama owed the federal government $11 million--more than half of the national land debt. In 1820 and 1821 Congress passed new laws to deal with this problem. The Land Law of 1820 required future buyers to pay the entire amount in cash but lowered the minimums to $1.25 an acre and 80 acres. Those already in debt were aided by the Relief Act of 1821 which permitted them to keep part of their land and return the rest to the government or buy it all on the installment plan at reduced rates. Introduction to the Settlement Unit: The defeat of the Creek Indians opened the heartland of Alabama to white settlement and caused Alabama fever to sweep the nation. Pioneers by the thousands left Tennessee, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia seeking fertile land for growing cotton. Mississippi territorial law was in place, but when Mississippi became a state, Congress created the Alabama Territory in 1817. Congress designated St. Stephens as capital of the Alabama Territory and approved a legislature of Alabama delegates already elected to the old Mississippi territorial legislature. William Wyatt Bibb, a Georgia physician who had served in the United States Congress and had powerful friends in Washington, was named Territorial governor. He was also elected as the first governor when Alabama became a state December 14, 1819. He helped establish the government, pass laws and administer justice. The following documents deal with cost of government, land speculation, cotton, and law as settlers poured in the area during the early settlement of Alabama.At the start of the 19th century, Indians still held most of present-day Alabama. War broke out in 1813 between American settlers and a Creek faction known as the Red Sticks, who were determined to resist white encroachment. After General Andrew Jackson and his Tennessee militia crushed the Red Sticks in 1814 at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in central Alabama, he forced the Creek to sign a treaty ceding some 40,000 sq mi (103,600 sq km) of land to the US, thereby opening about three-fourths of the present state to white settlement. From 1814 onward, pioneers, caught up by what was called "Alabama fever," poured out of the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and Kentucky into what Andrew Jackson called "the best unsettled country in America." Wealthy migrants came in covered wagons, bringing their slaves, cattle, and hogs. But the great majority of pioneers were ambitious farmers who moved

        Little Family Tree Research :
        all things connected to Captain George Little of Scotland. There has been much speculation as to the birth dates of his children with a Scottish wife, Mary. My thoughts from browsing the 1790 Union District census records are:
        He was born 1733...age 21 when he came to America ( 1754 ) married and then 10 children.....was in war 1776 at age 43 for two years in the Third Regiment of the Colonial Army..was Sargent, Lieutenant, then Captain until Tarleton's men shot him in the hip causing disability......on 1790 census with 10 others in household....I would suspect that since I find no record of all of his daughters and their husbands that it is possible some married and stayed home to take care of the ailing father.

        Wouldnt his wife be too old for childbirth after the war?

        1790 census shows a Jonas, John, Joseph each in their own household...are they his children or brothers or no relation? They have children!! If Jonas did not marry Betsy Douglass until she was 18, perhaps he had a previous marriage...However if OUR Jonas Little was not born until 1780, as indicated on Laura Little's DAR lineage report, then the guy we see on the 1790 census is "someone else". I personally think that she estimated his date of birth as so many did back then.

        Joseph and John Jr are in Colonel Brandon's regiment in 1790 so he is obviously married with family long before they all moved away from SC into TN and KY. So Joseph could have been born around 1750 and his brother's son about 1770 for them both to be in a 1790 regiment ! John shows 9 family members in his household so he's at least been married 10 years.

        So the estimated birth dates on other family trees have to be incorrect - these men had to be born before the war and not after....besides at the age of their parents, it might be impossible. Perhaps locating the other sons, William and Thomas, will give us more clues.

        George and Mary's daughters were born in the 1760s and I would feel certain that the sons were also........This couple had at least 20 years together before the war and the children were all likely born long before he became disabled. He apparently could not have children with Mary Douglass when they married - in fact there is no record of her having any children after being with Alexander Douglass.

        The only other possible theory is that George Little might have come to America with several brothers and they all settled into South Carolina.

        Tracking our roots, cross country. Many records or legal documents were lost when courthouses were burned, during the war, yet there were many adoptions or marriages that were never legalized as people simply changed their last name. Alabama didn't even start recording birth certificates until about 1908 and Kansas had a lot of errors on the birth certificates of my family...Nicknames confuse the process and back then there were many Buds, Marys, Pollys, Dolly, Sallys, Kitty, Bettie, and usually these nicknames had nothing to do with their legal name, and often times the legal name was totally forgotten by relatives and friends. Mom heard that her dad was often called Nick. His mother's name was Anna Lou yet called Annie Lee. This causes many errors on legal documents such as their death certificate...Cecil's death certificate shows his wife was Ellie McLain but she was legally named Alice Emma McClain and her mom called her by Emmer. Her great grandpa James McClain married a woman only known as Anna and we ask why didn't anyone ask about her maiden name or did she have an indian name before she got married....My Uncle Mat Fenn is listed as Mathew at the cemetery yet his real name was Madison and his mother Emeline was shown as Emily on the census records plus his sister Ida Fenn was listed as Ida Fennel; Fenn was actually Fann in the 1700s. Then I believe that my grandpa William Frank Fenn was really named Franklin... My Dad was Frank but was mostly known as Bud. My Uncle Cecil was mainly known as Junior. My grandmother Luella was called Lue or Rue while her sister Amy Marie was known as Aunt Mae. Luella's death certificate shows her mother's name was Gladys but it was Lattie Cedonia. My grandpa Carter's death certificate shows his wife's name as Ellie but it was Alice Emma and I always heard that her name was Emily. My husband's Aunt Billie was legally named Glennie Thornton and her sister Tutor was legally named Loraine, so I guess very few knew.
        Then some liked to use their middle name, like my Uncle Billy preferred to be called Larry...Another issue we deal with is when those native americans were baptised, they were given an English name, so if you were searching the indian rolls, which name would be used? Some just married an indian and "gave" them a Christian name...Indians also liked hearing new names and simply switched names on their own. Plus we had other families who enjoyed changing the spelling of their name like McClain became McLain/McLean/Mc Lane, or the Cochran became Cochrane and Boseman became Bozeman or Boozman or even Bosman and once found on a census looking like Bogeman and then Brooke became Brooks.
        Think about Pocahontas - she was called Rebekah. Sequoyah's real name was George Guess, which was derived from Guest or Guist and we find Gist among our relatives in the Carolinas about 1800. Chief Red Eagle was really William Weatherford, the son of Charles, yet some say previous generations spelled it as Whitherford. Then about Chief Powhatan, nobody will ever know the many names of his wives and children, nor where they migrated and the Little/ Weatherford research of Kentucky had focused on a young indian bride named Cleopatra.Few had education, could not read nor write, did not know their date of birth and many did not know their parents nor where they came from. My granny Lorena, known as Aunt Rena, had her numbers mixed up on several papers, but much of her time was spent out on the farm and not in a classroom. Her son Charles Henderson could not read nor write, signed his name with an X mark and he is buried in an indian cemetery near Fort Mitchell. Then we have the prejudiced census takers who wrote down only what they heard instead of the official spelling of names or even the racial problems they had, like the only races were black or white, and anything other than that would be called Mulatto, which really is not fair to the Native Americans that we are seeking.
