One daughter married Sterling Campbell and one married Vincent
Joiner and neither are found nearby because they are still at home with
Peter - however a young woman is the spouse of new next door neighbor Will
Rogers in 1810 and if she were born about 1787, this surely could be the missing
daughter of Sarah and Peter Bozeman...
Knowing that Peter's son Meady and wife died about 1821 we can
assume the missing daughter of Peter did also - they are never found again and
both never mentioned as heirs to Peter's estate.
Peter gave land to his grandsons by Meady in 1822 and land to his own son
Jesse when he got married and started a family.
Peter must have been a wealthy farmer or received much more acreage for his
service in the war than documents truly reveal.

In 1830 we do find Peter's son William Henry living near William
Sellers and near Lavinia Anderson and near Edmond Lewis and Howell Mason;
Peter and Jesse Bozeman are on the next census page with Elisha Anderson and
Alfred Sellers.
Elisha Anderson died in 1834 so we find his son Elijah in the 1840
census by Peter's son Peter E. Bozeman
And since Peter Bozeman died in 1829, his sons have his property in
1840, Jesse and William Henry and their sister Lucy and her spouse Sterling
Campbell nearby is David Calloway
William Henry died in 1847 and Jesse is found in 1850 beside his
daughter Lucy and her spouse Thomas R. Carter
near Elijah Anderson
Note that Jesse M. has a son named Jesse A. so it is possible that
Jesse M. was first married to one of the Anderson girls.
Thomas and Lucy named their first son William Henry and resided on
land purchased from the estate of her uncle William Henry
Bozeman.
Lucy had a daughter who married a Calloway who remained on that
land for many years.
Epidemics hit this area around 1850 and many were lost. The 1850s
were really hard on this family. Several tombstones are found and one of
the men on the tractor who greeted us that day said another cemetery is nearby
but we never found it.
