Nancy,
What are the dates you have for John Robertson Bozeman? I have that he was the son of
Catherine Cain 1809-1883 and Jacob Nathan 1807-before 1860 from several internet sources.
It would have been difficult for a man born in the early 1800's (of a suitable age to
marry Catherine) to have fought in the war. John Robertson, according to my notes and your
reference the Confederate Soldier's roster show's his date of birth as May 1830
and death as (you typed 1831) I guess they said 1931, but I had 1881. the US census shows
his date of birth as being around 1830. Would a woman born in 1809 have married a man 21
years her junior? Possibly, but not too likely. The 1880 census allso shows John Robertson
Bozeman living in Bridge Creek in Colquitt Co. with wife Mary A. Bozeman(my notes show
John married Mary A. Shiver) and mother, the WIDOWED Catherine E. Bozeman. Living with
them in 1880 are the following children: Henry (21), Jacob N. (19) James R (11) Charley A
(9) and Catherine (3)
Another son John D. b 1857 is not at home in 1880. He married a Mary J. I could find no
record of them in the census.
Who else do you have as the children of Catherine Elizabeth Cain Bozeman? I have found :
John Robertson Bozeman 1830-1881 md Mary Shiver
Luke Cain Bozeman 1834-md Caroline Elizabeth?
Catherine Elizabeth Bozeman 1839 md Dennis Powell
Nancy Ann Shiver 1844 md John J Shiver
William Bozeman 1847-1880 md Rose Barfield. I descend from Catherine Elizabeth Bozeman and
Dennis Powell, my greatgrandparents.
Mary
