Glad to meet you.
Where do you live? I'll be glad to go to the cemetary with you. John Robinson Bozeman
had one wife, Cathorine(please note she spelled her name with an o),
One problem we have is some census takers were inept to say the least. Some took the easy
way and constructed a name for Jacob N<(Nimbrod) and changed it to Nathan. We must also
remember that everything on the net is not truth. When Henry Teer and Dr. Bozeman came
back in the 50's, they talked to the family to get the info then did the work
necessary to see it was the truth before he printed. Because we live less than 3 miles
from the Colquitt, Mitchell, Worth Co lines, census takers for the last census came to the
door from Mitchell, Worth and Colquitt. They did the same back in 1800. Bridge Creek was
just a name for an old place in the road. Last year I took someone to a cemetary most had
forgotten existed. Now Colquitt Co. keeps up the site so others can find it.
I did mistype the dates, sorry but that is another problem we have on the net. Thank
goodness you caught it.
When would you like to go to the cemetary? This will be the best way for you to get the
facts straight. From your information I can see you really don't have facts.
Back in the 1980 my daddy William Hill "Bo" Bozeman had to have surgery on his
arm. I didn't know the room number and ask for W.H. Bozeman. I went to the room. Daddy
was in the bed but I was shocked none of the family were with him. He was facing away from
the door. Just as I got to the bed, he sat up, and said hi. But it was not my daddy. I
couldn't get out of there fast enough. I went to the nurses station and got the
correct info on daddy's room. In about 20 mins. the man from the other room came down.
It was "Billy" W.H. Bozeman from Sylvester. I knew him from one of our
businesses. Billy said it took him a few minutes to think who I was too. The receptionest
gave me correct info. Both were W.H. Bozeman both in their 60's. But it was wrong
because I knew my Daddy.
