Wrapping up several years of genealogy and no longer having the physical or financial capabilities of further research,  I hope that I have provided some answers or clues for anyone wishing to continue the journey.  I have met many wonderful relatives and joined the Daughters of the American Revolution, leaving a path for my decendants.  I have had many emails regarding new connections, and some needing my assistance, which was absolutely intriguing, and rewarding.
Grandma's great great grandpa Peter Bozeman may have been mixed blood because nothing was known of his mother, yet those researching his brother John say that John was native american and with the mixture of many tribes from VA, NC, and SC, who knows what is in my mother's line. Her father will always remain a mystery, because his mom moved around a lot and remarried several times.. Even more breathtaking is the fact that Peter Bozeman was captured at the fall of Charleston, along with my dad's GGGGgrandfather, Captain George Little, and we can only wonder if they shared a cell, or a meal, maybe some conversation; simply awesome. Then from there in South Carolina George went into Tennessee and Kentucky, while Peter went to Alabama. The Little descendants soon met up with the Cochrans; while the Bozemans soon met up with the Carter family and here we are.
Dad's many grandfathers from many countries came here and served their country, settling in the wilderness, making it their new home, all leaving us a legacy to be very proud of.
So we are a mix of soldiers, patriots, natives, and as daddy called it, heinz 57.  Many in the old days were afraid of being anything other than white so that is what they wrote if they could write.

For the past many years I have thoroughly enjoyed the many emails and phone calls, and snail mail paper exchanges, proving our family connections nationwide. Many are around Bozeman Montana, Maine, Cochrans all over the midwest, many more local Bozeman cousins, Wayne is processing deer this month, and I connected him with his cousins Richard and Professor William; and there are many more here. http://www.algw.org/alafamilies/index.html ;    http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~southernbranches/0000.1-26.html

Thanks to all who shared.

Happy Hunting!

cousin hazel taking credit for all of our research and only posting her personal lineage.....we met Jimmy Ray Bozeman who personally drove to South Carolina archives to research and find the documents Hazel used, then his daughter, Allison, who was already in the DAR, easily had peter added.......hazel left that out too.  grrrrr Even so, she started the Autauga County DAR Chapter, where only a few attend; easier to join;  because about ten years ago I had contacted the Montgomery Chapter and it was a very long nightmare of emails.

http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~southernbranches/0.1.Bozeman.Anderson.Sellers.Carter.etc..html  Within i have tried to give credit to everyone who has helped me put this together; to share and reach out to my cousins and theirs.  Without their love for team effort, we never would have met and known what a wonderfully large legacy Peter Bozeman began ! In Dublin, cousin Dora Stubbs, a very elderly lady and some of the older Gibson cousins knew of the family graves in the woods behind the church and it was a long day of raking and cleaning which revealed so much more than we expected, plus they said about fifty graves exist there so there is much more work to be done . We can speculate that PEB was buried here near his mother Martha Hill Bozeman and her father John Hill who owned the land. Everything here was cleaned, photographed and documented for future researchers.

Happy Trails!
