Kristie,

I believe the 1774 date is correct. The fact that the grant is in "St.
George Parish" tells us that the date is probably correct since the first
counties weren't formed until Feb. 5, 1777. St. George Parish became Burke
County. The reference to "Grant Book M" also confirms that it was an
English Crown Grant. These grants were not made after 1775. There is, of
course, room for the name to be something other than Boosman. We would need
to see the actual microfilm to determine if the name really is Boosman or if
it may have been misinterpreted.

For example, the abstracts for St. George Parish also include:
=============================================
Griner, John Gasper
1000 acres in St. George parish
Granted on Aug. 2, 1774, Grant Book M, Page 191
1000 acres bounded on the north by William Boseman, east by Jacob Griner,
John Dunn, William Webb, and Glebe Land.
=============================================
After looking at other adjacent grants, I believe that this name is probably
not William Boseman. Instead, it is probably Benjamin William Borneman.
Examination of the microfilm will probably confirm that the name is not
William Boseman.

Also, the abstracts for Christ Church Parish, Georgia include:
=============================================
Ash, Matthias and Roseborg, Frederick
250 acres Christ Church Parish
Granted Jan. 19, 1773, Grant Book I, Page 840
Bounded on the southwest by Michael Bozeman, southeast by Yalvely(?). Tract
granted Ash and Roseborg in trust for the purposes mentioned in the last
will and testament of George Strobard, deceased.
=============================================
The above mentioned abstract identifies a Michael Bozeman. This is the
first I have ever heard of a Michael Bozeman who lived in Christ Church
Parish, Georgia in 1773. I believe that Savannah, Georgia is in Christ
Church Parish. Again, I would be interested in examining the microfilm to
decide for myself if this is really a Bozeman. It is certainly possible
that there was a Michael Bozeman in the area. Some list members may
remember the abstract which I have copied below. One of the witnesses was a
Micajah Bozeman. The name, Micajah, was also referred to as Mike. By
extension, this could be Michael. We don't know who this Micajah Bozeman
is. Perhaps he was a brother of Samuel???
=============================================
Telfair County, GA, Book "A" 1807-1813:
p. 135 24 February, 1810, between AQUILLA LOW of Jefferson County and
ELISHA WARD of Twiggs Co. of the one part and DAVID WARD of Jefferson
Co. of the other part.....$200.....all that part or parts of land which

Subject: [BOZEMAN] Warren Co GA


I am beginning to believe that the date of "1774" should be "1794" in
reguard to the land grant. I tend to side with Ron on this one. With the
documentation from the University of GA., I would safely assume that
this would put this James Bozeman as possible being the son of Samuel. I
have provide the link to this and a bit more information on the history
of GA. below.

http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/histmaps.htm

Warren County was created from Columbia, Washington, and Wilkes counties
on Dec. 19,1793 by an act of the General Assembly (Ga. Laws 1793, p.
10). Georgia's 16th county was named for Massachusetts' Gen. Joseph
Warren, who was killed early in the American Revolution at the Battle of
Bunker Hill.
In 1857, Glascock County was created entirely from Warren County (Ga.
Laws 1857, p.35). Also, portions of Warren County were used to create
Jefferson County (1796), Taliaferro County (1825), and McDuffie County
(1870).
