Bozmans feature Henry, b. 1653, William, b. 1638, Raulf(Ralph)b.

I really hate to do this but there is an inconsistency here. William of
Maryland could not have been born in 1638. His oldest child, Katherine, was
born in 1648. The rest of his kids were born throughout the 1650s. Now, we
Bozman's of Maryland are a rather precocious bunch but I really doubt that
William was fathering kids at age ten. I don't have the reference sources
handy but his birth has been placed around 1625. So, if we can resolve the
problem of his date of birth, we may have something here. Can anyone speak as
to the ages of the other sons listed?
