This is mainly for Calvin but might be of interest to a few others on the
list.

I am wondering if the 100 acres granted to James Boosman in 1774 on the
Ogechee River is the same 100 acres which appears on the 1794 tax list for
John Bozman in Warren County, GA. (See the two abstracts below)

The Warren County tax lists shows two 50 acres parcels which appear to be
adjacent. It looks like the 100 acre parcel is shown as two 50 acre parcels
because the price per acre for tax purposes is different. Perhaps 50 acres
was swamp and was not worth as much as the other 50 acres.

So, if the Warren County land is the same land granted to James in 1774,
then what is the relationship of John Bozman in 1794 to James Boosman in
1774? Could John be the son of James?

Diana has previously speculated that James of Edgecombe, NC had come to
Georgia in 1774 and then later returned to NC where he died in 1784. His
son, James, could have also come to Georgia but he died in NC in 1796. I
have to admit that I don't know who the James was who was granted the land
in 1774. But, I also don't know who the 1794 John Bozman was in Warren
County. I suppose it is possible that this James is descended from William
of Maryland. Perhaps Sharon could see if she has a likely candidate in her
database.
