Nell,
Found this article in the Jan 2001 issue of Northeast Alabama Settlers
quarterly publication (publ. by NE Alabama Genealogical Society in
Gadsden, Alabama) which mentions a Bozeman woman in Blount County,
Alabama about 1836.. The following is from a series of articles
published in 1936 in the newspaper "The Southern Democrat". This
article is about the Blount County, Alabama community of Royal, and was
written in 1936 by Ruby Hollis. Here is what it says:

" Royal, in Blount County, Alabama - - Before 1820 there were very few
white people in what is now the Royal community. It was not until after
General Jackson made his march to Horseshoe Bend that the first white
settlers came to this part of the state. On this march, he passed
through the northern edge of Royal. It is not definitely known whether
he forded the river at the place where the present bridge spans the
Warrior River or about one mile north at Campbell ford. General Coffee
on is march to join General Jackson followed the same route and crossed
the river at Campbell ford.
At this time there were two or three Indian towns in this community.
(their names are unknown). One of them was located on the farm of the
present M.A. Bicknell. The other was on the farm of Aunt Hulda Graves.
These two farms have been rich fields of Indian relics.......there were
two tribes of Indians in this vicinity, the Creeks east of the river and
the Cherokees to the west. They remained here until 1836 when they were
moved west of the Mississippi River. Two residents of Royal helped to
move them. They were Wiley Jones, the grandfather of Mrs. M.A. Bicknell,
and an old lady BOZEMAN who was postmistress of Royal. The procession
started in the fall when the streams were low for there were not roads
or known fords in the streams.
The Indian women and children rode in wagons but the men had to walk.
It was a sad and tiresome journey. Mr. Jones came back three months
later, but Mrs. BOZEMAN never returned. It is thought that she settled
in Mississippi."

That was the only mention of the Bozeman family in that article.
