Paula,

Luke's wife was Elizabeth Ward. The Rev. Bozeman tells us in his book
that David's first wife was Sallie Bozeman, daughter of Meady Bozeman
and that his second wife was Catherine Barr. The family bible confirms
that David's first wife was Sarah Bozeman and that his second wife was
Catherine Barr.

I don't know where Sarah Mann fits in unless Mann is an incorrect
reference to Bozeman much as Solomon Matthews is most likely Solomon
Mathers.

Thanks for the article. I have a question about Sarah Mann. In the
article she
is written as being the wife of Luke Bozeman, then listed, if I read
correctly,
as the first wife of David J. Bozeman. The question is, is either of
these
correct?

I have the first wife of David J. Bozeman shown as Sally Bozeman, the
daughter
of Meady and Chloe Nelson Bozeman.
