Today, out of curiousity, I was looking at the TN Gen Web site at the
information on the State of Franklin 1782- 1788 and found the following:

Hosted by USGenNet, Inc.

PETITION OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE WESTERN COUNTRY
[State of Franklin, 1787]


>From The State Records of North Carolina, Vol. XXII, pp. 705-714

Ed. Note: Because so many of the above names are abbreviated, spelled "old
style" or mistranscribed, the following incomplete list of "search words"
has been added to this page:

Corson, Allison, Stivers, Styvers, Bartholmew, Shadrach, Denny, Potter,
Kirkpatrick, Benjamin, Eads, Starling, Strong, Moseley, Stubblefield,
Rudolph, Ferguson, Hagan, Dickson, Dixon, McDaniel, Humphrey, Carmack, Johnson,
Ridge, Norman, Clark, Biggs, Atwood, Shane, Owen, Pinkney, Huston, Payne,
Bennett, Austin, Hightower, Petherow, Norris, Hensley, Vachel, Hale,
Massingale, Massengill, Murphy, Spurgeon, Arbuthnot, Stokes, Waldrop, McLaren,
Billingsley, Marion, Bozeman, Finn, Burwell, Murrell


After looking at all the names, these are the only two that may be a
Bozeman and mistranscribed. Does any one reconized these names and can anyone
place any of our Bozeman families in the State of Franklin?

I just find the history side of this interesting and if anyone could place
or has information on Bozemans could place them on the first families of
Tn list. At this time, I believe there is only 1000 known families on this
list.
